Being the Dark Lord and Prince of Evil is not as much fun as it sounds, particularly if you are a basically decent person. King Mordak is just such a person. Technically he's more goblin than person, but the point is that he is really keen to be a lot less despicable than his predecessors. Not that the other goblins appreciate Mordak's attempts to redefine the role. Why should they when his new healthcare program seems designed to actually extend life expectancy, and his efforts to end a perfectly reasonable war with the dwarves appear to have become an obsession?

Brilliant! Another very witty novel.

Tom Holt's humor is English and thus very dry. He gently mocks and upends Tolkien and other fantasy writers with current cultural themes - in this case second home owners and lawyers - and a deep appreciation of Tolkienian characters. Some readers may not like his brand of intelligent, wry, and absurd writing but that is their loss. Personally I detest 'humorous' books that try too hard to be funny. This is not one of them.
Highly recommended for the intelligent reader/listener.
