Executive Summary: More of the same. If you enjoyed the first book, you'll likely enjoy this one. If like me you were kind of so-so on the first one, you may feel the same way here as well.Audio book: Mr. Daniels once again does a decent job. I think I've gotten used to his normal reading voice such that it didn't bother me in this book. He again does a few accents and voices, including his excellent take on Oberon.Full ReviewI wasn't really planning on jumping further into this series after being mostly underwhelmed by [b:Hounded 9533378 Hounded (The Iron Druid Chronicles, #1) Kevin Hearne https://d202m5krfqbpi5.cloudfront.net/books/1327883998s/9533378.jpg 14419515]. However Audible, the length of the book and my reading schedule all colluded to get me to do this one.I found it about on par with the first. It's possible I liked it a little less. It's hard to say for sure. I think your opinion on the first book will largely determine your opinion of this one.It started too slow again for such a short book and had a lot of seemingly random elements introduced that eventually all tied together.Oberon who found as the highlight of book 1 was already starting to annoy me by this book. His constant obsessions and stupid jokes felt repetitive. Maybe I'm simply spoiled by the excellent humor of the Dresden Files, but I just didn't really find his role of comic relief very good.It's possible that this series isn't for me. They aren't bad books, but they aren't great and there is plenty of other stuff to read.These books do have a light quick nature to them that can make for a quick time filler or diversion for heavier/darker reading, but I'll likely be taking a break unless Audible has another sale, or I decide to see if I can borrow the next audio book from my library sometime.
