Kaitlyn‘s review of Apprentice to the Villain (Assistant to the Villain, Book 2) by Hannah Nicole Maehrer
Fantasy Romance published by Entangled: Red Tower Books 6 Aug 24
If you loved the first book in this series, you’ll adore this one just as much. This is a highly amusing adventure with some of the best characters. I love how we get such a closer look at everyone. I’m obsessed with every side character. Hannah, you had better not harm a single one of them. I will riot.
Once again, I’m dying for the next book and can’t wait to see where the adventure goes. These books are such a fun time and are cozy fantasy at its finest.
This is definitely a favorite cozy fantasy of mine! I especially love the stunning Bookish Box edition of the first book.
Grade: A
Summary:
NOTICE TO STAFF: There has been a disturbing increase in cheeriness, sprightly behavior, and overall optimism of late. Please resume your former dark, ominous terrors at your earliest convenience. —Mgmt
Evie Sage has never been happier to be the assistant to The Villain. Who would have thought that working for an outrageously handsome (shhh, bad for his brand) evil overlord would be so rewarding? Still, the business of being bad is demanding, the forces of good are annoyingly persistent, and said forbidding boss is somewhat…er, out-of-evil-office.
But Rennedawn is in grave trouble, and all signs—Kingsley’s included—point to catastrophe. Something peculiar is happening with the kingdom’s magic, and it’s made The Villain’s manor vulnerable to their enemies…including their nemesis, the king.
Now it’s time for Evie to face her greatest challenge: protecting The Villain’s lair, all of his nefarious works, and maybe (provided no one finds out) the entire kingdom. No pressure, Evie.
It’s time to step out of her comfort zone and learn new skills. Like treason. Dagger work. Conspiring with the enemy. It’s all so…so…delightfully fun.
But what happens when the assistant to The Villain is ready to become his apprentice?
