Book review: Hounded

Hounded by Kevin Hearne

My rating: 4 of 5 stars


Hounded was a nice travel read, combining action, some mystery, humor, and even a little sentiment. The story of the last living Druid, the novel places various mythologies, focusing on the Celtic of course, in the present day. Remarkably, the author incorporates them so easily that it almost doesn't read like fantasy. The plot includes twists and turns to keep you guessing, and certain characters were written ambiguously enough that I couldn't predict what their next move would be in the conflict that makes up the plot. Additionally, how can you not love a book with a sausage-obsessed Irish wolfhound and well-written text that includes phrases like "hellish Creamsicle." I'm looking forward to seeing what happens next to our handsome baseball-loving elder Druid.
