Summary

Hi, I'm Jackson Blackwell. Professional bad guy, minor god, and most importantly, the Shadow Master. I'm the multiverse's first, best, and… ahem, only, villain advisor. I slither into other gods' universes and do what i do best: make their villains better. For profit and personal power, that is. I'm a villain after all.

Sadly, even the infamous Shadow Master can get double crossed. Trapped in a horribly generic fantasy realm and left to die, I must use my skills and wits to exploit the rules, mock genre flaws, undermine authority, and win the day.

Oh yeah, you read that right. In these books—in my books—the bad guys can win.

Like magic 2.0, and don't split the party, this book locks in "meta fantasy" as it's own distinct genre. Simple, clear and fun. It makes for a great weekend read. Characters are few, and clearly defined. No overlapping descriptions or names. Places are distinct, and well described. It will serve as great inspiration for my dungeons and dragons campaign.

Fun

This well performed book will show you just how evil and sadistic you are. Everytime you smirk while listening to this book you should feel ashamed of yourself however you won't because you are a sadistic deviant and probably going to hell. I'll see you there...

a good test for how evil you are.

Its fun, and satisfing. The story follows a "not evil" villian as he must overcome various challenges in a land without his full power. It was moderately easy to follow, however i wish that some of the characters were given more memorable names. This book is chock full of references if you are in to that kind of thing.

A interesting story with few unexpected turns.

I love this genre, but this one is a tough one. Definitely not for everyone.

Couldn't finish it - tried to like it.
