Finally finished Monster Hunter Vendetta late last night (sad, I know, I've had it since it hit shelves... stupid life getting in the way...)  All I can say is that Mr. Correia is quickly becoming one of my all time favorite authors, and he's only got two books out.  There were a few points where I simply hated him for what he was doing to his characters, which only means that they're insanely believable characters, and that I was able to build up quite a bit of sympathy for them.  (Thankfully it works out by the end, mostly, yet still leaves plenty open for more books.  Hooray!)

Like I've said before, if you haven't read them yet, get your hands on them and get prepared to be blown away.
