In a style that one reviewer has likened to ‘Monty Python meets Terry Pratchett’, the author continues his chronicles of the history of the Dogsbreath family with the exploits of the earliest known ancestor of the current Ivor Dogsbreath.
Ivor the Dogsbreath, so called because of his rampant halitosis which he contracted at the age of five is an itinerant tinker who with the aid of a manky old cart, which is a family heirloom, plies his trade between the settlements of the plains. ‘Persuaded’ to team up with a giant barbarian warrior, a foul-mouthed little dwarf and a gay elf he sets off on a quest of vengeance and to rescue the Princess Poolipong from the clutches of the Dark Lord of Cumquat.
Contains strong language and adult humour.

" [...] But as for killing the Dark Lord, well there you are on your own. Risk is one thing, suicide is something else. [...]"
Keven Shevels has a great sense of humour. His novel "A Song of Ice and Haddock" made me laugh. It was very funny. The lines of some of the characters are so excellent that you can't stop laughing. A perfect story to improve your mood.
The author here perfectly combines fantasy with comedy.
The only downside for me were the names of the characters. It was hard for me to pronounce and remember them.
In "A Song of Ice and Haddock" you will find a story of revenge of one character on another character for the murder of his older brother. The second theme is building friendship and finding companions to fight.
Here I met, among others: Colon the Barbarian,
Dark Lord of Cumquat, elf Goldblum, Ivor Dogsbreath and dwarf Fudgepacker. And I almost forgot about a certain Red Witch.
I liked the behaviour of Colon the Barbarian, who wanted to avenge his older brother at all costs. He set off on a very difficult and dangerous expedition. Will the formed team cope with the cunning Dark Lord of Cumquat? It is worth persevering until the end of this story.
With this book, good fun is guaranteed.
