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)

Good but too expensive for a novella

As 12 years pass between the events in Tricked (Bk 4) and Trapped (Bk 5), this novella is set right in the middle timewise and sets the stage for Ragnarök (the showdown between the Norse gods and some really bad people) and some very interesting alliances between Atticus and some gods. We also learn how Atticus and Granuaile are dealing with their 'working' relationship and some very revealing tidbits about Atticus' past.

I wouldn't say the book was boring but it didn't have excitement of previous books, specially because most of the action occurred during a formal dinner - and we hear descriptions of every course.

Luke Daniels did a bang up job with the narration as usual but I don't know that I'd recommend anybody to pay the current price of this audiobook (which is $9.80 for Audible members.) I think it's a definite must read but I think the ebook will suffice.

But of course, I'm a big fan of this series and I'm sooo looking forward to Trapped. Like the last few books in the series, I'll probably buy the audio the day it comes out

Too short!

The rest of the series are shorter than the books I'm used to, but I loved the stories. Two Ravens and One Crow is just way too short at just over 2.5 hours. I felt that this story should have been made part of another book, especially for the prices of a credit.

Too much old God's too little current day

I used to like this series but there's too little plot too much mythology.

Too Short

This book wasn’t for you, but who do you think might enjoy it more?

I love the book & the story line. It was just way too short. Waiting on the next story.....

Who was your favorite character and why?

Oden: so calm around Freea & quick to speak his mind when the ladies were not around..(Funny!!!)

What three words best describe Luke Daniels’s voice?

Calm, Funny, & Great

What reaction did this book spark in you? Anger, sadness, disappointment?

Disappointment, Not enough story..

Wait for the next book

Any additional comments?

Atticus and the crew are back in this short novella. Not a lot happens in this installment, and I don't really recommend listening to it. I do not think skipping it will detract from the next book in the series. As always, Luke Daniels is great.

nOT WORTH A CREDIT OR PAYING FOR

What disappointed you about Two Ravens and One Crow?

Such a snippet of a story

What could Kevin Hearne have done to make this a more enjoyable book for you?

nothing

Who would you have cast as narrator instead of Luke Daniels?

NO-ONE he does great

What reaction did this book spark in you? Anger, sadness, disappointment?

disappointment that I had wasted $$ on it.

Any additional comments?

why such a mini novel. IT should have been a free novella.

to short for to much $

very good story but it is short. and it cost's to much for the amount of time/material you are buying.

Very High Price, Good Story, but Skippable

I've spent the weekend binging on Atticus and Oberon. I bought this short story because I thought it might be weird to read Book 4 on Saturday and book 5 on Sunday and 12 years have paased... so I figured this short story would help my mind accept the time lapse.

It's a good short story that sets up the story for the 5th book. But I purchased at almost $10... which I feel is high for a,2 hour story. But I didn't want to use my credit :-) If you can take the,price then skip it. It's nice but not vital to continue the story

I LOVE the Iron Druid Chronicle series...but....

Would you try another book from Kevin Hearne and/or Luke Daniels?

YES, DEFINITELY!

If you’ve listened to books by Kevin Hearne before, how does this one compare?

I do think that out of all of the Iron Druid Chronicle books so far, this one is my least favorite :(

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

Luke Daniels is an AMAZING narrator. Out of all of the books that I've heard on audible, he is definitely my favorite narrator so far.

Did Two Ravens and One Crow inspire you to do anything?

Ummm...no

Any additional comments?

Even though this has been my least favorite Iron Druid Chronicles book, I am still very much looking forward to the next one's release. I do hope that Luke Daniels will continue to narrate all of the future Iron Druid releases.

it was pretty good

Is there anything you would change about this book?

I think the story line in this sticks with the other books and does really good to give you some in site before jumping to far into the future kinda thing for the next book... However, I don't believe it was worth the money. It is really short and so not worth ten bucks.
