Spell Breaker: A Progression Fantasy Adventure

De: A.P. Gore, Patricia Jones

Narrado por: Matt Hicks, Erin Bateman

He's not here to learn. He's here to rewrite the rules.

For two centuries, Daren Morin was one of the most powerful mages in existence, a master of forbidden magic and feared across the realm. But betrayal ended everything.

Now, he wakes up...eighteen years old. Again.

Stripped of power. Trapped in a ruthless magic academy. Mocked by classmates who call him "Moron."

This time, he's weaker.

This time, they think he's no threat.

This time, they're dead wrong.

He remembers every secret. Every spell. Every betrayal. And he's going to use it all, to rise again, and to make sure they regret underestimating him.

Because Daren didn't survive centuries of power by being merciful.

And he's not starting now.

Join Daren in his journey to power once again. For fans of Progression Fantasy, Magic Academy, and cunning Antiheroes who play to win.

good performance, decent story

fun little adventure, interesting take on the MC.

Supporting characters are all unlikable idiots, which makes them just annoying. This bring the story down a bit as there is just no one likable or relatable.

Story was just getting started when it ended abruptly making it feel incomplete or fragment. This drives the 'Story' rating down considerably for me.

only other thing to note is last hour of audiobook is just a peak at a different book. I very much dislike this practice as I would prefer not waste a credit on a audiobook under 10 hours. A sub 10 hour novel is little more then a novella and just assume read directly.

The MC reminds you he was a dark lord every 5 minutes. Overall decent.

The MC reminds you he was a dark lord every 5 minutes. Overall decent and worth the credit.

The best part of anti-hero!

The narration was impeccable. The story was incredibly engaging and was just what I was looking for. I have read numerous anti-hero regression novels and this novel balances learned power and main characters current abilities beautifully. This novel goes up there on my top 10. I will be purchasing the books as they come out!

Bad

Every character is impulsive and unnecessarily antagonistic towards the MC. Even the teachers behave with absolutely no tact, respect, or maturity. If the academy has rules, they seem more like a suggestion in this book.

I think the MC is suppose to be an anti hero, but he is about as evil as Gru from Despicable me or Megamind. He talks evil-ish but he only constantly reminds you of how evil he is by his deep dark deeds of his past life.

Also, while it’s not really a negative, but rather something I just didn’t like, the weird compulsion trait every familiar has is just a weird concept to me. It genuinely reminds me of that one forum trend where people would pick their own super power but the first comment would pick the drawback. In general I’m not a fan of scripted or explicitly stated drawbacks in anything. It’s annoyingly common in Litrpg’s.

There are a lot of books out there that I don’t like due to personal preferences, but this book just feels low quality. Like one those wuxia or xanxia novels but instead took a stab at western fantasy.

Worth it!

This was really enjoyable. I liked it so much I purchased the e-books and completed book two which was even better than the first book.
