I'm sorry I have to give it a four. This book is basic entertainment of an adult nature.  I'm not going to insult Mr. Brown and call it any of the kitschy titles for fantasy that seem to abound.  That usually means it's a chick book.  This is not.  The mythos he invokes here is a revised Scandinavian.  Think Odin and Fenris and Loki.  Add in Hecate and some other twists and things start hopping.I liked the main character.  He's a thinker and not afraid of a challenge.The story was a little shorter than I expected.  Almost dropped it to a three because of that, but the writing is good enough for the four, as is the editing.  And it is really nice to read a story not written down for YA.  The style and nature is comparable to Niall Teasdale or Elliot Kay.  Quite good, unabashedly adult, but not in your face about it.
