The main character is as fucked up as you'd ever expect your most hated book antagonist to be. Only this time, he's not an antagonist. He's the main character.
It's a real-life lesson in leadership, an allusion to pretentious saviour-Stalins and Christ-Hitlers who believe that they can change the world by breaking it first.
The book proves it's possible to write Grimdark fantasy without anti-heroes (take that Mark Lawrence and Joe Abercrombie fans!).
