Funny and dorky. I love it. The world building is awesome. Atticus and his hound are hilarious. The interchanges between Atticus and Lief are great. Atticus’ precarious relationship with the various gods and goddesses is very interesting. The mythology is intriguing. Overall the storytelling and dialogue are compelling.

The only con I could come up with is that Atticus is not only an imperfect flesh and blood man, but he is a lifelong pagan who is not governed by Christian-Judeo morals. This fact at times made reading Atticus’ internal dialogue and actions awkward and uncomfortable. If you’re sensitive about cultures and religious beliefs that are starkly different from your own, you may find Atticus and this series unappealing.
