Hounded by Kevin Hearne
5.0
I've read this book several times, but this year I finally want to read the whole series.
Atticus is a really bold, inventive and entertaining protagonist who defies common perceptions of druids. He adapts to the conventions of modern times in both his behaviour and his mindset. His best friend is his Irish wolfhound, with whom he shares a telepathic bond, so that we can almost constantly hear Oberon's funny thoughts, who loves hunting, sausages and poodles.
We learn about Celtic mythology and the gods of Tuatha Dé Danann. For example, Morrigan, the goddess of the Death Changer and war, plays an important role in the story, making a pact with the druid that as long as his existence annoys Aenghus Óg, she will try to protect him from death. We also read about werewolves, vampires, witches and fairies.
Although I've read this book many times, the funny Oberon, the mysterious Granuaile and Mrs MacDonagh, who helps to get rid of the bodies, are still my favourites.
Hounded is an action-packed and entertaining story that brings Celtic mythological figures to life.
