Chronicle Toward Books Hammered (The Iron Druid Chronicles #3)
Thor, the Norse god of thunder, is worse than a blowhard and a bully—he’s ruined countless lives and killed scores of innocents. After centuries, Viking vampire Leif Helgarson is ready to get his vengeance, and he’s asked his friend Atticus O’Sullivan, the last of the Druids, to help take down this Norse nightmare.One survival strategy has worked for Atticus for more than two thousand years: stay away from the guy with the lightning bolts. But things are heating up in Atticus’s home base of Tempe, Arizona. There’s a vampire turf war brewing, and Russian demon hunters who call themselves the Hammers of God are running rampant. Despite multiple warnings and portents of dire consequences, Atticus and Leif journey to the Norse plain of Asgard, where they team up with a werewolf, a sorcerer, and an army of frost giants for an epic showdown against vicious Valkyries, angry gods, and the hammer-wielding Thunder Thug himself.

**3.5 stars**Ive enjoyed this series a lot: the mix of humor, action and mythology are lots of fun plus I also prefer men as main characters, especially if those books are told in the 1st person and I have to live in their heads. But something was missing in this book. I think we have reached a point where we need to know more about Atticus and I dont see that coming. Im not sure if this is intentional or if the author just hasnt developed Atticus' past properly. This is a man who has lived forHammered packed a lot of action into a short span of time, and I have to say it seems like Atticus has painted himself into a corner right now!
I think I'm having a small crush on Atticus O'Sullivan. These Iron Druid books provide the perfect blend of light-hearted fun, and some dark and serious moments. And I adore how Atticus is equal parts cheeky, cocky, charming and compassionate. He is my favourite urban fantasy lead character right now and I don't see that changing any time soon. As the title suggests, this volume is predominantly about the Norse pantheon, and in particular, Thor, as Atticus has to deliver upon his promise to the
I am not sure how I felt about this one. It was kind of clunky and forced in places. Not as good as book two that is for sure. I am totally into the magical fae stuff, the planes, Asgard, Thor etc but at times this bordered on silly. Having fish and chips with Jesus just got too surreal and whilst I had no issues with a Druid, a vampire and a werewolf walked into a bar together story, I thought the throw away lines in this were too thin.The battle with Thor at the end made up for it somewhat,
Another great book in this very readable series. My only criticism would be the absence for most of the story of Oberon because he is the source of most of the fun dialogue. However Atticus managed to keep laughs coming from time to time despite the fact that the book was generally pretty heavy. Lots of life forms died and there was some serious fighting going on. I am still intrigued by our young/ old main character and will be carrying on with the series asap.
There is little worthwhile or memorable. Of all the Iron Druid chronicles, this is one of my least favorites. 1 of 10 stars
i loved it. kinda sad over a certain someone.now for tricked.
