Small irritation, Theresa mentions getting another date, but none happens in this book. The closest event to a date is some training that has some fun. Convinced that Alex had teleported through the planes, the bull-headed fiend raised his trident, spun around and lashed his lightning at… So. No story arc at the end. No climax. And no resulting satisfaction. The only reason this gets such a high score is because up until the non-structured ending, it was a superb YA book.

Their inn sat at the end of the street—a busy place near the centre of town—and it had been home for Alex and his sister ever since they had been orphaned. Master and Mrs. Lu were kind folks, and he had spent most of his childhood as friends with their daughter, Theresa. However, at the very end of the novel, when Ellina plans to leave the kingdom, she does catch a glimpse of the Knight as she's returning to the surface. And some of those gains have definitely been his friends. Khalik, Thundar, and Isolde don't have the personal ties to Thameland, but they're just as invested in this expedition because of him. I like the friendships they have between them, and how they're all clearly distinct and different, but that's part of why they're so good as a group. Paul shook his head. “The hell’s wrong with you?” He pointed up at one of the fountain’s statues rising over their heads. “Act the fool long enough and you’ll get the fool’s mark. That little sister of yours needs a brother she can rely on.” I'm also impressed with the world building, and how that's conveyed naturally in passing and not through exposition or cumbersome info dumps.

Guardsmen have to make sure the youth are on the right path, don’t we?” Paul rose to his full height, puffing out his chest unconsciously. “Anyway, off you go now, if you’re right, this’ll probably get ugly. Oh, and happy birthday, Alexander. Eighteen’s a big number. Keep those coins and try and treat yourself.” The writing is actually very good. Good enough that it carried me through to the end of the book even I wanted to quit. If you forgive the odd immersion-breaking anachronisms and pop culture references. Fire magic and hellfire wove together, roiling with a life of its own; demons around their master burst into flame. Stone beneath his feet melted, bubbling like lava, his trident wilted like a flower hit by the first frost, metal dripping like candle wax.All in all it's a good story, but bear in mind you are going to learn a lot about student life and jump from feel good slice of life chapters to plot changing ones with no warning.

On the negative side, I'm not a fan of extended enemy perspectives, and it seemed convenient that the all-powerful chancellor was absent for all of the battles. On the positive side, I think the dark hints about the motivations of the church, and perhaps the god, are exciting foreshadowing for the remainder of the series. This also implies that the enemy may, at least in part, also be a victim. That would be an interesting subversion of expectations. And so, to The Fool, Alex simply offered his empathy. He knew well how it was to struggle. Thankfully, those days were at an end. Using the last of his staff’s magic, he grabbed a piece of waybread from the bag, then cast invisibility on himself and muttered the incantation for Call Through Ice.Alex paused just as he was about to pull open the kitchen door. That was all news to him. McHarris paid well enough, but he terrorized all his assistants. Welts still marked the young man’s arms from when he’d been too slow whipping the custard a couple of days ago. After taking down the Winged Fool, it is a good time to heal as Battle Obbles do not actively try to aim at the Knight. Once all four Garpedes are done crossing, the next row spawns. Stay at the top platform to get the longest possible time to heal.

You’re trying to pay us to get a service done for you. It’s a bribe. One where you might not get what you want, so it’s a stupid bribe.” So this book has a lot of my favorite scenes in the story so far. Alex meeting the Heroes is a big one---we finally get to see the others Chosen besides Alex and Cedric. And Alex might feel sorry for them, but he has absolutely no desire to get dragged into their world. He'd rather help from the side, by pulling in his university, instead of trekking into the dungeons without all the things he's gained from his last year in classes. Bone crunched, and the stunned mercenary howled, blood running down his leg, pooling on the stone below. The young wizard’s heart thundered in his chest: Kaz-Mowang’s life draining magic was hitting him hard, fatigue was building, threatening to force him from the fight. His lungs burned.What could have been an intriguing series opener turned out to be an average outing because of uneven pacing and some unnecessary chapters While the conflict with the Ravener only reveals slight reveals in its mystery, the Church of Uldar is shown to have a secret sect, and the Heroes of Uldar have tensions within the group. I'll give you a hint on how to get through the first part of this book. Drink two of Alex's Haste Potions, and speed read through it as fast as you can. It was really bad writing. But it says something that those are my two complaints. Author winking at us with insider jokes and the sister not getting enough attention.
