In my experience, I enjoy short stories by novel authors more than I enjoy the books themselves. This is true for some of my favorite authors. Not so in this case. It feels like this was written before several of the books, and therefore prior to the maturity and polish Hearne has gained thus far. So it's fun, but too easy. ( ) I'm currently listening to Book #6 and now going back to fill in the shorter stories with my precious eyeball-reading time. This is the first one, chronologically, so we're (naturally) missing some of the characters introduced in later books. That's not a criticism - it's just interesting how Atticus is handling things without (say) his apprentice with him. How does one NOT like the Iron Druid series? Having spent many years here in the Phoenix area (near where the author - and main character - reside) it is great to find some references I am able to say I've been there. Reading about a druid, that seems to be pretty 'hip' and into the current times, is a nice change instead of being based on times back during the medieval time periods. Kevin Hearne has mixed in regular mythology from several cultures, and a few weird ones, to combine it into a great read. Looking forward to the next book due this summer, HUNTED. This is just a short story of Atticus O'Sullivan, the last druid on Earth, prior to the start of the Iron Druid series in book one, HOUNDED. sem crÃticas | adicionar uma crÃtica

HTML:From the author of The Iron Druid Chronicles comes a rollicking urban-fantasy adventure featuring Atticus O’Sullivan. Atticus has a history of messing with the gods, and now he’ll have to outfox a deity at her own deadly cat-and-mouse game. When he’s not vanquishing villainous gods or dodging demons, two-thousand-year-old Druid Atticus O’Sullivan can be found behind the counter of Third Eye Books and Herbs in modern-day Tempe, Arizona, literally minding his own business. But when an evil sorcerer—and amateur shoplifter—snatches an ancient Egyptian tome of black magic, The Grimoire of the Lamb, Atticus is not sheepish about pursuing him to the ends of the earth . . . or at least to the Land of the Pharaohs. Unfortunately, Atticus already has enemies in Egypt—including cat goddess Bast, who wants her own book of mischief back from the Druid. In the streets of Cairo, she sends a feline phalanx after Atticus and his Irish wolfhound, Oberon. With fur still flying, Atticus must locate the sorcerer’s secret lair—where he will face killer crocodiles, spooky sarcophagi, and an ancient evil Egyptian who’s determined to order the sacrificial lamb special tonight. Includes an excerpt from Kevin Hearne’s Iron Druid Chronicles novel Hunted! Praise for Kevin Hearne and The Iron Druid Chronicles “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 Three Days to Dead “[Atticus is] a strong modern hero with a long history and the wit to survive in the twenty-first century. . . . A snappy narrative voice . . . a savvy urban fantasy adventure.”—Library Journal, on Hounded. Não foram encontradas descrições de bibliotecas. |
