From the publisher:
A 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.
Dreadful by Caitlin Rozakis is set to be released May 28th, 2024 from Titan Books.
Why am I waiting on this book: I like the first paragraph of the synopsis. It's fantasy and humor. I love a good read with humor. And I enjoy reading fantasy. From some of the absurdities in the description, it seems like a perfect fit for me.

I almost featured this one as well but at the last minute, decided on another. I am really excited for this one though.
ReplyDeleteI liked your pick, Cold Snap by Lindy Ryan, too. Definitely sounds like I would read it with the lights on though. Hope you enjoy it!
