Mother of Learning: ARC 1 by Domagoj Kurmaić, nobody103
5.0

It was fucking amazing, the elevator pitch is Harry Potter meets Groundhog Day, however I'd like to add that the setting is 100% Dungeons and Dragons, perhaps an Eberron with the higher levels of Forgotten Realms.

I enjoyed every part of this book, Zorian as a dorky teenager, having a simple powerhead like Zach failing for decades in the time loop, the psychic spiders, the magic system felt like a (if biased) expanded version of regular D&D magic.

5/5, full recommend, I guess some may call it YA, but I feel there's enough seriousness for it to be adult - age independent.
