Representaion Concering Books Hunted (The Iron Druid Chronicles #6)
For a two-thousand-year-old Druid, Atticus O’Sullivan is a pretty fast runner. Good thing, because he’s being chased by not one but two goddesses of the hunt—Artemis and Diana—for messing with one of their own. Dodging their slings and arrows, Atticus, Granuaile, and his wolfhound Oberon are making a mad dash across modern-day Europe to seek help from a friend of the Tuatha Dé Danann. His usual magical option of shifting planes is blocked, so instead of playing hide-and-seek, the game plan is . . . run like hell.Crashing the pantheon marathon is the Norse god Loki. Killing Atticus is the only loose end he needs to tie up before unleashing Ragnarok—AKA the Apocalypse. Atticus and Granuaile have to outfox the Olympians and contain the god of mischief if they want to go on living—and still have a world to live in.
Also contains the novella "Two Ravens and One Crow" (#4.5).

I really want to take Atticus home and keep him. Even if he is over two thousand years old. This is such a good series. In this episode (number six) our two Druids really demonstrate their amazing powers, defeating Dark Elves, Olympic Gods, a Manticore, assorted fae and some really nasty sea serpents amongst many other weird and wonderful creatures. The book is action packed but still has time to be funny, usually when Oberon the wolfhound has things to say.In my review of the last book IAtticus is PIE Well.... everyone else liked this one the most, but I liked it a little less. There was even a part that I skimmed. Still see 4 stars though, because Oberon was just as funny:"That is a noble idea, though I think it far to generous," Jupiter said. "Once a decade should be sufficient.""I would rather be too generous than not in such cases.""As you wish."[One day, Atticus was amazed to discover that when Jupiter said, "As you wish," what he really meant was "I love you."]*for those
Another excellent entry in the series. The druids are hunted by a pantheon of gods (thanks for that Bacchus) and seem to find themselves in some pretty tight spots. The biggest problem it seems is that some of the gods seem to be in a smite first, ask questions later kind of mood. Oh, and said gods are immortal. Counter attack game plan out the window. Atticus, Oberon & Granuille have no choice but to run and try to survive the onslaught. I think I forgot to mention that Loki has escaped his
Hunted is Kevin Hearnes 2013 addition to his Iron Druid series, and it features Atticus and Granailes European vacation!sort of not really Heres the thing - Atticus, Granuaile and telepathic WONDERDOG! Oberon are still trying to get Granuaile set up as a full scale, card carrying DRUID!! but because of the evil and tool-like machinations of the Roman god Bacchus, and help from an assortment of other mythological and occult antagonists, they cannot jump to Tir na nOg. Instead they are limited to
This book is not terrible, it's just not very good. We get the POV of Granuaile in small doses, but I did not like it. As a secondary character she works fine, but when Hearne tries to write from inside her head it becomes very apparent it's a man writing as a female. He attempts to not come off sexist by making her masculine and aggressive. Which, instead, comes off as pandering to women. The whole "I am woman, hear me roar" thing is really over played these days. Can't we just have a strong
This series is still fun, but it's not my favorite. The last three books especially have been mostly action, with Atticus, Granuaile, and Oberon on the run from the Greek and Roman pantheons. They have to stay alive while trying to figure out how to reach safety, who is passing information from their side to the Olympians, and how they can make peace so they can all just be left alone. A couple of things have me rounding this up from 3.5 stars, even though non-stop action isn't my thing. The
A new adventure, a new demon and a new druid?! Can someone turn this series into a movie because i can picture it so clearly in my head. The writing is descriptive and unique and as i listened to the series the accents and different voices Luke Daniels uses are wonderful and make the story really come to life!
