Solid little fantasy read that was a lot of fun, even a riot at times.
Our protagonist ends up going on a long and pretty wild adventure when he tries to rob a knight, also a handmaiden to the goddess of death, Dalgatha. Full of baudy humor, honor on the part of the knight, and a wild cast of additional characters, this took twists and turns I didn't anticipate.
Decent read, had to pick it up a few times, as it didn't hold my interest the way I'd hoped it would, but am glad I read it - solid middle of the line for me, but folks who enjoy more traditional fantasy (middle earth, Tolkein and Martin type of stuff) might enjoy more than I did!
