"Whose turn is it to do the cooking?" Sir Branthear asked, as the last tent peg was driven home.

The story is easily understandable by someone who's never touched a David Eddings book, too, making it the best of both worlds. Although those people should really be ashamed of themselves, and rectify that situation as soon as possible.
I think this book may have knocked A Thousand Nights from the top of my 'Novels by EK Johnston' list, which I didn't think was possible. It's just amazing. A fabulous read.
