Grimoire of the Lamb

An Iron Druid Chronicles Novella

De: Kevin Hearne

Narrado por: Luke Daniels

From the author of The Iron Druid Chronicles comes a rollicking, all-new urban-fantasy adventure featuring Atticus O’Sullivan. Atticus has a history of messing with the gods, and in this original novella, he’ll have to outfox a deity at her own deadly cat-and-mouse game.

When he’s not vanquishing villainous gods or dodging demons, 2,000-year-old Druid Atticus O’Sullivan can be found behind the counter of Third Eye Books and Herbs in modern-day Tempe, Arizona, literally minding his own business. But when an evil sorcerer - and amateur shoplifter - snatches an ancient Egyptian tome of black magic, The Grimoire of the Lamb, Atticus is not sheepish about pursuing him to the ends of the earth...or at least to the Land of the Pharaohs.

Unfortunately Atticus already has enemies in Egypt - including cat goddess Bast, who wants her own book of mischief back from the Druid. In the streets of Cairo, she sends a feline phalanx after Atticus and his Irish wolfhound, Oberon. With fur still flying, Atticus must locate the sorcerer’s secret lair - where he will face killer crocodiles, spooky sarcophagi, and an ancient evil Egyptian who’s determined to order the sacrificial lamb special tonight.

Includes a bonus recording of the short story "Clan Rathskellar"!

Reseñas de la Crítica

"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 21st century.... A snappy narrative voice...a savvy urban fantasy adventure." ( Library Journal, on Hounded)

Reads and sounds like a first writing

It's good but not as good or polished as his other books. It's worth a listen but you may find with a critical ear that it isn't quite as good as Hounded or Hexed.

A fun short story.

I always enjoy Atticus and Oberon interactions and this short is full of it, along with some excellent magical action.

short, but entertaining. worth the read

short but entertaining, worth the read, but at just over 2 hours, not worth a full credit on audible

Simple fun

What did you love best about Grimoire of the Lamb?

The characters are entertaining.

Who was your favorite character and why?

Oberon is my favorite due to his sense of humor.

What does Luke Daniels bring to the story that you wouldn’t experience if you just read the book?

He makes the characters more real for me.

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

Yes

love Atticus

great book in the series, I like this character and the adventures he is part of.

Not nearly long enough!

I was glad to have two stories in one for this installment to the Iron Druid series! I was slightly amused by the sneak peak we got for the next full length book in the series. And! I loved visiting with Atticus and Oberon once again.

If you are a fan of the series, don't miss out on this because the great Luke Daniels is back to give the voices we love to the characters we know. If you haven't read the series? Well then you can start with this if you like because it doesn't spoil any of the following books.

If you like urban fantasy, this series is great and different in the fact that its told by a druid. It's fun and filled with twists and turns and I can't rec it enough!

Fans of the Dresden files would enjoy it, I think. Maybe even fans of Kim Harrison and Kelley Armstrong but expect adventure and the like, not ooey gooey romance.

excellent!

Love the short stories. They are a nice little jaunt into the druid world without the expectation of months of reading. fun!

usual good stuff from Kevin hearne

good story, good performance, hate the number of word requirements on these reviews Yada yada

someday I'll have a wolfhound named Oberon

I actually prefer the novellas/short stories offered by many authors these days. The writing is tight and fast paced. The stories are clever and light. A very enjoyable tale (x3 in this case).

The excerpt is a bit of a cheat.

Luke Daniels

Luke Daniels acts out an excellent preformance in every book of the Iron Druid Chronicles.
