This book was a rollercoaster from start to finish and I loved every minute of it. This was the perfect way to end this series, everything was wrapped up neatly with just a hint of what’s next. I loved getting to see the end of Adam’s story. With all of its ups and downs and hard parts. I also loved that we got to see Vic’s journey through the underworld with Jodi (and Mel). I really liked that we got to see everyone grow into their powers and change and become something more. It was so much fun getting to explore a new layer to this universe! I also kinda liked that this book took a slightly different turn at the end than I was expecting. Deadbeat Druid is getting a solid 5 stars from me. I hope we get to explore more of this universe in the future!

I really enjoyed this satisfying conclusion to Adam Binder’s story. Slayton does an excellent job of crafting an engaging and thoroughly entertaining story. There were a few things that felt held back on such as everything that happened with Vran, but it didn’t feel underdeveloped, feeling instead like it’ll come up later.
