From Hero to Villain
What does a three-headed ogre do when they are banned from being a hero?Why, apply to be a henchman of The Dark Lord, of course.Prepare yourself for a story of evil plans and dark deeds, as Og-Grim-Dog discovers whether a life of villainy is really all it’s cracked up to be.Early praise for this series:“Hilarious, action packed and full of surprising twists from the … series:
“Hilarious, action packed and full of surprising twists from the beginning to the very end.” – The Magic Book Corner
“Og-Grim-Dog was an entertaining, humorous, satirical book that was lighthearted, fun, yet carried some great messages: friendships, working with others not like yourself, needing others in order to be successful, and standing up for others even when they are different.” – John Pepe, Author of The Lone Wolf
“I especially loved the star of the show, Og-Grim-Dog, and “their” conversations. The way ogres work – the different personalities of the heads, and how they bicker – is incredibly entertaining. This book gives off such a classic DnD feel, bringing back memories from playing the tabletop version of this game “back in the day”.” – Catrin Russell, Author of The Prime Series
“The three-headed ogre, and Jamie Edmundson, of course, spins a fantastical humorous tale, solves a mystery and has you laughing along the way. Og-Grim-Dog shows in a light and entertaining way that everyone is different and everyone has their place in the world, one simply has to find it. My only question is, when IS the next story, when does tomorrow come and how long do I have to wait! I’m waiting…” – Goodreads Review

If you’ve read the first book in the series, you will know more or less what to expect here. Albeit, things get darker as Og-Grim-Dog finds himself working for the Dark Lord! It is definitely more morally grey than the first book, but all done in such a tongue-in-cheek way we could never hate the mc for his vicious deeds. It had some genuine laugh out loud moments for me, maybe even more so than book 1, and again there are several parodies that the reader might notice. Scratches a funny bone and definitely makes me want to return to the Flayed Testicles for more!
And so, I have spent another night (or more…) at the Flayed Testicles, listening to the Landlord as they relay a new story of their past, and I wholeheartedly enjoyed every minute of it!
From the moment a donkey saw its end, this story had me hooked and glued to the pages!
Gone from hero to villain, Og-Grim-Dog tries his luck working as a henchman under the Dark Lord, but things are not quite what they seem, and Og-Grim-Dog finds themselves perhaps a bit deeper into trouble than they first expected.
Just like the first book of the Me Three series, Og-Grim-Dog and The Dark Lord is quick-witted, fast-paced, and utterly entertaining! The writing is clean, the descriptions and events suit the story perfectly, and the characters (Og-Grim-Dog especially) are fantastic!
I will definitely continue reading this series!
Meanwhile…back at the Tavern. Time for a dark tale. When an ogre isn’t allowed to be a hero, what does an ogre do? Goes to work for the Dark Lord of course!
They just find out things aren’t.quite.right with this Lord, even if Dog’s in it because of the food. Many who work for the Dark Lord are just out to get him. When they are asked to kidnap the Princess of the Jade Throne, so evil will take that over, they find out being the bad guy isn’t all that’s cracked up to be.
So, what are they going to do next? This ought to be fun! Jamie Edmundson has a really amazing mind, a flare for a good story, and the ability to make you laugh so hard you might forget it’s a story. I have been so captivated by Og,Grim and Dog and how they are three in one,and just what that might bring to the next tale. Highly recommended 5/5
[I received a copy of this book from the author and voluntarily read and reviewed it]
Og-Grim-Dog has tried two different roles, he’s been a hero, and was banned from that life. What’s an ogre to do? Why, he applies for the job of henchman to the Dark Lord. Is Og-Grim- Dog cut out for the life of a villain? Og-Grim-Dog gets a job as a henchman for the Dark Lord, and other than an unlimited supply of food, he will quickly realize that there is something amiss. Og-Grim-Dog, and his friends, will uncover a plot much bigger than one evil, and somewhat crazy man with delusions of grandeur, can be responsible for implementing, or planning for that matter.
Fascinating, and hysterically funny characters. Unexpected twists in the plot with a little mystery, and maybe the beginnings of a monopoly(?). Fantastic, and funny read I hated to put this book down. I loved this book, and I look forward to more in this series.
I voluntarily reviewed a complimentary copy of this book.
Og-Grim-Dog is back in his tavern and many a client has turned out for story night and this time he has people even coming from further afield as his storytelling is catching on and the recorder is there right at the front waiting for what our ogre calls a dark tale. He recounts how they had felt when banished from Mer Khazer and ending up in the swamp and feeling as though there was nowhere that would accept a three headed ogre until they were invited to become the Dark Lord’s henchman. They met Lilith his assistant and were given a tour of the Fell Towers and sent on their first assignment to prove their ability and loyalty, and immediately both Og and Grim were not feeling good about the evil demanded they carry out but Dog was won over once offered a free room with full board, having fallen in love with the refectory and it’s excellent eat as much as you like food. But when sent on a more demanding assignment whereby they were to kidnap the Princess of the Kuthenian Empire so that the dark lord could wed her and thus be in line for the Jade throne they were even more unhappy. Turns out that many who were supposedly working for the dark lord were out to betray him and our ogre debated whether to expose what was happening or just bide their time. In the end it turned out that it was as much of a revolution against the Empire as it was against the Director of Dungeoneering whereby the constitution was amended to recognize dwarves, elves and halflings as racial groups, with the same rights as humans at least in Mer Khazer. Og-Grim-Dog had tried both the life of a hero and now that of a villain and it was agreed upon that neither was found suitable for them so what’s next for Og-Grim-Dog I wonder? I just love the way our hero’s three heads come with their own characters, and the way they discuss among themselves any issue before taking a decision which will impact them all. I am eagerly anticipating book 3 as these fun stories full of adventure with our ogre hero and his friends are becoming totally addictive.
Although Og-Grim-Dog go to the dark side and do some terrible things,it’s still filled with action,humor and great characters.I had a review copy and it was great.
