Review of 'Hexed\r\n \r\n Iron Druid Chronicles Paperback' on 'Goodreads'
5 stars
If imitation is the sincerest form of flattery, then this novel must be quite flattering to Butcher. The style is the same as Dresden, full of humor to balance the adventure and serious nature of the threats, which seem more than credible. All of this isn't to say that it's reductive or apes Butcher; Hearne does have his own style of writing and a unique cast of characters and a unique world. In this outing, Hearne does more worldbuilding, while continuing the threads from the prior novel. If the prior novel was a sketch, this one filled in the shading and brought more color to the work. Thoroughly enjoyable, and definitely recommended.
