Hammered (The Iron Druid Chronicles, #3)

I am not sure how I felt about this one. It was kind of clunky and forced in places. Not as good as book two that is for sure. I am totally into the magical fae stuff, the planes, Asgard, Thor etc but at times this bordered on silly. Having fish and chips with Jesus just got too surreal and whilst I had no issues with a Druid, a vampire and a werewolf walked into a bar together story, I thought the throw away lines in this were too thin.
The battle with Thor at the end made up for it somewhat, the last quarter of the book was actually hard to put down. Certainly had surprised at the ending as I was expecting some deus ex machina event.
I'll stick with the series as it is about to enter a new era, but hope to get back into the four star scoring.

"hmmm, brewski's with Jesus and plans to kill Thor. This story is drifting a little bit towards silliness."

I remember feeling some plot lines were a bit silly too, but that is part of why I like this series. It's light & humorous urban fantasy which is a nice break sometimes...
Yeah me to Missy, I have loved the light banter. I just felt there were scenes with Jesus, with Thor and his Posse where the author just tried too hard to make it light. I dunno, maybe he was just trying to do it without offended his Christian fans and fill in the story. Because compared to his other books, the plot in this was very light. It was fleshed out with additional characters and back stories.
I've been keeping an eye out for Hounded and Storm Front at my used store for awhile now but people must like to hold onto them.
