The Folly of the World is a multilayered quest story. The protagonists are criminals and killers. Violence is a dominant theme. The fantasy genre is dominated by friendly magic-makers; dragons are the chief villains. In this twist on fantasy themes, nobody is likable. I’m not sure the chief characters are even entirely sane. The quest takes them on adventures that the author paints in rich detail, but the novel’s sense of nihilism and futility might turn off readers who want their fantasy to feature comforting unicorns.
