[b:Staked|16280689|Staked (The Iron Druid Chronicles, #8)|Kevin Hearne|https://d.gr-assets.com/books/1434745650s/16280689.jpg|22382333] is the latest book in the Iron Druid Chronicles by [a:Kevin Hearne|4414255|Kevin Hearne|https://d.gr-assets.com/authors/1289238438p2/4414255.jpg]. A *most* enjoyable series that, like [a:Neil Gaiman|1221698|Neil Gaiman|https://d.gr-assets.com/authors/1234150163p2/1221698.jpg]'s [b:American Gods|30165203|American Gods|Neil Gaiman|https://d.gr-assets.com/books/1462924585s/30165203.jpg|1970226], deals with gods in the real world. Like the other book, this author draws his gods from historical pantheons where Mr. Gaiman adds in some contemporary gods based on technology. Along with the gods are a veritable case of vampires, werewolves, and all variety of Fae.
The series started with Atticus O'Sullivan (Siodhachan O Suileabhain), a 2000 year old druid and adds Granuaile, his apprentice, and Owen Kennedy (Eoghan Ó Cinnéide), Atticus' archdruid.
One of the most enjoyable parts of this series is the relationship that Atticus and Granuaile have with their Irish wolfhounds, Oberon and Orlaith. Also, bath time for Oberon is always an opportunity for a story.
The key principle that drives the plot in this book especially is that consequences of past choices catch up with you to the point where you have little freedom to initiate anything new; you're just mopping up past messes.
I'm hoping that this is NOT the last book in the series.
Previous books in the series had an appendix at the back of the book with a pronunciation guide to (especially) the Irish names in the book. I missed finding that in this book.
