A really good, wholly contained short story that takes place between Tricked and... the one after Tricked. I haven't read Tricked yet, but I had no problems following this novella at all. The author's website does say though, that events in this novella are pretty important in the next full-length book. Atticus has to pay the piper for events that took place in Hammered and the Morrigan acts as a mediator and facilitator when it comes times to face down Odin himself and answer for his actions. But things are interrupted when someone tries to assassinate Atticus and the mortal enemies must work together to chase down the assassin. After a rather exciting chase, the action ends rather abruptly, but it is an excellent novella. I listened to this one on audio and once again was stuck with Christopher Raglan as the narrator; fortunately I didn't have to listen to his bad Clint Eastwood impersonation since the story didn't involve Leif, but I was stuck with his idea of Oberon, which I've realised sounds like an impersonation of Peter Faulk playing Columbo with partial facial paralysis. Curses to publishing houses everywhere that restrict audiobook editions by country. Seriously... a pox on your ledger books.
There's the usual fun mix of likable characters, action, mayhem, and humor. Plus Hearne knows his mythologies, and he's one of the rare urban fantasists to use the material with respect to the sources.

HTML:Atticus O??Sullivan is back in an all-new, action-packed, laugh-out-loud novella from the author of The Iron Druid Chronicles. Two-thousand-year-old Atticus may have outwitted and outfought everyone from Odin to Bacchus, but in this eBook original, he??s about to discover what comes around when you go around messing with gods. Six years into the training of his beautiful apprentice, Granuaile, a large crow swoops down and transforms into none other than the Morrigan, a goddess who insists that Atticus come with her at once. He must leave his apprentice behind, along with his Irish wolfhound, Oberon??and he must also leave his sword. The Morrigan has always taken extreme pleasure in pronouncing the Druid??s mortal danger and imminent doom, so the fact that she won??t reveal the purpose of their journey makes him very nervous. Of course, any time the Celtic Chooser of the Slain drops in unannounced, it??s never good. When she does let slip that she??ll be saving his life in the near future, Atticus is left to wonder . . . will he soon be giving his legions of enemies something to crow about? Includes a preview of Kevin Hearne??s highly anticipated new novel in The Iron Druid Chronicles, Trapped! 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.??? Aucune description trouvée dans une bibliothèque |
