Rendition Toward Books Villains by Necessity

With the banishment of Evil from the realms, the final victory of Good is assured-unless a few stalwart antiheroes can save the world from a serious and potentially fatal imbalance. First novelist Forward explores the complications that arise from a surfeit of "goodness" in the world. The result is a skewed version of the epic fantasy that features an assassin, a thief, an evil sorceress, a dark knight, and an implacable druid as the villains-turned-heroes who must restore the delicate balance of opposing forces before their world disappears in a blinding flash of Goodness and Light. -- Library Journal Forward's first novel gives the concept of the balance between good and evil a most ingenious twist: What if good were so totally triumphant that it became a worse danger than evil, and a band of unemployed evil characters had to go on a desperate quest to find the means of putting the saving bit of evil back into the world? The result of this twist is an almost straightforward quest tale, with numerous well-drawn characters (including a centaur who starts off as a secret agent for good and eventually joins the side of evil), great ingenuity about magic, very creditable world-building, and considerable wit. Although bearing its share of first-novel flaws, it has many more virtues, which include an underlying, serious examination of the good-evil dichotomy that is the basis of so many role-playing games. -- Roland Green

Discuss Of Books Villains by Necessity

I enjoyed this a lot. It was not the most well written book (OMG yep we get it they're evil) but it was interesting, unique, and funny. It felt like a premise for an RPG game. Pretty decent audiobook too.I think I'll be reading this again in the future :)

Truly awful and simplistic. I picked it up hoping for a reasonably intelligent take on the relationship between "good" and "evil."I wasn't expecting Kant or Spinoza but I didn't even get Moorcock. I didn't make it past the first 50 pages before tossing it aside in disgust.PS - I'm adding it to my shelves now (Sept 2011) because I just saw it on the new Recommendations page that they added to the site. Until now I had mercifully forgotten it.Thanks, GoodReads!

Have you ever wondered what happens when the epic battle of good (light) versus evil (light) is won? Is it all as peaceful and loving and happy as typical stories make it out to be? This book says no! "It all goes to pot", according to Sam the assassin and Arcie the master thief. Ultimately, it is conflict that drives progress in the world and without it it begins to stagnate.This is an enjoyable story, terrible prose and all. All questions of morality and ethics aside it entertains in a fun way

This is such a fun book, what a shame it has been out of print for so long. I hope more people can discover this story. Absolutely in my reread list! Sure it's tropey and predictable but it's kind of the point of the tale. The characters are all fun and likeable, even if they are murdering villains (except one idiot six-limbed bungler, but he's still cute). Highly recommended.

2.5 / 5Villains by Necessity is a fantasy novel by Eve Forward. Apparently, it is the author's debut novel and it shows. The word that can best describe my feelings after having read that book is disappointment. I was disappointed because the premise was great and promising but its execution failed in so many ways that by the mid-point it was just tiring. I think the main problem of the book was the characters. All of them feel like caricatures, often predictably two-dimensional. The

An excellent book I recommend it to anyone looking for a great read that you cant put down. I hope they come out with a Kindle version soon so I can add that to my collection and can keep my hardcover on my shelf. I also would love to see a sequel to Villains by necessity. there is so much more that could be told for the story and Eve is a true storyteller, who's stories pull you in and make you feel for the characters involved.
