Greetings Dragon Pagers!
I had just finished catching up on my podcasts when the discussion of how hard it is to write an anti-hero, villian, came up in Episode 291A. One of the best anti-heroes that I have had the opportunity to read was written by Jacqueline Carey in The Sundering duology – The Banewreaker and The Godslayer. It was a great depiction of the noble, yet misunderstood, motivations of a villian that an entire world rallied against to put asunder.
I recommend these books to anyone that enjoys not looking at the scales of good and evil as not so much black and white.
Thank you and keep up the good work!
Those are the books I was thinking of, that I couldn’t remember while we were talking!!
