About this listen

When Jack Vance's grandfather is murdered, his dying words are to get Jack to promise to attend Darkthorn Academy.

Jack doesn't like it, but he'll do what is necessary to honor the man who raised him. But surviving Darkthorn Academy won't be easy. Jack will have to make alliances, learn to harness magic, and face dangerous enemies—both alive and dead. If he's lucky, he might just make it to second year.

Darkthorn Academy is a coming-of-age fantasy adventure with gamelit aspects, including a slightly overpowered MC, a dragon companion, and a team of adventurers. It’s inspired by games like Skyrim, Diablo 2 and Fallout.

I haven't finished the book yet, but I've already spotted on an error on the 2nd chapter(repeated phase not cut out)

Also, the narrator's pacing is off, quite often, there are gaps in the middle of conversations that feel more like the end of a sentence or chapter.

Vikas Adam needs to get his act together
