The Empire stands triumphant.

For twenty years, the Dread Empress has ruled over the lands that were once the Kingdom of Callow, but behind the scenes of this golden age, threats to the empire are rising.

The nobles of the Wasteland weave their plots behind pleasant smiles while rebellion stirs beyond Peren Woods, for dreams of crowns were buried in shallow graves. The greatest danger of all lies to the west, where the First Prince of Procer restored order at last: her people sundered, she ponders if a crusade might not be the way to secure her reign.

Yet none of this matters, for in the heart of the conquered lands, the most dangerous man alive sat across an orphan girl and offered her a knife.

Her name is Catherine Foundling, and she has a plan.

I love the world and the system of Names.

Main character is a female, snarky, morally questionable underdog, and very enjoyable.

love both the MC and the lore

The audiobook of A Practical Guide to Evil is a deeply engaging experience that really brings the story’s rich world to life. The depth of the setting stands out —the places, monsters, cultures, and overall worldbuilding feel vast, detailed, and carefully constructed. It’s the kind of fantasy world that feels like it exists beyond the main story, which makes listening even more immersive.

The characters are another strong highlight. The narrator does a great job capturing their personalities, especially Catherine and her evolving emotional journey. Following her moral path is like an emotional rollercoaster—there are moments where you understand her choices, moments where you question them, and moments where you’re not even sure what the “right” choice would have been. That tension keeps the story compelling from start to finish.

One important thing to be aware of is that the main character is not a traditional “good guy.” In fact, the story constantly challenges the idea of simple good and evil. Instead, most characters exist in shades of gray, with some leaning darker than others. Catherine’s path is especially complex, and her decisions are often driven by survival, necessity, and ambition rather than clear moral ideals.

Her journey can often be summarized by the idea that the road to hell is paved with good intentions. That theme runs strongly through the story and gives it a thoughtful, sometimes unsettling depth.

Overall, the audiobook is highly enjoyable if you like morally complex characters, strong worldbuilding, and a story that constantly challenges traditional fantasy expectations.

Not Your Typical Fantasy

It's a solid story; I bought it because it was recommended as an alternative to J.V. Simms' Empress. Unfortunately, it's not my thing at all. It's to dry, and lacks of humor.
