A man wakes up with no memory after what seems to be some sort of spell gone wrong. Soon, he realises that he must be in a dark wizard's lair, although he has no clue how he got there... unless the dark wizard is him.

So begins Dreadful, a magical tale of a dark wizard with amnesia trying to figure out why he feels like saving the royal princess he kidnapped in the first place. This was a fun read, and the (mostly) lighthearted escape I needed from very busy days. I wasn't a fan of some choices employed here, but I did appreciate the attempt at introducing more serious topics. The reflection on identity and making choices was particularly interesting to me, even though at times it felt just a tad too easy to the detriment of depth.

I don't think this will end up being particularly memorable, but it was a fun, easy read.
