Continuing a great story, leading us along and allowing us to learn more of the myths and legends, as our heroes continue on their struggle.

Characters and their stories all intertwining..

Actually on my second read now. I have re read the previous ones at least 3 times each by now. They are all just fantastic!!

I only have two other authors series that I am hooked on. James Patterson and Kathy Riechs. But there is no comparing them. I read them for my crime/investigative fix. The Iron Druid, something totally different. I read these for the enjoyment of a fantasy adventure. Fairies, gods, demons, vampires, werewolves. What's not to love!!

I'm not good at tag lines, but they totally need to make this a movie series. I liken it to an adult Harry Potter experience!!!!!

Listen to this book series!! Does not disappoint!

I wouldn't recommend this series to just anybody because you have to be willing to enjoy a story in which mythological creatures, gods and goddesses play a major role. The series, and this book of it, is full of rollicking fun once you are willing to take the plunge.

The druid's dog is my favorite character.

I listened to the entire series performed by Luke Daniels, and his performance is the best I have ever heard. He is ideally suited for this series. I don't know if I would have enjoyed the books as much had I read them myself.

Having read ythe previous Book in the series,(& because its Kevin Hearne!).

I So Greatly appreciate the "Logic & Reasoning " of so many!,it's hard to pin-point.

Luke has dies a Great job!,series wouldn't be the same with him adding "Edge"to each charactors personalities.

Laugh,most definately!

Start from Book 1,"Hounded", & Dont Stop!

It was great to see the first fight scene with our newest Druid. It was a great way to show the work of 12 years not written. Perhaps though my favorite woment was when she first went hunting with the boys. My three favorite characters, humor, and both Kevin and Luke Daniels really allow you to feel like you are there with the charecters.

Contact with Gear and when they are working on finishing the tattoos. She wants to drop the facade but he asks, "please, just wait until I finish" (paraphrased). It's not that he didn't love her, it's that their love was strong and they needed to wait just a little longer, finish this one tough task, ensure her safety before he could risk feeling those feelings. And they did wait. Passion is great, but when circumstance force you to hold it in, to wait, that's when you feel everything. The anticipation, the love and concern leading up to the final release.

Not my favorite "Iron Druid" book and it still gets 5 stars. If that doesn't show a great series I don't know what would

Funny,Intelligent, Action.

Laugh, laugh, laugh, Oberon is a hoot. I love the voice of that dog. He has the best one liners and I like the way his mind works. His relationship with Atticus is fun to listen to and even better now that Grommuel (sp?) is apart of it.

I want more of Oberon!!!!!

I CAN'T COMPARE HIS BOOK TO ANOTHER BOOK. I LOVE THE WHOLE SERIES. I WISH THEY COME OUT FASTER, AND NEVER STOPPED.

MONSTER HUNTER SERIES
BOTH AUTHORS HAVE GOOD SENCE OF HUMOR, AND WONDERFUL IMAGATION.

MYTHS ABOUT DIFFERENT GODS

OBERON CRACKES ME UP, MAKE ME WANT IRISH WOLF HOUND

IF YOU BUY THIS SERIES YOU WILL LAUGH, AND BE TRANSFORMED TO ANOTHER LEVEL OF THINKING.

Best So Far

EVERYTHING

Atticus

The whole thing

Why does it take so long to get the next volume? lol

I'll have to listen to Trapped again because I feel like I didn't follow everything terribly well. Hearne delves into so many different myths and religions that I had a hard time keeping it all straight. Perhaps if I had read the book instead of listening, the names wouldn't have gotten so confused for me.

The sexual tensions between Atticus and his apprentice has been building so delightfully throughout the IDC books and Hearne (and subsequently Oberon and Daniels) couldn't have handled it better.

If Luke Daniels read a book on how to watch paint dry, I'm pretty sure I'd still want to listen over and over again.

I feel like Mr. Druid (What the Native American trickster god dubs Atticus O'Sullivan) is an old friend. I'm fond of his demeanor and "iron age world view". That being said, I also disagree with a few of the choices he is starting to make. This causes a new and refreshing development at this phase in the relationship. Sometimes I feel he lets a bit of socialization from the modern age seep into his decision making process too much and I want to slap my forehead while at other times I feel he's a bit more callous than I feel he has any right to be. Regardless I imagine myself (quite reflexively) reacting to his decisions in my mind as if I were there and part of his little circle. Not only am I now questioning certain decisions as he makes them, but I'm revisiting past actions and wondering if maybe they weren't quite the best options WE could have taken. I feel even more part of the group, still deeper connected. Maybe in spite of this questioning, but most probably due to it.

Plus... Oberon.

The only reason I didn't find the performance to be on par with previous Luke Daniels/Iron Druid readings lies in Daniels' slight alteration in pitch and tone for our hero. It grated on me for the first couple hours of the reading (and is solely responsible for the loss of a star in my rating). After that, however, I didn't even notice the difference and all was well. Daniels emotes with his voice. This is a very difficult feat and I've not often stumbled upon it whilst listening to my 100-odd audio books. That he can nail a few accents and passably imitate others is a sweet, sweet cherry on an already luscious cake.

The reason I took a star off for story and overall ratings is simply that the book felt rushed to me. Hearne has gotten to the point in this series where he has so much going on he really needs to write more per novel or try to accomplish less with each novel. He spent the first seven hours of a nine hour recording setting things up and breezing through a few not entirely trivial matters that were made to feel trivial. I would say it feels like the first half of what should have been a two part novel, but it actually feels more like two thirds of a full novel that had random pages of nearly-but-not-quite superfluous bits ripped out.

In conclusion, I enjoyed the continuation of the series greatly and I still enjoy Luke Daniels' narration. I will keep supporting both this author and this talented reader. It's not often you find such a great duo.
