A review by mweis
Dreadful by Caitlin Rozakis

3.0

*I received an eARC via NetGalley in exchange for an honest review.*

I love a good amnesia trope, so was thrilled to see this main character not only suffered from amnesia but turned out to be an evil wizard. There's a princess locked in a cell, goblins, a killer moat squid, and a garlic festival. I thought the prose fit perfectly with the tone of the book, and thought the amount of humor was perfect for my tastes. I can struggle with humor in books, and I think the book was a smidge long, but overall I thought this was a really solid debut and look forward to seeing what else Rozakis writes.

I think this is a perfect read for fans of T. Kingfisher's brand of humorous fantasy. And like with Kingfisher's prose, I think you'll know within the first chapter if this is the book for you or not, as the prose is very voicey.
