You tyrant, you!
11 September 2014 
This week over at the Fantasy Review Barn’s Tough Travelling the fantasy is tyrants. Doesn’t it just give you the shivers!
Anyway. Because I’m actually out and about this week my post will be a very quick post with no graphics or write up. Simply put. I want to take part but it’s going to be minimalist!
Obviously Sauron from Tolkien’s Lord of the Rings. Sorry but I had to get in a mention.
Similarly, he who shall not be named from JKRowlings Harry Potter.
The Winter Queen from The Chronicles of Narnia by C S Lewis? She was a maniac after all and turning people into stone is generally frowned upon.
The Queen of Hearts in Alice in Wonderland by Lewis Carroll. She got up to some antics. Not least of all wanting to chop everyone’s heads off!
The King of the Dead, who plays a leading role in Mark Lawrence’s Broken Empire.
Kate Niven. From Gillian Philip’s Rebel Angels.
Mistborn by Sanderson. The Lord Tyrant! I rest my case
Apologies for the brevity and any typos. Also apols for not having graphics or proper links. Normal service will resume shortly!
Books and travelling with Lynn 
” Normal service will resume shortly!”
Looking forward to that Lynn!
Love the Queen of Hearts pick! 🙂 And Lord Tyrant!
This was a solid list even without graphics or write ups – nicely done! The Winter Queen is an excellent choice. She totally ruined Turkish Delight for me…that’s pure evil right there.
Great picks!
Like you I straight away thought of Sauron, Voldermort and the white witch. I did also wonder if Smaug the dragon from The Hobbit would count too. Currently lying on a bad of gold but back in the day ate a lot of people and/or drove them away!
Love the picks, especially the Queen of Hearts and The Winter Queen. They weren’t the first to come to my mind even though I have reread those books dozens of times.
Ah, great to see Alice in Wonderland’s Queen of Hearts. I always like to see the classics included 🙂
Lord Tyrant sounds interesting. I must get around to actually reading some Sanderson.
A good list and happy to see Sanderson included.
Ohh the Queen of Hearts is a good one! 😉
