설명

Atticus O’Sullivan, the last of the Druids, seeks a quiet existence in sunny Arizona, where he juggles the day-to-day operations of his occult bookstore with an unremarkable lifestyle. But peace is a fleeting dream when ancient gods and mythical creatures come knocking at his door. His deep-rooted past entangles him with supernatural foes, forcing him to confront dangers that threaten both his life and the delicate balance of the world around him.

As an ancient being with a wealth of experience and tricks up his sleeves, Atticus must navigate a whimsical yet perilous landscape filled with shape-shifters, fae, and an all-too-persistent Celtic war god. Each encounter pulls him deeper into a conflict that ties him not only to his heritage but to the fate of those he cares about. His journey encompasses humor, wit, and an exploration of the strands that bind the mortal realm to the supernatural.

Atticus’s story is one of resilience and the quest for identity amidst chaos, where old magic meets modern-day challenges. In a world where every ally could become an enemy, he must summon the powers within him to survive and protect what is dear. The wit and charm of his character draw readers into a vibrant narrative that brilliantly intertwines myth and contemporary life, promising a thrilling adventure on every page.

I listened to the audiobook, which I do not recommend.What I liked: 1. The general story was fine.2. Very much enjoyed Leif. What I didn't like:1. The audiobook narrator was GARBAGE. I don't know why he couldn't be bothered to pronounce any of the Irish words properly, but it took me right out of the story. His voices for various characters were ridiculous, why did Oberon sound like Scooby Do? He did an Irish accent for the widow, but not for any of the Irish gods/goddesses? 2. The dialogue seemed stilted, particularly from Atticus. He's meant to be blending into American society, but no one on earth talks the way he does.3. I found it really repetitive, like Atticus is CONSTANTLY reminding us that he draws his power from the Earth. We get it, dude.
