The first novel in the Iron Druid Chronicles--introducing a cool, new, funny urban fantasy hero.
Atticus O'Sullivan, last of the Druids, lives peacefully in Arizona, running an occult bookshop and shape-shifting in his spare time to hunt with his Irish wolfhound. His neighbors and customers think that this handsome, tattooed Irish dude is about twenty-one years old--when in actuality, he's twenty-one "centuries" old. Not to mention: He draws his power from the earth, possesses a sharp wit, and wields an even sharper magical sword known as Fragarach, the Answerer.
Unfortunately, a very angry Celtic god wants that sword, and he's hounded Atticus for centuries. Now the determined deity has tracked him down, and Atticus will need all his power--plus the help of a seductive goddess of death, his vampire and werewolf team of attorneys, a bartender possessed by a Hindu witch, and some good old-fashioned luck of the Irish--to kick some Celtic arse and deliver himself from evil.
This book is right up my alley. A witty, Druid with some amazing powers. There are so many great things about this book.
The writing flows and character development is top notch.
You want gods with awesome powers?
What about witches, vampires and other fey?
How about a main character that is truly written by a man? There are plenty of times, where his penis almost causes the mission to fail.
Finally, a talking dog (physic)! Yes, it is true!
Amazing book. So far, the second book is just as good as the first. If you like Dresden Files, then this would be right up your alley.
Until Next Time,
Jay
