In the company of ogres

Never Dead Ned has died dozens of times yet each time gets resurrected. He's not very good at staying alive for long. Then Ned gets assigned to be the next commander of Ogre Company, the place where the Legion's rejects get assigned and it's full of ogres, elves, goblins, sirens, humans, etc. The past several commanders of Ogre Company seemed to die mysterious (and sudden) deaths too. It doesn't look good for Ned. And then when he finally learns why he keeps getting resurrected, he's got a real motive for staying alive. But Ned's got enemies including a cursed wizard and a demon lord.

This is a comic fantasy and has it's amusing moments but too much of the story suffers from a lack of action and the plot is way too listless for the bulk of the story. Then finally, somewhere well past the mid-point, things pick up and the ending is much more fun and entertaining. Very light reading.
