The beginning of the saga of Erevis Cale. The story's a usual stereotyped 'kill-the-demon' tale but the characters, Cale and his halfling help, make this highly enjoyable...
Thoroughly enjoyed this book. One long novel, as opposed to the previous book, but Kemp did a decent job.

The gore factor was a bit higher than I was expecting. Lots of graphic brains and body parts going every which way. Liked the fights and the demon was a pretty good adversary.

And I like Mask. I am finding him to be an enjoyable godling to read about, even tangentially.
