Jace Warin never wanted anything more than to attend the School of Swords and Serpents to escape the labor camps and restore his family's stained honor.

But the determined young martial artist soon discovers the school he's always dreamed about is teeming with secret plots and sinister designs. To survive, he will have to master long-lost jinsei techniques, repair his wounded soul, and face down a most unexpected enemy: The Academy's ruthless headmaster and cunning professors.

Hollow Core is the first book in the School of Swords and Serpents series, a tale of wuxia adventure, cultivation mastery, and lurking threats.

“Wow, this book is crazy-good. If the Harry Potter series were somehow violently smashed together with the characters from Mortal Kombat, you might have something that comes close to the School of Swords and Serpents.” (James A. Hunter, best-selling author of Rogue Dungeon, Bibliomancer, and the LitRPG epic Viridian Gate Online)

Wasn’t a huge fan the first time I listened to it. Put it aside and came back after a few years. Glad I did! MC is a little dense for my liking, but the cultivation system is interesting enough to keep me going. Not Andrew Rowe levels of detail, but what’s there is cool.

I liked it better the second time around

plot is overall not that bad. characters are not too inspired. it's a fun book but sometimes the writing gets bad. there are whole sections that had me cringing. author uses silly descriptive words unironically. if you are looking for some pulpy progression fantasy/cultivation fantasy and have ready will wright and Andrew Rowe it could be worth checking out.

weak writing
