DESCRIPTION:
For Atticus, the jury’s still out on whether the wily old coot will be an asset in the epic battle with Norse god Loki—or merely a pain in the arse. Even with the help of the witch Laksha, Granuaile may be facing a crushing defeat. Neil Gaiman’s American Gods meets Jim Butcher’s Harry Dresden.”—SFFWorld “Celtic mythology and an ancient Druid with modern attitude mix it up in the Arizona desert in this witty new fantasy series.”—Kelly Meding, author of Tempest “Atticus is a strong modern hero with a long history and the wit to survive in the twenty-first century. A snappy narrative voice.”—Library Journal, on Hounded “Outrageously fun.”—The Plain Dealer, on Hounded “Superb plenty of quips and zap-pow-bang fighting.”—Publishers Weekly (starred review), on Hounded. And Owen has some catching up to do. NEW YORK TIMES BESTSELLER • For nearly two thousand years, only one Druid has walked the Earth—Atticus O’Sullivan, the Iron Druid, whose sharp wit and sharp sword have kept him alive as he’s been pursued by a pantheon of hostile deities.

A three-person POV novel is asking for trouble but Kevin Hearne pulls it off again I found out about the Iron Druid Chronicles last year and dove in deeply. I worked my way through the first few books in as many days and then polished off the rest of the available novels and short stories within a month. As Atticus might warn Oberon after a particularly glutinous meal of sausages. "It's part of a great series, the author never fails to make me" according to BrittanyPepper. It's part of a great series, the author never fails to make me laugh while I'm reading. There are a few other novels that have a similar premise, but Hearne's is very unique in how he goes about it. Definitely worth your time to read. From his novels to novellas and short stories, they're all great. "Rip-roarin' fantastic!" according to asaskid. My fairly extensive vocabulary is woefully insufficient to describe this series - it is just plain wonderful. Bilbo Baggins is great; Harry Potter is even better, but neither of them can hold a candle to Atticus. Absolutely the best fantasy series ever.
Kevin Hearne has been known to frolic unreservedly with dogs. He lives with his wife and daughter in a wee, snug cottage. . He is probably frolicking right now and posing to his dog such timeless rhetorical classics as “Who’s a good boy?” and “Who wants a snack?”
From Booklist *Starred Review* The seventh book in the Iron Druid Chronicles starts with a handy summary of the story so far, allowing the uninitiated reader to jump right in. As Atticus is gearing up to fight with Loki, perhaps with the help of the archdruid, his former apprentice is off trying to save her father from a malevolent sorcerer’s spirit that has taken up residence in his body. Plenty of action, humor, and mythology keep this book fun and interesting. --Rebecca Gerber . Dickson’s Dragon Knight stories. Atticus has managed to train an apprentice who has now become a full-fledged Druid in her own right, and he has awoken his former teacher, an archdru
