Have you read any of these books? Who are some of your favorite fantasy villains? Are you taking part in Wyrd & Wonder this year? As always, thanks for visiting my blog and perhaps even commenting down below!
I've read Dracula and the Lord of the Rings series; I have Mexican Gothic on my TBR this year list. There is nothing better than a great villain.
