Summary

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)

I'm absolutely hooked. This first book of the School of Swords and Serpents series is a breathtaking, deliriously funny, heartwrenching tale that I can't wait to continue. I'll be recommending it to everyone I speak to for years.

I'm hooked.

Pavi is a great narrator, overall story was great - a couple of annoying parts when no one listens to the MC, definitely built frustration for the the character. Ending of first book was great and already got the next in the series, looking forward to how the story and world will develop.

Enjoyable with great potential
