How to Become the Dark Lord and Die Trying

By- Django Wexler

    Once again I was on my weekly quest at the local library and checking out new books and just new to me books when I noticed this book with the  weird cover and ridiculous title. I read the reviews and the synopsis and I have never heard of a book like it and it just sounded hilarious so I checked it out and was not disappointed.

    The book starts in a the middle of Davi, the man character being tied up and getting tortured. She has a vulgar sense of humor and cultural references that make absolutely no sense to the other characters but as a reader I was cracking up. Davi is stuck in this medieval world filled with humans, orcs, wizards, and other species of non humans, she is currently the ruler of the Kingdom and trying to save it from the Dark Lord and her army of minions. Every time she dies she respawns at the beginning of her story and she has died over and over, always failing to save the Kingdom in the end and dying over and over has driven her a little insane. After once again being captured and tortured she has decided enough is enough, if she can not save the Kingdom from the Dark Lord she will become the Dark Lord herself and finally win. She kills herself and starts a new life with a new plan, she will not only join the winning side but she will lead it and take us on her journey. 

    Absolutely fantastic book, a combination of World of Warcraft, Deadpool, and Ready Player One. If books got rated based on content this novel would defiantly get rated R with mature scenes, language, gore, nudity, and sexual content. It only took me two days to read because the story and humor had me wanted to know what was coming next, and literally laughing out loud. I can not really think of anything wrong with the novel unless you say it is overly sexual and inappropriate, but honestly it fits the culture now and really gives a Deadpool feel and vibe. I highly recommend this book to adults over eighteen that do not shy away from adult content and are not easily offended, and want to know if choosing the bad side is the answer to Davi's problems.
