“We want somebody to rescue us from other people. From talking to them, I mean, or from the burden of giving a damn about what they say. We don’t want to be polite and stifle our farts, now, do we? We want to let ’em rip and we want to be with someone who won’t care if we do, who will love us regardless and fart right back besides.”

Staked (The Iron Druid Chronicles, #8) by Kevin Hearne

Can I just stop here? I kind of just want to stop here. This will be the last book in this series! What is book nine? I say this because since it was published, the last book in this series (which I have enjoyed greatly!) hasn’t gotten the greatest reviews from my friends and from others. I spoiled myself a little after reading this one and it honestly does sound awful, what happens. Maybe context would help, but it really doesn’t seem like it. And […]

An Inexplicable Hatred of Raisins

Ink & Sigil by Kevin Hearne

Score again for shelf-browsing time burning selection from the local library! I had a few minutes to spare, had to stop by the local library to pick something else up, went shelf-browsing and found this: Ink & Sigil. This was fantasy fun at its best, not only because of the characters, mechanics of the magic, and intrigue of the plot, but also because of the reasonably integrated exploration of a real world serious problem, in this case human trafficking. Let’s back up a sec to […]

Superficially, it’s a comedy fantasy with pirates and otters but underneath is so much more

The Princess Beard by Delilah S. Dawson, Kevin Hearne

by Leave a Comment

The Princess Beard is the third book in Delilah S. Dawson and Kevin Hearne’s “Tales of Pell” series.  Once again they have me nearly doubled over with laughter while also appreciating their pro LGBTQ+, feminist, socially conscious agenda and sly pokes at the establishment.  Each of the three books this duo have written together can stand alone and be read individually.  However, the world is much richer if you have read the other books.  And as they are hysterically funny, I highly suggest reading all […]

Shattered (The Iron Druid Chronicles, #7) by Kevin Hearne

This was my favorite of the series so far, but the ending makes me nervous for how the series is going to wrap up. Spoilers for the previous six books in the series. Shattered picks up right where we left off. Atticus’s archdruid Owen has been pulled from the Time Islands, his language and mentality still stuck in the time before Jesus Christ was born. Atticus quickly has to bring him up to speed so he doesn’t get himself in trouble, all while still trying […]

Two humans and a talking dog are chased around Europe for three months, intermittently pausing to give one of them tattoos.

Trapped (The Iron Druid Chronicles, #5) by Kevin Hearne

by Leave a Comment

Protagonists being chased from place to place while antagonist nearly always has one-up on them has never been a favorite plot of mine, so this book wasn’t ever going to be my favorite in the series, but surprisingly it does work better than I thought it would. Maybe because it’s so short, less than 300 pages, or maybe because I’m already invested in the characters. The central plot here is that after twelve years of secret training, because everyone (mostly everyone) believed the druid Atticus […]
