In addition to Atticus and his relationship with Oberon, Hounded also features a cast of well-developed supporting characters. The setting of modern-day Arizona also adds an interesting twist to the story, as Atticus must navigate the challenges of living in the modern world while also trying to keep his true identity hidden. The relationship between Atticus and Oberon is heart-warming and adds a layer of depth to the story. The world-building in Hounded is also impressive, with Hearne incorporating various pantheons and mythological creatures into the story in a seamless and believable way. Atticus has a deep bond with his Irish wolfhound, Oberon, who serves as his loyal companion and has the ability to communicate telepathically with him. Then there is the portrayal of diverse and complex relationships. The narrative is fast-paced and engaging, and the plot is well-constructed, with several twists and turns that keep the reader guessing until the very end. The characters, especially Atticus, are well-developed and likable, and the action scenes are intense and well-written. The book is also full of humour, with Atticus's sarcastic wit and the absurd situations he finds himself in providing plenty of laughs. Hearne does an excellent job of incorporating various pantheons and mythological creatures into the story, while still keeping it grounded in the contemporary world. I loved Hounded's unique blend of mythology and modernity. Atticus must outsmart and outfight his pursuers, including the beautiful and deadly pagan goddess, Flidais, while also trying to maintain his cover as a regular human. The sword is the only thing standing between him and Aenghus Óg, who wants to use it to achieve godhood and take over the world. His peaceful life is turned upside down when he is visited by a group of thugs hired by the Celtic god of love and fertility, Aenghus Óg, to retrieve an ancient sword that Atticus possesses. The story begins with Atticus, who has managed to keep his true identity and magical abilities hidden from the world for centuries, running his occult bookshop and tending to his ancestral grove. Hounded is the first book in Kevin Hearne's Iron Druid Chronicles, a series of urban fantasy novels that follow the adventures of Atticus O'Sullivan, a 2,000-year-old druid living in modern-day Arizona.
