Critics Review

A wonderful romp with a Dark Lord who gets a taste for Pratchett-esque small town living, assisted (kind of) by a floofy hellhound and a devious goat. Lots of fun! – Django Wexler, author of How to Become the Dark Lord and Die Trying
Absolutely delightful. What an unexpected treat. – Jodi Taylor, bestselling author of The Chronicles of St Mary’s series and The Time Police series
