Another writer of fantasy immortals has again fallen down into boring convention.I've read a lot of science fiction and fantasy and honestly, next to no author can write a realistic immortal or near immortal character. I've only found like maybe one or two authors who can.Kevin Hearne is not one of them.Convention:Immortal/near immortal characters, despite having lived for thousands of years, still can't think their way out of a paper bag, still make impulsive decisions, still have emotions typical of a Jersey Shore reality TV show cast member. They've gained little wisdom over the centuries, and learned nothing in their thousands of years except how to fight with weapons really really well.I'd hoped Kevin Hearne would be different, but no, slowly over the last 2 books, he's made Atticus his "Marty Stu". Atticus is his wish projection of himself. He even looks like him - take a look at Hearne's author picture.If Atticus stopped taking his Immortali Tea, he would look like Anna Nicole Smith's 90 year old ex-husband, except 200 times worse. Only magic keeps him looking like a young surfer dude. Regardless of how he looks, he SHOULD have the wisdom, caution and understanding of someone who reached maturity and wisdom ages ago.Humans can reach this level in less than 1/5 the time Atticus has lived.So why is Hearne writing him like he's a horny teenager? He only LOOKS like one, he isn't one. Why is Atticus all but panting over Granuaile like a virginal 15 year old? I got so sick of his mental 'battle' to not 'give in' when you knew damn well he would.I'd hoped for better, that Hearne would not allow his Atticus to fall to the typical convention of every other writer.Ye gods, even John Wayne was so embarrassed at being 24 years older than one of his leading ladies in one of his movies that he stopped agreeing to being cast as a romantic lead. Now THAT is the correct attitude of a mature and wise man who knows he looks ridiculous chasing after women young enough to be his daughter.Atticus salivating over Granuaile is just disgusting.He's old enough to be her great grand father dozens of times over. He should be wise enough to know better, but no, despite the line between teacher and student, he makes sure she knows he's lusting over her so she'll fall in the sack with him as soon as she 'graduates'. Which she does, and Hearne makes sure the readers know they did it full time for 3 days with a dog watching and making commentary. Gag.SO disappointing to know, even in the magical world, when a old coot like Atticus uses magic to make himself look younger, he still prefers REAL young women, and not wise women his own age who use magic to make themselves look younger. Guess he doesn't like the mental competition? Probably, since Atticus never tires of conversations about sausages or poodles with Oberon, which I grew tired of 3 books ago.Just goes to show, for some men, no matter how old - real world or fantasy - there is no place for older women.In Hearne's world of Atticus, there are only ancient men who only look young and real hot young women. Ancient women witches who make themselves look young - like Atticus does - are looked on with disgust and real old women are treated like grandma. There is no inbetween.Atticus SHOULD be attracted to wise women of his own generation who are also magic users and do what he does so they have something in common. Granuaile is a child compared to him. I'm hoping Hearne is trying to point that out by making 30 something year old Granuaile act like a 19 year old in this story. She's "Oh, wow"ing and "That's incredible..." like a high school graduate who just went to Europe. She also pouts, and is a braggart fighter (Hearne has her beating gods in matches when they've had centuries of practice and her less than 12 years. Yeah riiiiiiiiight.)How nice it would have been to see them settle into a real partnership based on mutual respect and for Granuaile to come into her own wisdom and to be sophisticated and discerning and to have found lovers her own age along the way and for Atticus to have encouraged that without offering himself up as a potential partner.But nope. Old grandpappy goes after MUCH younger woman and wins her. Yuck. Just yuck.Ever see the movie "American Beauty"? Middle aged character Lester spends much of the movie lusting over underage teenage high school cheerleader Angela. He lusts over her so much, she notices and flirts with him outrageously. At a key point in the movie, she finally gives in and his reaction? Does he do an Atticus and spend 3 days in bed with her?Nope. Lester comes to his senses and realizes she's a child compared to him - and he gently, fatherly, tells her to get dressed and to leave.Wish Atticus had done that.So I gave a couple of stars for the world Hearne has created. It is compelling. But his two main characters - one of them supposedly thousands of years old - have devolved. Atticus the character is no longer interesting. We used to be able to see the modern world through his older eyes, now he's basically any modern guy you'd meet on the street who can do magick. Hearne might as well have made him 25 years old. He acts like one.Hearne writes Granuaile - a 30+ year old woman - like a college girl on Spring Break. He seems unable to write a woman character where her primary qualities are NOT her looks. What do we know about Granuaile? She's a red head barmaid with quite a rack that Atticus - and most male characters in the books - are looking forward to seeing.You know a little bit about her father and her Midwest mother, but that's pretty much it. That's all the characterization we get of her.So, Hearne writes Granuaile as a hot bar girl. In this book Granuaile pouts and gives Atticus the silent treatment for about 2 chapters before coming clean with what's bothering her.Her problem? She's upset that all the ancient gods she's meeting are not like Jesus.Really.Atticus has supposedly been training her for 12 years. Training her on what? Obviously not anything like ancient myths or comparative religions. She's clueless to Paganism 101 - that the majority of ancient pagan gods had nothing to do with being a role model for mortals. The ancients had morals and ethics but those concepts had little to do with their religions. That's the hardest thing a modern person converting to paganism from Christianity has to get their mind around. 12 years in, Atticus never has mentioned this to his apprentice.Not sure I want to continue the series. Atticus is now a disappointing dirty old man and Granuaile is not clever or interesting.
