Publisher's summary

Damien nearly ended the world. Now, his mistake might be the only thing that can save it.

Good things come to those who wait. Damien Vale didn’t, and he ended up bound to an Eldritch creature from beyond the reaches of space. It has lived since the dawn of time, seen the world born and destroyed countless times, and wants to be called Henry.

Unusual companion or not, Damien was still determined to go to a mage college and study magic. He wants nothing more than to live normal life as a researcher, but if Henry’s true nature is revealed, he’ll be killed.

To top it all off, Damien’s teacher is a madman from the front lines of war, his alcoholic dean suspects something is awry with his companion, and Blackmist might possibly be the worst school in history. Damien has to prevent the end of the world, but he isn’t even sure he’s going to make it through Year One at Blackmist.

Blackmist is a slice-of-life mixed with LitRPG in a magic school setting. A slow-build power fantasy from Actus, the best-selling author of Morcster Chef. It's perfect for fans of Cradle, Iron Prince, and Mage Errant.

Great coming of age story

Loved the whole thing, it's a great coming of age story with a darker underdog theme.

3.5 stars

I enjoyed it. I’ll probably read the next one. But I didn’t LOVE it.

It is another kindle unlimited book that was previously a web serial, so it doesn’t feel like a complete story and just picks a place to stop.

Academy LitRPG Progression Fantasy

Fun story with a great take on getting a magic companion/familiar gone haywire. The character development was great, the combat was enjoyable, and the academy life was well thought out. MC is a very inquisitive person and an investigative academic at heart. It's a great story! :)

Very enticing story

Once I started listening, this book consumed all my available free time. I would lay in bed just listening to it. I really enjoy how common sense is employed by many of the characters, instead of letting ignorance lead the suspense.
