Peter David’s Sir Apropos of Nothing series is a comic fantasy that turns the genre’s conventions upside down. The protagonist, Apropos, is no noble knight — he’s a scheming, self-interested son of a prostitute who wants nothing to do with quests and heroism but keeps getting dragged into them anyway.
Four books were published between 2001 and 2016: Sir Apropos of Nothing, The Woad to Wuin, Tong Lashing, and Pyramid Schemes. The punning titles match the series’ irreverent tone, which skewers fantasy cliches while building a surprisingly rich world.
