Druid Atticus O'Sullivan has battled vengeful Norse thunder gods before, and with a little help from a Navajo trickster god Coyote,he dupes them into thinking they chopped him up in the Arizona dessert. The Navajo Coyote is not above his own mischief and Atticus is battling for survival from an unlikely source.
I wish more than the first novel in this series were available from the library as an audiobook - the audio rendition of the first book is GREAT, especially the dog...

This entry is much, much heavier in magical theory and practical application than the previous two. Thankfully, Hearne does not get overly impressed with himself and yammer on and on for pages at a time. He does an excellent job in balancing the “instructional” parts with the action we’ve come to know and love.
This series is smart, funny, full of colourful characters (and monsters...) & well researched with its' take on cultures from around the world. Oberon remains da dawg, keeping Atticus in line in exchange for a few sausages. Highly recommend, start at the beginning to get the most from this ongoing story.
Atticus is back… Atticus is back! And just as snarky and bad-ass as he’s been before. Same sausage loving hound offering counterpoint to the human perspective, same refreshing, interesting mythology based romp. I particularly love the glossary of pronunciations in the front of the book – different language and culture every time, so far. Kevin Hearne, you are a brilliant and funny man, with an excellent appreciation of Myth. Keep writing!
