Booklog 73/2020: Kevin Hearne: Trapped - Iron Druid #5 - Audiobook

[jacey]

Two thousand year old Iron Druid, Atticus, his wolfhound Oberon, and apprentice Druid, Granuaile are on the run from the gods of several pantheons, in particular the Norse lot whom Atticus severely upset a couple of books ago, and now the Greek gods as well. All Atticus wants to do is bind Granuaile to the earth to finish her training and make her into a full Druid. On top of that he has several enemies in Tir Na N'Og. Over the past few books he's amassed an enormous body count and it seems as though it's payback time. Twelve years ago he faked his and Granuaile's death so he could finish her Druid training in peace, but  now the gods have realised he's still alive and several of them have scores to settle. Things go from bad to worse, but there are a few bright spots and they meet a few friends on the way. I had this as an audiobook from Audible. It's narrated by Christopher Ragland, and while he's a decent narrator, after a while the 'comic' voice he uses for Oberon (who is telepathic) becomes a little wearing. If I'm honest I'd like to see Atticus in a situation where he's not running from or fighting gods all the time.
