Mage by Mistake 3: A Fantasy Adventure

Assassin in Magic School Series

By: Jin Holland

Narrated by: JD Tanner, Kitty Perrelli

Survival is only getting harder.

Damien’s recent fight has drawn unwanted attention—especially from Eric Avalon, the father of the body he now inhabits. Eric has begun to question how his untalented son could have grown so powerful in such a short time. One wrong answer could mean death for Damien, but lying low isn’t an option either.

If Damien wants to understand the strange foresight plaguing him, he needs the help of Professor Dan, a man whose attention isn’t easily earned. His best shot? Proving his worth by advancing to Elite 1. To do that, he needs to grow stronger—strong enough for everyone to take notice. At least, when it comes to magic. His true identity still needs to stay buried.

And then there’s Sylvia. Once his most vocal critic, now she’s acting...different. But Damien doesn’t have time to figure out why—especially with the Academy excursion approaching, marking the beginning of midterms. It’s his chance to finally showcase his strength and draw the right kind of attention.

There's a problem though. Strength alone won’t be enough. Not when he’s surrounded by ambitious nobles, relatives that are getting harder to read, and secrets he’s only begun to uncover. One mistake won’t just cost him a ranking—it could cost him everything.

perfect story

I binged all 3 books so far.. im impatiently waiting for more. I rely hope there's more.

Good

I read the first 3 books now, and I think the 1st remains the best. The first two books end on rather steep cliffhangers though, so that's not great. The 3rd book at least ended somewhat satisfactory. It feels like these 3 books should have been one book.

Anyway, I hope there's more coming because the story is obviously not at an end.

Slipping

Just as the relationship with Levi and Sylvia, was progressing, we get some random plot twist to start it all over. Which seems like a cheap attempt to insert needless drama into the story. Instead of advancing the plot. While describing all the women the MC has seen intimately Daphne is just forgotten which makes no since she developed a decent relationship with the MC. The author needs to keep the relationships smaller or get better at making sure each relationship gets decent story time.