This is book 5, you need to read the previous books for the full world building. Twelve years have passed and it's time for someone to be bound to the earth, and of course it's not going to be easy. Many adventures occur and much traveling by our Druids is done. There are lots of complaints that Atticus is 2100 years old and he should grow up, you have to remember that most of all his years were spent quietly tending to the earth, not getting into trouble. It's only been recently that he made a bad decision that has snowballed into his own form of hell. If he had questioned some of his choices, or really thought about what this God/godless is going to get out of the deal they present to give him help, he may not be running for his life so much. Now it's cleaning up his messes that he has made while trying to keep the end of the world at bay, and it's quite a ride. Granuaile and Oberon give him company and backup to take care of business in a humorous, and clear thinking plan of action, and not too many guesses who is after him in Hunted.
I've enjoyed the Chronicles so far, except this book. I think Hearne has given in to power creep for his characters, which makes then less interesting and Granuaile is now written as if Hearne was writing a female character back in the 60's... she's tough because she's all emotional and mysteriously upset at things... ya know... like women always behave (all emotion). ... very disappointing. That whole animosity with the Norse that was set up over the past couple of books?... meh... resolved by a brief mention of an event that occurred 'off stage'.. to me, that's lazy writing and story telling. I'm hoping this isn't the beginning of suck...One last thing: If you're a gamer, the best way to decribe Granuaile's character in this book: The player of Granuile is clearly the DMs girlfriend.
After having read the previous book in the series, Tricked, I was almost at the point of giving up on this series. The reason I did not was because I quite liked the first two instalments in the series and I really do not like to drop a series in the middle of things and thus rarely do it. This book is an improvement over the previous one. I am happy for this of course but, as you might deduce from the above, I do not really consider it a major feat and it just brings the book up to an average level as far as I am concerned.Oberon and his chatting with Atticus is still quite funny and in this book Granuaile becomes part of the conversation, sometimes with rather hilarious results. That really annoying jerk Coyote is gone from the picture which was not a moment too soon and there is none of that ridiculous hail to wind power and sabotage coal mines nonsense. Atticus also does kick quite a bit of behinds in this book and it sure does not lack action.Unfortunately, Atticus is still not behaving anywhere near what one would except from a 2000+ year old druid. He is rash, immature and his decision making skills leaves much to be desired. I am not sure if this is purely intentional by the author or he, given the generally TV-show/Comics magazine level of the story, is simply unable to bring the kind of sophistication that one would expect from such a character to the story.The first two books were much more down to earth and not so much over-the-top than this one is. Most of the supporting characters where humans or at least “simple†supernatural beings like witches, vampires and werewolves. Now almost everyone we encounter in the book is a superhuman deity of some kind. In addition, most of them behave like total jerks. To me this drags down the book a lot. Also he kills off and disposes of said deities like there was no tomorrow. I do not like that too much either. Gods are persistent objects in the mythological universe to me and killing them off left right and center is what you would expect from a cheap (or even some expensive ones) Hollywood script.I do not think that I am spoiling things too much when I write that Granuaile finally does get bound to the earth and becomes a druid. She has also been well trained and picked up some bad-[censored] fighting skills. I quite liked this.On the not liked side I have to say that the reference to CERN’s Large Hadron Collider when discussing philosophical matters and deities was just silly although as an engineer at CERN I might of course be a bit biased on this. In any case I think the author should give up on the philosophical matters. He do not seem to have the skills to make these kind of discussions particularly interesting.On the whole though this book was a much needed improvement over the previous instalment and brought me back from almost-about-to-quit to good-enough-to-read-one-more-of.
