"OG-Grim-Dog and the War of the Dead" deserves nothing less than a solid 5-star rating! This book took the series to a whole new level of darkness and action that left me thoroughly gripped from start to finish. The unexpected deaths kept me on the edge of my seat, and although they were heart-wrenching, they added a layer of realism and intensity to the story. The way the world around Og-Grim-Dog disintegrated added to the apocalyptic atmosphere and made their survival all the more thrilling to witness. I can't wait to dive into the fourth and final installment of this incredible series to see how it all concludes. "Fight the Dead, Fear the Ogre" indeed!

This was straight up an adventure story without much in the way of satire and humor of the previous two novellas.  It was much more dramatic with a good bit of tragedy.  It was still rather good, though, and it carried the story of the characters on very well.  It stayed true to the characterizations that were built up before and, although the tone wasn't lighthearted, it read with the similar ease as the others.  I'm not sure that this is what I'd have wanted to read from the beginning, but the first two novellas did a good job of making me care enough about the characters to really get into it.
