If you have any interest in fantasy literature any more, I suggest having a look at a new book by Jacqueline Carey, author of the Kushiel trilogy. It's called Banewreaker, and it's the first half of an epic fantasy story told from the viewpoint of the "bad guys". It really left me wondering *who* was on the Side of Right in this story--the firstborn demigod who cut off his half of the world from his younger brother because younger brother (alias Big Bad Dark Lord) refused to take away his gift of sexual desire from mortals, or the Big Bad Dark Lord who hopes his sister still cares about him.
