An Iron Druid Chronicles Novella

By: Kevin Hearne

Narrated by: Luke Daniels

Length: 2 hrs and 36 mins

Publisher's summary

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!

Critic reviews

"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." ( Library Journal)

Short but fun

This was a short but sweet mini novel. Probably not worth the credit but certainly a great short listen.

Corn wizard

The reverent playfulness with mythology.

What other book might you compare Two Ravens and One Crow to and why?

Jim Butcher's Harry Blackstone series and Michael Scott's Flammel's series.

He understood the tone of the writing and gave each character their due.

Was this a book you wanted to listen to all in one sitting?

Yes

Any additional comments?

It's hard to be irreverant, but Kevin Hearne sustains it well. A reader may be advised not to read the entire oevre at one sitting. Give yourself a break.

Same great Iron Druid flavor, now in travel size!

If you could sum up Two Ravens and One Crow in three words, what would they be?

Should've been longer.

What did you like best about this story?

We finally saw more of the Morrigan's "human" side. Oberon had some good one-liners.

Have you listened to any of Luke Daniels’s other performances before? How does this one compare?

This is definitely on par with the previous Iron Druid Chronicles performances. The main difference, of course, was the length. Quality did not suffer.

Was there a moment in the book that particularly moved you?

I loved the part where Atticus suggested taking the Morrigan to a baseball game.

Any additional comments?

It's a novella, not a novel. I would say it was just enough to leave me wanting more, but to be honest, I wanted more long before I started listening. I'm a big fan of the Iron Druid Chronicles, and this was just enough to hold me over until "Trapped" was released.

Great series fun and witty

Would you recommend this audiobook to a friend? If so, why?

I would recommend this story to anyone who likes smart and funny characters

Who was your favorite character and why?

Atticus and Oberon are tied as my favorites

Have you listened to any of Luke Daniels’s other performances before? How does this one compare?

Luke Daniels continues to bring these characters to life

A little on the Expensive side. But if you like the books you'll like this novella.

A little on the Expensive side. But if you like the books you'll like this novella - the kw.

didn't realize it was a novella

it's 2 hours long. for 9 bucks? what the F dude? is this review 15 words yet?

Fairly lame Novella of the Iron Druid series

I wasn't impressed with this just over 2 hour short story. For one thing, Luke Daniels voicing of the Druid wasn't of the same intonation as in the first 4 books and Oberon the dog was morphing into an intelligent sentient being instead of a dog...the dog has been given more and more voice as the books progress and, frankly, it's getting a bit thick. No longer cute and funny, Oberon has become slightly annoying.

The plot was simple and slightly out of purpose.

I bought this because I'm a fan of the first 4 books but after listening to the preview of the new actual book coming out in November I sort of doubt that I'll bother to buy it.

As I suspected when first listening to this series,which in fact started out very funny and light in key, that it might not have the legs to go on for too long.

Too long might have come IMO. It's gotten old and Oberon has become the fall guy too many times, he's the Jerry Lewis to the 'Druids' Dean Martin. Slobbery dog can go away now-thank you.

The novela wasn't worth the credit I spent.

Accidentally Purchased.... Instead of #5 ...

Any additional comments?

Not worth the credit. Didn't mean to purchase the novella... rather the next book in the series.

Wait Until the Second Part Comes Out.

This feels more like the first two chapters of the book. Left me wishing I hadn't bothered until the rest was out.
