Review of 'Hunted' on 'Goodreads'

5 stars

I really enjoy Kevin Hearne's Iron Druid series. As it hits its 6th book, I really got a taste for how well Hearne has been handling cross-book foreshadowing. Events are popping up that call back to things that were mentioned almost in passing in the first book. Not to mention the well-written Gaiman-esque treatment of deities. The treatment of the Olympians, both Roman and Greek, was pretty great with both similarities and disparities played up. Overall, the series is just an extremely good treatment of urban fantasy, with interesting magic and interesting characters.

One of the great things about the Iron Druid series is how every book matters. Not only do characters from earlier books return, but Atticus’ actions in one book influence how these characters feel about him later. Actions have repercussions, sometimes expected and other times surprising.

The vast majority of Hunted is an elaborate chase sequence as Atticus, Granuaile and Oberon try to cross Europe while evading the pursuit of Artemis and Diana. They’re upset about how Atticus has trapped Bacchus. All of the easy avenues of escape are closed to the Druids, so it’s a foot race. And the goddesses are being helped by vampires and dark elves. And don’t forget Loki, who wants to kill Atticus himself. The gods are using this as a betting opportunity, so our favorite Druids are on their own with just their wits and skills to protect them.
