Description
Fantasy. Fiction. Thriller. HTML:NEW YORK TIMES BESTSELLER 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. Includes Kevin Hearne�??s novella �??Two Ravens and One Crow�?� in the back of the book Don�??t miss any of Kevin Hearne�??s phenomenal Iron Druid Chronicles novels: HOUNDED | HEXED | HAMMERED | TRICKED | TRAPPED | HUNTED | SHATTERED | STAKED Praise for Kevin Hearne �??It may be possible that Hearne and Atticus are the logical heir to Butcher and Dresden.�?��??SFFWorld �??An exciting mix of comedy, action, and mythology . . .

I really enjoy this series, but something about this book rubbed me wrong. I love the characters and the action is just as good as any of the other books. I also like how Atticus attempts to resolve the conflict with the Olympians using logic, restraint, and communication. The dialogue is excellent
My first dissonant moment came when (SPOILER) a sniper shoots Atticus and everyone thinks he's dead. I know these books get compared to the Dresden Files all the time, and that is a great comparison, but it seems cheap that the same method used to knock Harry down was also used on Atticus. It's a bit too easy to copy Butcher's formula and repeat it, and thus far Hearne hasn't left me feeling like he's trying to write with Butcher's pen...but that slipped up for me here. Also, by putting it in the middle of the story it was clearly evident that Atticus was NOT dead and would be coming right back...so why should I (as a faithful reader) care about the head shot. I know there'd be a miracle of magic to make it all better just a few pages away. I guess what I'm saying is that it felt copied and cheap and useless to the story.
The second item that bothered me is how the ending just kind of peters out. It doesn't have a strong enough third act. The action is weaker than that provided in the first two acts and the means with which Atticus wins through isn't triumphant enough. He just kind of ekes it out and then it ends with a lot of healing. Yay...that's....bland.
Again...I love this series. It's in my top 5 favorite urban fantasy series and I'll keep coming back. I've read all the books and novellas and love going to Hearne's site for the extras he provides. Atticus and Oberon are my favorite comedy duo in books right now. I enjoyed the book, but I feel like it's just not as good as previous entries. I do realize it marks a transition and that the focus on the Olympians can now be switched to the mysterious forces pushing towards Ragnarok. Still, the structure of that transition fell flat for me. I'll look forward to the next book and hope that the next chapter in Atticus, Oberon and Granuaile's lives will be better.

I actually pre-ordered this; I was a bit anxious at the end of Trapped to see what would happen next. As I keep saying, the best thing about this series is that it is a series - there is a plot that goes through all the books, which tell one, coherent story.

technically impressive - basically, all that happens is that Atticus and Granuaile are running, on foot, from Greece to England. This is the worst kind of fantasy/adventure novel cliche: the party journeys through the wilderness, having random life-threatening adventures to pad the page count. In this case, there are no random encounters, although almost all of them are life-threatening. Each interaction builds towards the coming climax. Characters from previous volumes reappear, for reasons that make perfect sense. They each have an agenda they are following, and continue to act in their own interests. Leif Helgarson, the vampire who may have been Atticus' friend in the past, continues to plot to take over the vampire court, and continues to use Atticus as an instrument of his plotting. The Tuatha de Danaan are still up to something Atticus can't figure out, but might die from. Loki is still reeling and stumbling through everyone's best laid plans. Even people who have agreed to work with Atticus can't stand him. I'm looking forward to the next volume, whenever it comes!Granuaile continues to be a real negative for the series as a whole.

First Thought when Finished: The end of Hunted was a little to abrupt and it felt like nothing really happened in the
Story Thoughts: Let me start with this, even though I did not enjoy Hunted as much as the rest of the series there was still the Kevin Hearne writing that we all know and love. I can't pinpoint exactly where the book and I didn't connect. I wasn't a fan of having things told from Granuaile's POV but only because she didn't sound like her old quippy self. I like her as a character but her POV parts just felt odd. I did like her in the story when it was from Atticus or Oberon though. Also, it felt like there was a lot of action but not a lot going on in Hunted. Yes, there were allies made and bad guys defeated (sort of) but it felt like one big peace treaty negotiation. Nothing wrong with that but Hunted felt more like filler (every series always has that one book that feels that way, this was this series book). Would I read it again? As part of a series reread absolutely. Do I think it would have worked better for me if I could read the next book? Probably.
Character Thoughts: I love Kevin Hearne's characters. They are the reason I love this series. Atticus, Oberon, and Granuaile are supported by some great characters from Mythology/Folklore/Kevin's Imagination. There were a few sad moments in Hunted and now there are some characters that will no longer be with us. I will miss them but my favorites are still around. You can't go wrong with The Iron Druid characters. They just rock!
Audio Thoughts
Narrated By Luke Daniels / Length: 9 hrs and 52 mins
Luke Daniels is awesome! Seriously I could listen to him read the telephone book. However, he excels at Atticus and Oberon. He is the characters in the Iron Druid series. I couldn't imagine anyone but him reading them. If you haven't listened to Luke Daniels read/act/bring to life The Iron Druid Chronicles then you are missing out. I highly recommend him.
Final Thoughts: Even though this wasn't my favorite, Hunted still had its fun moments. Don't miss out on the brilliance that is Oberon and Atticus. They do have their moments!

