So much liberal slop in fantasy stories. Mr. Dogood kills the bad king, then becomes the good king. Gimme some peasant revolts or something. Ones that aren't portrayed as some evil murderous mob

    If you want pleasant revolts why not try Abercrombie's age of madness trilogy. The revolt happens in the second book.

    Technically it's the third trilogy in the the first law universe, so you can read the first law trilogy first, and then the standalone trilogy (named because the three books aren't connected to each other but set the world building for the age madness).

    There's no good kings here, everyone is different stains of bad. And anyone who tries to be good doesn't last long.

    Many content warnings for the series though, SA, graphic violence, graphic everything really.
