Review of 'Mother of Learning' on 'Goodreads'
5 stars
4.5 Stars.
A time loop, a student who has to improve rapidly in order to save his world, and a fascinating magic system make Mother of Learning's first book an absolute treat to read.

The pacing, however, is incredible. The plot is tight, clever, and the addiction factor high. The stakes are high, and the main character is intelligent and fairly mature.
Recommended to fans of progression fantasy.
