Hugh Cook: The Wordsmiths and the Warguild (Paperback, 1987, Corgi)

Review of 'The Wordsmiths and the Warguild' on 'Goodreads'

This book is available as a free e-book on the author's website: zenvirus.com

This is my first Hugh Cook book. I was very pleasantly surprised.
This is grown up Fantasy, without the fluff of fairy tales.

The protagonist Tagura reminds me of the Discworld's Rincewind but more realistic and without The Luggage to bail him out.
He is an anti hero in an anti fantasy adventure.

I was really disappointed to find that not a single Hugh Cook book is available on Audible.com.
