This book made me laugh out loud in sheer delight more than once. A kick-ass Druid, his sidekick wolfhound, witches, werewolves, gods, demons and a retiree sounds like a huge mess, but Mr. Hearne manages to turn it into a fast-paced, very clever series opener.
Although I knew that everything would turn out alright-there's none of the soul-wrenching darkness in some UF, I still loved the ride that it took to get there. The magic worked for me and to anyone who might complain that Atticus had too much power, I'd point out that he's been around for 2000 years, he'd be incompetent if he had less.
The world that Atticus lives in is big enough to handle any number of sequels as well as a spin-off or two for a couple of characters. All in all, it reminded me just how fun UF can be when done right. Not everything has to be doom, gloom and angst.
I loved Atticus O'Sullivan. He has the right amount of snark, cheerfulness and the arrogance of being around for a couple of millennia. I wondered if I could introduce him to Kate Daniels; I think they'd end up great friends.
I enjoyed this book enough to put the writer on my instabuy list, and can't wait for books two and three which will be coming out later this year.
Favorite line: Did she think I was some sort of lame-assed neo-Druid mucking about with holly branches and mistletoe?
How much did I like it? I pre-ordered the next two.