It's hard to review books that are later on in a series because of the potential for spoilers. Suffice to say, Hearne's writing is as strong as ever. This book has all the wit and action of its predecessors. Everyone is out to kill Atticus--in that sense, the book reminded me of Jim Butcher's
One of the coolest things about this book is that it covers a massive swath of Europe, from Hungary to England. As a geography geek who has never been across the Atlantic, I really got a kick out of that. It was like Rick Steves' Travels in Europe, with goddesses and vampires trying to kill you (I'd totally contribute to a PBS pledge drive if that subject was involved). Hearne even has a full Google map of the route up on his website.
This continues to be one of my favorite series and one of the few I make an extra effort to keep up with.

This is the 6th book in the Iron Druid Chronicles. The 7th book will be titled Shattered, I wasn’t able to find a release date on the 7th book. Hunted was a good continuation of the Iron Druid Chronicles; I enjoyed the humor and the way our characters have grown and changed throughout the series.
I listened to this on audiobook and the audiobook was incredibly well done. This is one of those series I actually enjoy listening to even more than I enjoy reading.
As a result of trapping Bacchus in a time stream the Olympian Gods are pretty ticked off at Atticus and Granuaile. So for the better part of this book Atticus and Granuaile are on the run from Diana and Artemis. Of course there is also still the issue of Loki being on the loose and Ragnarok threatening on the horizon.
This story was basically Atticus and Granuaile running from place to place trying to dodge attack from dark elves, vamps, and Olympian Gods. There is some character development but not a ton. The book is still a highly entertaining read, it’s very funny at parts but probably the least funny book of this series.
There are some dire things that happen and our characters get into some absolutely awful situations. Granuaile has become a force to be reckoned with but is still learning some things as well. Atticus is himself and as usually he escapes absolute death by just a hair a number of times.
There are a lot of different gods in this book; Norse, Olympian, Greek, etc. Ragnarok is getting closer and closer but must still be avoided at all costs.
Honestly while I still really enjoyed this book, I thought it was the weakest in the series to date. I just feel like the main story involving Loki is making very little progress and moving very slowly.
Overall a good book in this series, but the weakest to date. I still really enjoyed it; I love the humor and mythology in these books. The story made some progress but not a ton. Having Atticus and Granuaile fleeing enemies over and over again is getting a bit wearing; it seems like the last couple books have been like this. I still do look forward to the next book and am excited to see where the story ends up.

ending even when you can't see how its going to happen. If I had to compare Hunted and the Iron Druid Chronicles than I would have to say Jim Butcher and the Dresden Files would be a close comparison. The main characters are magic users and really truly wanted to help even though they struggle with their own perceptions and shortcomings but that really makes them enjoyable stories and series. Actually, it’s kind of funny but the last scene in the book was getting Oberon an Irish Wolf Hound bitch and his reaction and the whole scenario had me spitting my milk across the table. In fact, due to that reaction my oldest child is currently listening to Hounded, which is an endorsement all by itself. The death of Atticus was a tough scene to listen and experience. Even though we learn that his soul catching charm in which he hadn't test (for obvious reasons-He would've had to die) before works as he thought it would. Maybe he should make another and while he is at it make one for "Clever Girl" and Oberon too. But the whole period of not knowing what was happen was a little much I would say. Made a little harder to detect the outcome because in this book we get "Clever Girl" narrating which is new to me, I didn't read/listen to Hearne's novellas so I don't know if she had in previous books.

Nothing emphasises the need for good cardio so much as being tracked by two goddesses of the hunt and their hounds. Having barely escaped from Mount Olympus and blocked from shifting planes, Atticus, Granuaile, and Oberon must run across Europe in hopes of an assist from a friend of the Tuatha Dé Danann. They’re going to need plenty of help, since Artemis and Diana and other Olympians really want them dead.
