Hexed by Kevin Hearne

harleyrae's review against another edition

4.0

So this book took me far to long to read! When I first picked it up I wanted to read it, but about 50 pages in I really wanted to read something else but I didn't want to put this down. So with that it took me almost the entire month to finish. But other than that I really enjoyed this book. It was a bit slow at parts, which wasn't helping, but it was an overall fun read. The last half was much more exciting than than the first. It seemed to me that the beginning of the book was mainly trying to get you caught up on what happened in the first book.
All in all I enjoyed this book and hope to continue on with the story soon.

I absolutely loved Hexed and the Iron Druid series. Hexed takes place shortly after Hounded ends and continues to be action-packed and hilarious. I laughed so much during this book, which was needed. Hexed gave us a little bit of a glimpse into Atticus's past and where he was during certain historical events. Oberon and The Widow are my absolute favorite characters in this series.

I definitely recommend it to anyone who likes Urban Fantasy and also likes to laugh.

I really enjoy this series - the characters are flawed by likeable and there is plenty of humor to balance the more serious elements.

I have read this book many times, but I still love it.

Atticus is visited by revenge-seeking acquaintances and strangers who want to get even with their enemies. However, the druid must deal with new local threats while educating her apprentice Granuaile and protecting his loved ones.

The Celtic goddesses want our protagonist, who could be a valuable ally, on their side. Coyote, a mischievous Native American god, also turns up to take on a demon. Meanwhile, witches, Bacchanal women and kabbalists are causing mayhem.

In the second book, we can expect more humour, action and paranormal conflict. We are in for another unforgettable adventure with the last druid, his faithful dog and his enthusiastic apprentice.

I really enjoyed this installment! I love how this series combines so many different mythologies. it makes it so interesting.

the women are still not portrayed great in this series, over sexualized and what not.

I do however love both Hal and Lief a lot!

Second in the series. Like the previous one, don't try to think about it too much...just be entertained by the dialogue and characters. The plot is a bit scattered and episodic; parts of the story seem to just be there to set up the next book.

Like the first one, this book is a fun diversion without a lot of real substance.

It did suffer from a feeling of being in between other books. It felt more like a segue to later novels, than a cohesive story of its own.
