About this listen
In a world where "human" is only the beginning, and people can become something more, some will rise above, and become superheroes. But for every hero, there must be a villain. What drives someone to become a supervillain, and take on the heroes of the world? What would the life of someone who has accepted that they are no longer part of "normal" society and devotes themselves to their own dreams and goals be like? What if a supervillain decided to write his memoirs, and speak about all these things?
This is the memoir of the Supervillain known to the world as Iceblade. It chronicles his achievements and his failures, his loves and his losses. Learn about the theft of the Mona Lisa, the subjugation of Lady Victory, and the slaughter of the Holy Order of the Word. Hear for the first time about the death of Bytegeist. All from the point of view of the man himself.
The setting is a world of superheroes and sci-fi, and our main character, who may not be the most powerful out there, but is willing to do whatever it takes to win. No matter the cost. He is not a hero. He is not an anti-hero. He is not a vigilante. He is a villain, and knows what he is. He is amoral but ethical.
Rated R: Definite language, violence, gore, sex, and all the horrible things that can happen in the world. If you have triggers, consider this your warning.

in this truly unique and new piece of literature. the villian is a villian and yet you find yourself rooting for him. he makes sense and doesn't pretend to moral superiority. he's a survivor and is good at what he does. he is more human than any hero and thus, more relatable(isn't that just something to consider?!).
i won't pretend I didn't cringe a little at some pf the choices he made and what he did when he got (justafiably) angry. but overall it was a fantastic story with interesting characters, twisty turny plot, a kick-ass set of powers and a katana anybody would want.
looking forward to the next one. hopefully it will be more of the same!
p.s. I was given a free copy of this book at my request and have left this honest review of my own accord and volition.
An interesting thing.

Oh, he certantly do Villainous things. But only ever to people who richly deserves it. (Casualties aside)
Which makes him closer to an anti-hero than a real Villain at times. (Even the people who goes against him that he kills is somehow evil, rather than rightious. And he clearly HAS morals.)
I also love the back-story and logically slow build-up. He's not overpowered like many protagonists in this type stories is, and has to struggle to overcome hardships. (Tho at times it feels like things are going a bit TOO smooth for him, but at least the author makes it seem logical.)
That aside, the story IS truly brilliant. And I will be checking out the sequels.
Great Story

Really enjoyed the fact that this was lots of bite-sized stories. Enjoyed the majority of the memoirs, but please do take note that this is NSFW (Not Safe For Work) ... Unless like me you wear headphones and can be discreet about it ;D
This book was given to me for free at my request and I provided this voluntary review.

That aside is enjoyed this book. Good action and an interesting character, plus it's nice to James e Super Villain who is actually evil and not a 'good guy who made bad choices'.
Sex aside I'd recommend this to fans of Super Hero stories.
Too much sex.

The main character has no redeeming qualities, he says not all villains are evil but he actually is pretty awful.
Narrator is ok but I had to listen on a much higher speed.
Basically how to be a supervillain
