Fred reviewed Shattered by Kevin Hearne
Review of 'Shattered' on 'Goodreads'
5 stars
Three gods, two Druids and a selkie walk into a bar...
This book is so powder! As usual, we're thrown right into the action and it doesn't really let up. What I found particularly brilliant was the recap at the beginning of the book, quickly explaining what happened in the previous six books in the series. The pronunciation guide is very welcome, too. But seriously, Scáthmhaide as the name of a staff? I forgot how to pronounce that pretty fast. Each chapter also starts with a small graphic showing from whose point of view the chapter will be from. Wolfhound for Atticus, horse for Granuaile and so on. Oberon now has a partner in crime in Orlaith and I'm looking forward to how much trouble they're bound to get into in future books!
Anyway, my only 'complaint' is that it's "only" 336 pages and I reached the end far too …

Oh, did I mention there are rakshasas? Lots and lots of rakshasas.
