4.0
This book was recommended to me by Author and GoodReads-Friend [a:Thomas Cardin|6917657|Thomas Cardin|http://d.gr-assets.com/authors/1364540878p2/6917657.jpg] (Author of the Vorallon Series), and was available at the kindle lending library, so I gave it a shot.
I am pleasantly surprised by the quality of the book. The world was well written, the characters, especially Fergus and his horse and dog (yes, his horse and dog are characters!), are memorable. There is also some bawdy humor and beer brewing, the latter for the first time in any fantasy book I have read to date.
I'll have to second Thomas' review in that the exchanges with the villians are a bit short. It might be intended, to show that fergus can make short work of everyone if he so desires, but it still kind of hurt the suspense of the encounters between them.
All in all, I consider this a good, if not great, book. I know at least one friend I will recommend this book to, and if you like fantasy, humor and a bit of violence, you might want to pick this book up.
