Mark of the Fool

Wrote a review for

Promising start! Feels like I could end up liking it as much as Cradle, so that makes it worth continuing. The premise of trying to make the best of some bad luck feels new too, when many other main characters have weirdly good luck.

I like how there seem to be many different paths to power, each of which has a fair bit of depth and interaction with the others. The characters are ok too -- usually I'd be reluctant to read something set in a school, since all the characters end up being too angsty, but that's not an issue here.

Some funny moments in there too with references to other fiction.
