Here’s another book that was refreshingly different. This is an urban fantasy with a male lead. I really enjoyed its take on the various pantheons of the world. Atticus is Irish, so his pantheon is represented, but every pantheon is actually there to some degree.
Atticus is the last Druid. Due to a deal with the Morrigan, he’s been alive for around two thousand years, and he’s ended up in Phoenix, Arizona. (The lack of gods as well as the fae in the area is a big factor here.) He’s been trying to avoid Aenghus Og because of the small matter of a stolen, enchanted sword. Unfortunately, time’s up on that.
This has a great cast of characters. Some of the urban fantasy stalwarts are there, but with a nice twist. And Oberon, Atticus’ Irish wolfhound, who can talk to Atticus, is the best. Definitely looking forward to reading more of these.
