About this listen

Over a million copies of the Iron Druid books sold

Kevin Hearne creates the ultimate Atticus O'Sullivan adventure in the grand finale of the New York Times best-selling Iron Druid Chronicles.

Unchained from fate, the Norse gods Loki and Hel are ready to unleash Ragnarok, aka the Apocalypse, upon the earth. With a whole host of dark allies on their side, there's a globe-spanning battle on the cards - one which Druid Atticus O'Sullivan will be hard-pressed to survive, much less win.

Atticus must recruit the aid of an Indian witch and a trickster god in hopes that they'll give him just enough leverage to both save Gaia and see another sunrise. After all, if the world ends, who's going to make sure the hound Oberon gets his well-deserved snack?

Amazing story!

Wonderful ending to an amazing series.

Very disappointed with the narrator. Have followed this series with Luke Daniels and feel a little robbed with the new narrator. He did a good job, but I felt tried to be too like Luke Daniels and missed the mark on a lot of pronunciations and accents. Probably would have been better to try something new.

It wrapped it all up... sort of

Would you say that listening to this book was time well-spent? Why or why not?

Yes because this is the last book in a series and you have to finish the series. But the change in reader was really hard to deal with.

What do you think your next listen will be?

The Land book 4 by Aleron Kong.

What do you think the narrator could have done better?

It is difficult to say, the first 8 books were read by Luke Daniels then they changed the last book to Christopher Ragland and it really took you out of the story. Many of the character were voice different in tone, pitch, accent and speed.

If this book were a movie would you go see it?

I would not go to a movie of this book it would make no sense without the first 8 books included or in a series of movies.

Any additional comments?

I will buy this book again if it is record again with Luke Daniels, I value his performance as much as the book itself.

LUUUUUUUKE... I AM YOUR LISTENER!!!

I don’t get it... why change narrator for the last book in a series of 9 books? Am I being dumb?

I can’t listen to this... Luke is Adicus, Oberon et al... what a disappointment

Disappointing end and shock change of narrator

Disappointing end to a series that began so well and reached some rip roaring heights of fun and excitement before gradually beginning to fall apart in the last few books. Having the characters work on different plot lines all over the world and only come together to check in and play with the hounds, just did not work. May as well have been a series of separate books following just one character all the way through, because it became disjointed and continuity was lost.

Granauile never seemed as realistic or interesting to me as others, whereas I definitely appreciated Owen Kennedy, he was a breath of fresh air and certainly added to enjoyment.The finale could have concentrated in getting them all together much earlier on rather than still tying up so many loose ends or introducing new characters like the Monkey God and the weird bubble tea.

I appreciate the fact that the writer is a strong supporter of the environment but to beat this drum so obviously and so often in this last book didn't feel right at all. The fact that they are Druids, devoted to care of Gaia, Mother Earth herself, and explaining and showing as the various stories unfolded was sufficient.

The final ending was fitting and, without spoiling, am sorry that Atticus was set up at the very beginning as the instigator of the act that rightly shocked. Of course he should be blamed, but while his impetuousness and lack of thinking about consequences is true to form and acceptable, that was out of character and no way near to the legend.

As a devoted fan of Atticus and Oberon I will continue to listen again to many of the earlier adventures which can virtually stand alone. Just sad that the series ended this way.

I have loved the work of Luke Daniels, narrator of every single book I listened to so far, who gave the perfect voice to each character and made them come alive. Then, Audible.com suddenly changes all it's US versions to narrator Christopher Ragland and I have no chance of getting the UK version with Luke Daniels. A very able narrator and if you now listen to all of them read by him it will be fine. But this also spoiled the last book for me as the characters did not ring true in the way I had come to know them.

Pretty crap disappointing cop out conclusion

I was disappointed with this linear rushed feeling book. Many parts felt forced. I liked this series, and this book lets the rest down.
