hurricanecait7 's review for:
Hounded
by Kevin Hearne
Didn't like it. Flat out. It failed to engage me. The main character, really old druid Atticus, was kind of flat. He lacked any kind of real depth. He also (and I take it this is a theme for the rest of the series) has the ability to attract more trouble in two days than he has in 2000 years. Other characters (almost always of the mythological persuasion) dropped in at random, more to trot out mythological references than to make a meaningful contribution to the plot. All female characters are beautiful, often a goddess, and always hot for Atticus (naturally), but lack depth or any notable complexity or authenticity. Mostly, one never feels Atticus is any real danger or his actions meaningful because the author never allows him that level of frailty, weakness, or human connection. He is just good looking, powerful, and going through the motions. Boring and thus dropped.
