I made it to chapter 11. My biggest gripe with this book is the main character has convinced himself he is useless in his part as the fool to help save the world however constantly uses his fool's powers to save himself and his sister. How can a character both disregard their power while constantly using it to save their lives? Armoured Squits usually appear in multiples, they are very fast and usually strike at the same time. Cyclone Slash can protect the Knight from both sides and easily deflect them all. My travels brought me to Hallownest purely out of curiosity; though I expected to find naught but a desolate ruin down below, what awaited me was quite possibly the adventure of a lifetime.

Pain shot through his side; the Mark’s interference rose, breaking his concentration for an instant when a bone spike scraped along his torso. The minotaur suddenly leapt at the pazuzite hovering a half dozen feet above the battle, his mace swinging.The initial plot hook is intriguing. A hero that runs? Quite unusual. The first few chapters are engaging, and we can't wait to get into the actual world-building, and fleshing out the mythology of this world... I struggled often and early to care for the characters or be invested as the story progressed. The action scenes weren't very convincing and I couldn't stand the younger sister. I've read enough books to know that if I feel like dropping around the 25% mark, then I should. He tried waving the golem’s flame away with his trident, but suddenly stiffened: realising he was between Claygon and Kyembe. Then Hannah’s power was with him, pushing against Kaz-Mowang’s with a vengeance that Alex could only describe as personal. With a torrent of energy like a bursting dam, it shattered both the demon’s will and his resistance to magic, flashing out to wrap around the massive form. I loved the take of refusing a call from your god to one of the chosen ones. I also loved the fact that it's crystal clear the author is currently doing some kind of high learning degree and he is focusing on random aspects like lab safety and professor politics.

To that end, I’ve chosen to leave my completed journal behind, in hopes that another brave explorer might use it to piece together the myriad of mysteries of this forsaken kingdom." 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.

Alex nodded to a spot between Claygon and the Spirit Killer. “Charge your ring and aim it right there when I tell you.”

Mark of the Fool: A Progression Fantasy Epic Kindle Edition

The other bad writing was in the dungeon fight at the start of this book. It was basically a cut and paste of previous fights. Our author simply replaced the names of the monsters and the fighting locations, but everything else was pretty much status quo. There was may be one or two new fighting techniques, but the rest was a rehash. MC felt like a side character in the team that distracts the target till the main character comes swooping down to save him. After his parents died, Alex Roth had one desire: become a wizard. Through hard work, he was accepted into the University of Generasi, the world’s greatest academy of wizardry...There’s one small problem. The Mark insists on preventing the Fool from learning and casting spells, while enhancing skills outside of divinity, combat, and spellcraft… My only other complaint is that once the MC gets to the magic school part of the story, the little sister kind of vanishes. Sometimes for many chapters at a time. And that was a little bit of a bummer, because her presence very much made this story unique to me. She started popping up a little bit more toward the end, so hopefully that'll continue.

Her book details her experiences within the kingdom of Hallownest and acts as an outside source providing some unique reflections, accounts, and opinions on her findings. Ellina's character beyond her time spent in Hallownest is not explored and is unknown.
