Hammered is the 3rd book in the IRON DRUID series. Kevin Hearne’s books feature the last Druid who lives in contemporary Tempe, Arizona. But legendary and mythological characters are everywhere. The Druid’s lawyers are partners: a werewolf for day work and a vampire for Night Court. In Hammered, the Druid heads for Asgard to confront the Norse gods–and one in particular. You’ll be able to make a Good Guess who that is from the title of this book. The IRON DRUID series is silly and fun. If you’re looking for light, entertaining contemporary fantasy these books fit the bill. GRADE: B
Oh, to be able to suspend my overworked sense of reality and enjoy this. Even fairy tales were a stretch for a Dick and Jane realism girl. I really admire the eclecticism in what you read, George.
Patti, these IRON DRUID books are like eating potato chips: you can’t just read one (and they’re not very filling). The go-to person on contemporary urban fantasy is Jackie Meyerson. I’m sure she could recommend books in this genre that you would be more inclined to like. These IRON DRUID books seem to targeting the 12-year-old male market. But, they are fun.
Seems too silly for me, thanks. Also, too bad they couldn’t have bothered with a better cover.
Rick, I’m with you on the covers for this series. They’re all photo-like. And, you’re right about the books being silly. But, sometimes, I’m just in the mood for silly.
