About this listen

The day after Hugo gains access to magic, his train explodes.

Unknown magic flings him back in time, and he narrowly avoids death this time. While he is trying to unravel the mystery of this unexpected second chance, life goes on. His new gifts lead him to the magic academy. At the school, he will face off against noble students who don’t want him to be there, teachers who expect him to already know everything, and literal monsters that want to kill him.

To survive and thrive, he will need weapons, friends, and a healthy danger sense. But first, he has to pick which magic domain suits him best.

I enjoyed the premise of this story. Since I'm the second person to rate here (according to audible) it definitely did not deserve a 1 star rating. Great world building, struggles and political intrigue. But it got a little too much. MC can't get a break. I just felt sorry that he was always getting knocked down just when he was almost getting somewhere, and no-one he can truly turn to. Not even his own mother.
Yet, this was well written and a great story. Just a little too depressing for me

Cleverly written... but
