Another five star, just like the 1st one. I love Evie and Trystan. Both are good and also villains. I’m a sucker for found family, excellent banter, and morally grey characters. This is a laugh out loud story that makes you feel all the feels. Highly recommend and looking forward to the next one. (

This was an excellent follow-up to the Assistant to the Villian. It had both intrigue and humor which kept it interesting. I loved the main characters. Who doesn't love a frog that uses signs to communicate? My only complaint is it ends with a cliff hanger and who knows when the next book in the series will come out. If I had known it would end the way it did, I would have held off buying it until the next book was also available (

First, I love the map in this book. I spent some time just enjoying that. My favorite character in this series will always be Kingsley, the frog. He is quite the character. They try to ditch him but he always tags along. Where he gets the signs from, I don't know. They are well-timed.

The beginning is a plot twist & rescue that is both daring and in true villain style. It had a bit of a fairytale twist, but I enjoyed it very much. This book has them trying to find all the parts to trigger one prophecy while the villain attempts to avoid another.

I love that the villain actually thinks that he is the bad guy. He seems more like the Robin Hood type of guy. This book kept me up into the overnight hours, it was so good. Overall, a fun book and I can't wait to see what comes next. (

Epigraph

Dedication

To my brothers, Avery, Jake, and Ben, for every time you made my heart lighter even at its heaviest and for every time you told me I smell (I know that was code for I love you).

And for all of you, this is what I think it would be like to be the morally gray fantasy villain's apprentice.

First words

Once upon a time...

It was an ordinary day for The Villain, aside from his body being on fire.
