About this listen
For nearly two thousand years, there was only one Druid left walking the Earth - Atticus O'Sullivan, the Iron Druid, whose sharp wit and sharp sword kept him alive while pursued by a pantheon of hostile deities. Now he's got company. Atticus's apprentice Granuaile is finally a full Druid herself. What's more, Atticus has defrosted an archdruid long ago frozen in time, a father figure (of sorts) who now goes by the modern name Owen Kennedy. And Owen has some catching up to do.
Atticus takes pleasure in the role reversal, as the student is now the teacher. Between busting Atticus's chops and trying to fathom a cell phone, Owen must also learn English. For Atticus, the jury's still out on whether the wily old coot will be an asset in the epic battle with Norse god Loki - or merely a pain in the arse. As the trio of Druids deals with pestilence-spreading demons, bacon-loving yeti, fierce flying foxes, and frenzied Fae, they're hoping that this time...three's a charm.

©2014 Kevin Hearne (P)2014 Hachette AudioI downloaded the Audible narration to listen to Shattered as well as reading. However, I ended up listening to the whole thing rather than reading it. Christopher Ragland’s performance was once again outstanding. He transports me into each and every adventure. The pace at which he reads the story and the emotions he adds to the different scenes are perfect. I love the different accents he gives each character – his performance brings them all to life. Christopher doesn't have as wide an array of female voices as male ones. However, that's understandable and doesn't diminish his obvious talent. I knew straight away whose head we were in for the different chapters and didn't get lost in any of the conversational dialogue.
While I’m talking about the characters, I must say how much I love them all in this series. They’re complex, written with their own tales and histories. It makes each one feel real and believable. I love how much Granuaile is featuring now. We get whole adventures and chapters from her perspective in this book. I also really liked the onerous druid, Owen and liked his opposing views. Oberon, Atticus’ faithful Irish Wolfhound is still the BEST. He just lights up my heart in every scene he’s in.
Although the story was fast-paced it never felt rushed. We never had more information than our protagonists. Therefore we journeyed with them, never really knowing when or where the next problem would occur or the next attack would strike. I loved that I spent most of my time on the edge of my seat.
Shattered is the seventh book in the Iron Druid Chronicles so a lot has happened so far. However, Kevin does a good job of weaving any pertinent information into the story seamlessly. I didn’t notice any detrimental effects to the flow or pace.
The next book in this incredible series is Staked and I can’t wait to see what trials and adventures Atticus, Granuaile, Owen and the hounds have to face next!
Mystery, Tyranny and Murder. Totally Gripping!

If you could sum up Shattered in three words, what would they be?
Great, well listened, Well readWho was your favorite character and why?
@ArchdruidOwen is just great and the way he was read and pronounced was just awesomeWhat does Christopher Ragland bring to the story that you wouldn’t experience if you had only read the book?
He does great voiceover which I enjoyed all the time, his voice change for each main character was errorless. (Only Oberon being annoying as hell)Was this a book you wanted to listen to all in one sitting?
Yes, no way as it is over 10 hours...Great experience
