Description

The New York Times-bestselling sharp-witted, debut high fantasy farce featuring killer moat squid, toxic masculinity, evil wizards and a garlic festival - all at once. Perfect for fans of T. Kingfisher, K. J. Parker and Travis Baldree.

It's bad enough waking up in a half-destroyed evil wizard's workshop with no eyebrows, no memories, and no idea how long you have before the Dread Lord Whomever shows up to murder you horribly and then turn your skull into a goblet or something.

It's a lot worse when you realize that Dread Lord Whomever is... you.

Gav isn't really sure how he ended up with a castle full of goblins, or why he has a princess locked in a cell. All he can do is play along with his own evil plan in hopes of getting his memories back before he gets himself killed.

But as he realizes that nothing - from the incredibly tasteless cloak adorned with flames to the aforementioned princess - is quite what it seems, Gav must face up to all the things the Dread Lord Gavrax has done. And he'll have to answer the hardest question of all - who does he want to be?

A high fantasy farce featuring killer moat squid, toxic masculinity, an evil wizard convocation, and a garlic festival. All at once. All in all, Dread Lord Gavrax has had better weeks.

Selten ein so unfassbar gutes und witziges Buch gelesen - endlich etwas ohne kitsch und mal etwas ganz neues: Aus der Sicht des Bösen, was gar nicht mehr böse sein will. Ich habe bis zum Schluss mitgefiebert und gelacht! Der Humor ist großartig ohne die Story ins lächerliche zu ziehen. Ein Highlight des Jahres!

2,5 ⭐️ This was funny, yet a bit boring… Kinda cozy fantasy-ish, but with a somewhat likable villain with amnesia as protagonist. The best part of the book were definitely the goblins.
