About this listen
A secret has been revealed, and others will follow.
After a terrible revelation, Alex Roth must unlearn everything he knows of Thameland and the cycle of the Ravener, all the while hunting for the hidden priests of Uldar’s Rise.
As the First Apostle prepares to destroy the Fool, the villain receives an unexpected ally. Meanwhile, Alex himself has received new information about his Mark…information that could utterly change his life-path.
But he cannot keep his identity hidden forever. Not anymore.
Who will have the last laugh? Alex Roth? Or the grinning face of the Fool?
Book eight of the best-selling series. Continue your fantastical journey into a coming-of-age magic academy fantasy with a weak-to-strong progression into power, deepening mystery, a setting inspired by D&D, detailed world building and magical science, action, comedy, slice-of-life, and GameLit elements.

Sen never dreamed of ascension. Such were the aspirations of the rich young nobles, not orphans like him, scraping together a meager living on the streets of Orchard’s Reach. However, when destiny takes an unexpected turn, Sen finds himself thrust into the role of a cultivator’s disciple. Chosen over the nobles who once looked down on him, he is adopted into a makeshift family of three ancient cultivators, each with a lifetime of knowledge and insights.

Arden was left in the village by a dying mage, who never returned. With no way out of the village on his own, he had always held onto the hope that one day his magic would awaken and give him access to his spheres.

That all changes one night when his old flame, who escaped the village to become a mage’s anchor, returns. Ard’s life is about to go through some dramatic changes, and he’s not ready for them.

Due to unusual circumstances, Randidly starts in an isolated dungeon far beyond his level, forced to rely on the mysterious Traveler Shal in order to learn and survive with the dangerous new status quo for his world. But survive he does, only to leave the dungeon and discover that while he experienced several hellish months in the dungeon, only half a day passed on Earth. Randidly's capabilities are now more than enough to help build a small enclave of survivors, but that doesn't mean balancing his sense of responsibility against the plots of an unfriendly town will be easy.

Only bad thing is the ending
Wish the author could figure out how to end a book that doesnt feel like it was just chopped off mid-conversation.

It's in a good way to be one of the greatest fanthasy epics
The world expands, the storylines getting more epic, and the characters are well written. Thanks for this great book!

Another fun addition, but…
I understand what the author was trying to do with the second addition of the Games of Roal. The problem is, that section of the book could have been completely removed, us as the reader know how far the characters have come. We don’t need it spelled out. Unfortunately, this time around, the Games of Roal was just a chore to sit through and uninteresting.
The rest of the book was great.

Pacing
My goodness. I fell upon The Mark Of The Fool on a whim and have never been so appreciative that I had. The way Clarke can tell a story, build a world, and bring depth into characters is unparalleled. Not to mention to have Travis Baldree breathing life into the characters. I’m just sad that I can’t listen to more! This duo is something you don’t see very often and I’m just glad I’m a part of it. Well done.

Seamless development of characters and world building.
I'm a fantasy junkie and this is still my favorite series . Hope to see this series blow up bigger than Harry Potter. I certainly consider it to be superior!

short and ultimately empty
Easily the weakest and shortest of the series, it does a lot of prep work for the next few books but little else. It ends on a hollow note as well. It doesn't kill my desire to continue the series but for those who are somehow still on the fence after 7 books, it may have. It's a 6-7/10 book from an overall 8-9/10 series so I'm feeling a little more let down than I'd feel from some other series. It feels like the author sped wrote through all the set up just to get it out of the way and to have more time on the next few, genuinely hoping that's the case. There are a few defining moments but ultimately a paragraph or two could be written on the few major events and you'd be caught up for the next book.

everything about this book is amazing
almost everything is perfect. there are a few pronunciation errors like forecastle being pronounced hpw it looks and now how it's supposed to be pronounced which is more akin to folksull. minor things like that but aside from that it's amazing.
