Dark Lord Davi: How to Become the Dark Lord and Die Trying

Review

This book's writing, and by that I mean the narrator's way of expressing the world, is very crude, refferential, and unusual for a fantasy novel. Personally, it teeters on the line between fun and obnoxious, crossing back and forth quite often. I can imagine some readers will be extremely annoyed while others will find it incredibly funny. The first few chapters were the most grating, as the narrator, Davi, had minimal conversations with other characters and spent most of her time alone in her head. This resulted in too much self-deprecating, referential humor. The story does improve in the later parts when Davi faces more external challenges and interacts with other characters and the rest of the world. The plot itself is simple and easy to follow. The real selling point is you find Davi funny and interesting enough to read the book through.
