Just want to check with you and make sure this works, the entire book is about the half-goblin emperor (tough to figure that one out eh...) who rules an elf country/city.
If that works then General Grodd defeated if not i'll find another one :)

Mpauli: If your reading an anthology that is well over 100 pages but only one of the stories meets a challenge requirement would that be accepted?

You can enter the two books, that you entered on May 3rd. The first counts regularly towards the April villain challenge.

I want to start the show but I'm not sure if it spoils the books. I always try to do a book before the show/movie.
