Gallows humor brought to adventure fantasy. This absolutely hooked me. Recommended for fans of Glen Cook and The Black Company.

Everything but the epilogue gets 5 stars, but I can't forgive the author's choice at the end. There would never be a moment of tension for me in the rest of the series, if consequences don't stick.

Called it quits at chapter 31. Unrealistic character reactions, and the main character's development arc looks like an Evil Knievel ramp at the edge of the Grand Canyon- flat, a little up, then straight down. The protagonist's personality was so grating I couldn't bear to continue.

Great narration for the audiobook, though.

Even better the second time around!

A tale of strange immortality. Layers that Frank Herbert fans will love.
