What this book is about
Kevin Hearne's first Iron Druid Chronicles novel introduces Atticus O'Sullivan, an ancient Druid posing as a twenty-one-year-old bookshop owner in modern Arizona, who is hunted by the Celtic god Aenghus Óg over a sword. The novel is witty and fast-paced, combining Celtic mythology with urban fantasy action. The humor is sharp and the world-building is inventive. Violence is present in the urban fantasy action register; content is moderate.
