‘Legends and Lattes’ meets the unfathomable power of garlic in this splendid new addition to the cosy fantasy genre. Written by American author Caitlin Rozakis,‘Dreadful’ follows an amnesia-struck Dark Wizard grappling with an identity crisis, moral crisis, and world-ending crisis all at once. Gav makes for a thoroughly entertaining protagonist as he tries to bluff his way through encounters with goblins, evil wizards, captives, heroes, and more without anyone realising that the Dread Lord Gavrax doesn’t have the faintest idea what’s going on. Audiences are treated to an intriguing morally-grey perspective as Gav questions his past self’s actions and decisions, but also hesitates to jeopardise the villainous plans he can’t remember (or cringe at his tacky decor). Featuring a myriad of entertaining supporting characters, dangerous spells, and an unexpected tourism venture, readers will be hooked by the novel's witty self-awareness and entertaining takes on classic fantasy tropes.
