The Dark Lord's Handbook: Conquest
Amazon.com The Dark Lord's Handbook: Conquest
My review -
Morden,
who has learnt all his Dark Lording from a book legible only to him, is now
intent upon Issuing Forth from his dread stronghold to conquer his enemies.
There are heroes intent upon stopping him and they have recruited some ancient
beings to help. Griselda, his foul-mouthed Dark Queen, leaves and opposes him.
However, a new flight of dark dragons arises to assist him. There's a furious
battle at the end and things throughout didn't always turn out as I expected.
I
loved Book One of this series and the same wry humour pervades this second
book. For a ruthless, self-serving villain, Lord Morden Deathwing has an
endearing side and I find myself torn between wanting the 'goodies' to win -
including a rich and self-indulgent Chancellor and cheering for an undead
dragonlich. Such is the persuasive power of Paul Dale's writing. Very
enjoyable.
