This is a new feature I developed where each month we will look at our favorite – the best – series in a genre or topic. The topic here, by my definition, is a series with characters who are Druids. I tried for series where the Druid is a main character. I found that druids […]
I’m sure it’s probably been asked frequently but, what inspired you to write this series and use mostly Irish gods as opposed to other gods (Greek/Roman/Viking)? Well, I’m mostly Irish (a bit of a UK mutt) so it’s at least somewhat my heritage, and plenty of other people write about the Olympians and the […]
I am so thrilled to finally have had a chance to read the Iron Druid Chronicles. Thank you so much to Kevin Hearne for his participation in the Read-along and all my friends and reviewers. No doubt since Scourged is the final book there will be some spoilers. Urban fantasy is a favorite. Usually, […]
Besieged is a large collection and after Staked I wasn’t quite ready to leave this world or wait for the next audiobook, so I decided to download this collection. Brilliant, funny, sad, and interesting, I delighted in these tales shared around a campfire. Atticus, Granuaile, and Oberon are enjoying a quiet evening around the campfire at their […]
Three druids. Three adventures. Three magical fae stakes. But all roads lead to Rome. The Iron Druid Chronicles series plot is drawing in tighter and more intense as Atticus and his allies are aligning against Loki and those who have sided him when, in the near future, the crazy god unleashes Ragnarok on earth […]
This may be my favorite of the Iron Druid Chronicles we’ve read thus far! Plot wise it was very satisfying in that we made significant advancement and even had a BIG question answered finally. But for me, I think it was the characters – new and old – that made Shattered so satisfying. Note: […]
Hunted, the sixth installment in the Iron Druid Chronicles, is another exhilarating supernatural thriller that takes readers on a non-stop, action-packed journey. I stopped reading this series mid-way through Tricked and I was happy for an excuse to jump back in. In Hunted, the story picks up immediately after the events of Trapped, where […]
Trapped picks up the story of Atticus and Granuaile twelve years after Tricked and now Granuaile is a full-fledged druid. She really can hold her own as a fighter with a magical staff, and it was exciting to discover her animal forms. She’s become a force to be reckoned with, and it’s a […]
Our favorite 2000 year old druid returns to fight another day. Since he angered every god in Hammered and is being hunted by many, he decides the only way to live without worry is to fake his death. So with the help of the Navajo trickster Coyote, he, Oberon and Granuaile, his apprentice, manage […]
Having read the entire Iron Druid Chronicles before, this is my second time listening to Hammered. While I don’t give away any spoilers, I will note that my feelings about this one were definitely altered having listened to it and the entire series previously. That said, I actually enjoyed Hammered more this time around. Making good on his promise […]
