Read Guards! Guards! By Terry Pratchett, you won't be disappointed
i don’t like fantasy books where someone is like ‘but i don’t want to be king!’ and their gandalf-figure says ‘ahhh… but that makes you Super Qualified’ listen putting people in positions of leadership simply because their heart is pure is no way to run an empire!!! i would rather stick with someone who was kind of evil but knew how to run the national health service, not Michael the Virtuous who is really aces at slaying dragons but a bit rubbish when it comes to international trading partners, thankyouverymuch.
