We got to enjoy more time with Oberon and much to my delight there were plenty of scenes written from Granuaile’s POV, a trend I hope continues. Hearne slew my heart wide-open as we lose someone dear to us. To make matters worse twists and turns left me reeling. We learn about the Forest of Hearne, which had me pausing to learn more about the folklore behind it.
Action packed with loads of secondary characters, elementals and curious creatures I delighted in listening to Luke Daniels create voices for not only the gods, but others. Brilliantly done, I could see these characters spring to life and proving once again that Hearne and Daniels are beautifully matched. I loved the author's portrayal of Artemis and Diana from the modern nods to their attire and the gods' stories.
Atticus continues to amaze me and even when he would like to sit down and weep, he manages to prove what a badass Druid he is. Hunted provided a mix of emotions, darkness, and light. I loved Atticus' snark, quips, and ability to find humor in the most dangerous of situations. He really is a smartass. He along with Oberon and Garnuaile amuse me with their movie quotes and nods to all things geeky that I adore.
Hearne's humor combined with his easy flowing storytelling and unique take on lore, gods, and supernatural creatures allowed me to become completely caught up in the hunt and I devoured this audio in a single day.
I loved the ending in which Atticus fulfills an overdue promise to Oberon. It was hilarious and touching. I am excited to learn more.
As an added bonus, the audiobook contains the novella, Two Ravens, and One Crow. Events take place six years into Garnuaile's training and between the novels, Tricked and Trapped but also help to tie up some loose ends from Hammered. As a fan of the Morrigan and baseball, I loved this tale. Filled with laughter, angry gods, and a naked Morriga. I loved spending additional time in this world.
