This was a somewhat disappointing end to the Iron Druid Chronicles. This is the ninth, and final, book in a series that should have ended a couple books ago.
I listened to this on audiobook (I have listened to most of this series on audiobook). It is generally well done; however the voices for Atticus and Granuaile are too much the same...so it's hard to remember who is talking sometimes. Some of the other voices are over-characterized; for example Owen and Starbuck actually made me cringe a bit when they were talking.
The story jumps between Atticus, Granuaile, and Owen; each of them have a part to play in the final battle against Loki and Hel.
This book just seemed very piecemeal...like it was just going through the actions needed to tie up the story. It was a very dis-satisfying ending. I feel like this series started going downhill a bit with Book 6 and just kept decreasing in quality from there.
Overall, I guess read this if you want to tie-up the series but don't expect much from it. I am happy the series is over, but wish it would have ended a few books ago when it was still well-written and I still enjoyed it.
