RE: The Hero of Their Own Story: Making Your Villain Unforgettable

The best antagonist I have ever experienced in fiction is Mellisandre from the Kushiel's Legacy trilogy by Jacqueline Carey. She is HORRIFIC, but so interesting and deep.
If you choose to pursue that series ... be warned, it is very adult fiction, but it has such great storytelling and incredibly memorable characters.
It would make a crazy good game, or TV series, but i is the sort of the thing that probably sits best hidden amid thousands of pages of detailed descriptions.
I also do very much like it when the antagonist has a change of heart, or is not the actual root cause, and joins forces with the party to destroy the greater evil.

Now I'm intrigued. I don't care if it's soft-core porn. The story matters more to me.
It's one of those? Now I have to read it.
Absolutely classic.
Its WAY more than that - you'll understand if you read a synopsis. :P
Just read the Wikipedia page. Sacred Prostitutes, Angels, Alternate History, it checks an awful lot of boxes for me. Gonna have to look into finding a copy of at least the first trilogy
It is pretty widely available. The first trilogy is the best one. The world building is outstanding though, the whole book(s) are. Hope you enjoy it!
