About this listen

A sharp-witted, debut high fantasy farce featuring killer moat squid, toxic masculinity, evil wizards, and a garlic festival-all at once.

It's bad enough waking up in a half-destroyed evil wizard's workshop with no eyebrows, no memories, and no idea how long you have before the Dread Lord Whomever shows up to murder you horribly and then turn your skull into a goblet or something.

It's a lot worse when you realize that Dread Lord Whomever is . . . you.

Gav isn't really sure how he ended up with a castle full of goblins, or why he has a princess locked in a cell. All he can do is play along with his own evil plan in hopes of getting his memories back before he gets himself killed.

But as he realizes that nothing-from the incredibly tasteless cloak adorned with flames to the aforementioned princess-is quite what it seems, Gav must face up to all the things the Dread Lord Gavrax has done. And he'll have to answer the hardest question of all-who does he want to be?

A high fantasy farce featuring killer moat squid, toxic masculinity, an evil wizard convocation, and a garlic festival. All at once. All in all, Dread Lord Gavrax has had better weeks.

Forgetful Evil Wizard, What’s not to like!

This was exactly the audiobook I was looking for. A fantasy novel with Wizards, Goblins and a bit of humour. I wasn’t looking to start another full series as I have a number of series I’m working on, but after this I’ll be seeing what next fantasy books are to come from Caitlin Rozakis.

Cozy Fantasy

A cute, cozy book about a dark wizard who loses his memories and begins to rethink his choices, DREADFUL is exactly what it sets out to be.

The characters are endearing and fun, with each one having a distinct personality. The plot is on the slower side, which allows for shenanigans and trouble before the exciting ending. The world building is light but the stakes are high, and the humour is definitely there.

Highly recommended for anyone who is looking for a cozy fantasy!
