Villains by Necessity

A twist on the classic fantasy novel.

one of my childhood faves

if you like Discworld by Pratchett, I think you will like this.

I've been hoping to find a copy of this book in used bookstores for decades.
I checked it out of the library as a teen, and have been so sad that it is out of print.

yep

readers microphone had interference on rare occasions. overall a decent book. i liked the focus on characters

My favorite book but with some production issues.

What happens when good wins and decides to the extra mile to make sure evil is forever defeated? The end of the world it seems. At least it will if an Assassin, a thief, a Druid, a Black Knight, and an Sorceress fail to bring back the dark and stop a blinding apocalypse. The story my feel at times to be just the classic story with the roles reversed but it’s just so much fun to see a world where things like unicorns are the dangerous monsters and light is not as good as it thinks. My only complaint is with the sound quality. Weird scratching sounds some times pop up and it sometimes sounds like the switch narrators. But I love this story and have no problem recommending it to those who like classic fantasy with a twist.

wonderful story that brought me into D&D

I found the paperback in a library sale . I read every page like it was a gift. I gave the copy to a friend who was feeling down. within 2 months we were playing D&D together . my Samander assassin and his Robin centar bard. when I saw this in the listings on Audible. I knew I had to go to the 6 lands again.

Love this book!!!

So glad I’ve found this on audible now as well. Countless reads and listens await me I’m sure.
