For a two-thousand-year-old Druid, Atticus O’Sullivan is a pretty fast runner. Good thing, because he’s being chased by not one but two goddesses of the hunt—Artemis and Diana—for messing with one of their own. Dodging their slings and arrows, Atticus, Granuaile, and his wolfhound Oberon are making a mad dash across modern-day Europe to seek help from a friend of the Tuatha Dé Danann. His usual magical option of shifting planes is blocked, so instead of playing hide-and-seek, the game plan is . . . run like hell.
Crashing the pantheon marathon is the Norse god Loki. Killing Atticus is the only loose end he needs to tie up before unleashing Ragnarok—AKA the Apocalypse. Atticus and Granuaile have to outfox the Olympians and contain the god of mischief if they want to go on living—and still have a world to live in. - from Amazon.com
This is the continuation in the Iron Druid Chronicles with the further adventures of Atticus, Oberon, and Granuaile. At this installment, Granuaile has completed her druidic training, and they find themselves being hunted across Europe by the two huntresses of Greek & Roman mythology. Along the way, readers get to enjoy some druidic humor, and a different way to look at the gods of mythology of several cultures.
I dread the "wanting more" feeling I get every time I finish one of Hearne's books in this Iron Druid series, but love knowing that there is going to be another one! Super Shaka nar nar.
