Narrative Concering Books Villains by Necessity

With the banishment of Evil from the realms, the final victory of Good is assured-unless a few stalwart antiheroes can save the world from a serious and potentially fatal imbalance. First novelist Forward explores the complications that arise from a surfeit of "goodness" in the world. The result is a skewed version of the epic fantasy that features an assassin, a thief, an evil sorceress, a dark knight, and an implacable druid as the villains-turned-heroes who must restore the delicate balance of opposing forces before their world disappears in a blinding flash of Goodness and Light. -- Library Journal

Forward's first novel gives the concept of the balance between good and evil a most ingenious twist: What if good were so totally triumphant that it became a worse danger than evil, and a band of unemployed evil characters had to go on a desperate quest to find the means of putting the saving bit of evil back into the world? The result of this twist is an almost straightforward quest tale, with numerous well-drawn characters (including a centaur who starts off as a secret agent for good and eventually joins the side of evil), great ingenuity about magic, very creditable world-building, and considerable wit. Although bearing its share of first-novel flaws, it has many more virtues, which include an underlying, serious examination of the good-evil dichotomy that is the basis of so many role-playing games. -- Roland Green

Evaluate Based On Books Villains by Necessity

What would happen if the forces of good managed to completely destroy or drive evil off the face of the world? It goes to pot. That is according to Sam, the last assassin, Arcee, the last thief master, and their moltly crew of evil-doers. It's a very interesting read, and one that I highly recommend.

This is easily one of my favorite books of all time. The final battle between Good and Evil has been fought, and Good has won...but a small group of anti-heroes decide to quest to bring Evil back into the world. It parodies more things than I can even think to name, although the most obvious is the Dragonlance Saga. It is really sad that so few copies of this book were printed...

Note: I listened to an audio book.So this book originally came to my attention as a comedy fantasy- WHICH IT IS NOT. Whoever put this book on that list on goodreads.com should be flogged. My expectations were completely wrong and as a result I got bored with this book. It is a good book but much more of an epic high fantasy quest book with a twist. Had I come prepared to sink into a fantasy land for a good long while I believe I would have enjoyed this book much more. As it is, I am thinking I

Torturously boring. I'm just so glad I'm done with it I can't even be bothered to write a proper reviw right now. Maybe later.

I enjoyed this a lot. It was not the most well written book (OMG yep we get it they're evil) but it was interesting, unique, and funny. It felt like a premise for an RPG game. Pretty decent audiobook too.I think I'll be reading this again in the future :)

Must read. Kill the nifty gnomes!

No, this book isn't heavy, thought-provoking reading, and it isn't a huge, epic thing like Lord of the Rings. It's just a good book! The characters are likeable, the plot is straightforward, but involved enough to pull you in. It's a good rainy-day book, or as a mental break from heavy, complicated fantasies (or English textbooks).If you can find a copy, read and enjoy it-- that's all!I read this book the summer I turned fifteen; I'd checked it out from the local library. From start to finish, I
