The Maleficent Seven by Cameron Johnston

4.0

 This book is for anyone who's a fan of the Suicide Squad comics or movies.
A group of fantastical villains must team up one final time to stop an even greater threat that's sweeping over the land in this very enjoyable single book fantasy.
No need for a multi-book saga here. It gets right to the point, the visceral, bone-breaking, hard-drinking, potty-mouthed grim dark fantasy that it is.
The characters really shine here, almost each and every one of them. I'm torn between which was actually my favorite; the war god? The necromancer? The vampire?
They were all really great.
It has a very open ending, which certainly leaves room for further books. But my hope is that doesn't happen. That way this book can remain as a lightning-in-a-bottle find of the fantasy genre.
Awesome work, Cameron Johnston!
