YMMV / The Monster of Elendhaven

• Magnificent Bastard: Florian Leickenbloom saw his entire family die due to the cruel actions of the city of Elendhaven during a plague and concocted a scheme to take his ultimate revenge. Becoming an accountant to the city's elite, Florian carefully manipulates them into bleeding the city dry all while playing as a naive and innocent victim. Florian, with the help of his assistant/lover Johann, helps in the creation of a new plague to destroy the city for its ills, even skillfully deducing when a mage hunter is onto him and with his dying breath, Florian transfers his magic to Johann allowing his beloved to be able to live and be free.
• Squick: The book is very graphic with its descriptions of the gross awfulness of the city of Elendhaven as well as the description of what the plague does to people, with the blisters and bloating it causes.
