Book: How to Become the Dark Lord and Die Trying by Django Wexler

Discussion Leader: DeVon Green
Attendees: DeVon Green, Ed Stewart

What we liked about this book: This was a light, fun read and we became significantly invested in Davi’s journey through this fantasy world.
What we didn’t like: While the story made good on completing its arc, showing us how Davi became the Dark Lord, it raised several questions and created plot points along the way that were not handled in this version of the story. We hated the cliffhanger ending.
Verdict: Two thumbs up!
