A review by tygaribay
Shattered by Kevin Hearne

3.0

I took some time off from this series and fell a few books behind. I was very much looking forward to getting back into it with this book, but I have to say that for the first time the author disappointed me. It feels like this entry in the series was a combination of exposition and set piece engagements designed to just move the plot along to a fairly obvious final big battle. Hearne struggled with dealing with the multiple viewpoints he chose to tell the story, so some things came off as repetitive. On the bright side, the characters are still endearing and the magical world the author has created is still wonderful to learn more about. Hearne mixes in his trademark wacky humor throughout, so at least the book is entertaining. In any case, I will plow on through to books #8 and #9 in the not too distant future. Hope that things get better. Overall, I highly recommend this series to anyone who enjoys stories about magical happenings set in our modern world, like the Dresden Chronicles or Supernatural.
