The end of the series

Reviewed in the United States 🇺🇸 on September 17, 2022

Verified Purchase

To start I have to say that I have absolutely loved this series, five star all the way. However, on the last book, it was like the writer just ran down. I felt that Ragnoroc was rushed through and I absolutely hated the ending. SPOILER ALERT. Our hero lost almost everything and we are sort of left hanging with sorrow for him. I hate to take issue with the writer's thinking here. It's his character and his series but c'mon, Mr. Hearne, what the hell? Ending on such a down note is just sour. I get enough of those endings in real life. Finding peace? Not really when the character has all those guilt ferrets and might have beens. Going on with the Morrigan would have even been better than that. He is left diminished at the end just like all other humans are in old age, and I'm here to tell you old age sucks. I object to my heroes winding up in the muck of old age just like the rest of us. Anyway enough said, the series was wonderful; I just didn't like the end. The short story shows him forging on but doesn't remove the sting of that ending.

I was so mad at the end I almost didn’t read the added story and I’m happy I did cause it helped resolve my rage at the ending I didn’t like.

I felt Scourged

Reviewed in the United States 🇺🇸 on April 6, 2018

Verified Purchase

Please do not try to read Scourged without reading all the books, short stories and novellas in the series. It is a banquet and should be enjoyed from start to finish.

Scourged is not a happy go lucky title and the plot of this book is not either. But Jesus foreshadowed that in Hammered. The plot is tightly written and the story rich as it seeks to wrap up lose ends from the series. Some folks have thought it was too short, but I think it is no longer than needed for Mr. Hearne to say what he wanted.

I believe that authors are the final authority on their story and characters. We readers are passengers who get to go along for the ride. What a wonderful ride the Iron Druid Chronicles has been!

Scourged has some incredible sacrifices required of characters. There are some Gods of certain pantheons that need to be sent to bed without dinner or grog. You so called Gods need to look in the mirror more often when assigning blame to others.

I felt Owen grew so much in this book from when we first met him. I am hoping that we get to read more about his young apprentices in future books. I want to see how they turn out. I am also hoping for more Oberon Meaty Mysteries with Oberon and Starbuck fighting crime and getting gravy.

When I finished Scourged, I was crying and angry over the of actions and attitude of a character. Frankly I want to turn this person over my knee for being such a selfish immature child. I never want to read about this person again unless it is about suffering and loss; you threw away something precious that you never deserved.

There is another whom I want comfort and befriend. The bar and costs were always set too high for you. I hope you find the peace that you talked about.

Throughout the series, Mr. Hearn has given us interesting and inspirational viewpoints on life. I enjoy his prose. As some other reviewers have mentioned, I did miss the humor in the earlier books. However, Scourged is about a possible end of the world, so there is not much room for levity.

I would like to give Luke Daniels who is the performer of the Audible book a standing ovation. Listening to Scourged brought the characters to life. I loved the voice for a brand-new character.

May harmony find each of us.

My goodness. What a series... and slomo!

Reviewed in the United States 🇺🇸 on June 1, 2018

Spoliers ahead....I can only say without giving anything away... I love this series. It kept me wanting more. I miss it already. Each character had such a weight to them. The ending, well maybe I hoping for more 'harmony' between Atticus and the rest. But it felt real the way it ended. I do think that if long life was not an option Atticus and grainualle would have tried to work through the difficulties instead of walking away. Different perspective on life I guess. I wish I could have met the puppies. But Kevin did mention he might make a spin off with the apprentices in the future. Each book has been a rollercoaster with lots of winding turns and loopdeloops. Should this ever become a TV show or movie. I hope they do it justice. I could totally see this on syfy or cow. But I'm not sure those writers can give it the weight it needs. Perhaps hbo or stars might carry it better. I just want to meet Atticus in person and oberon and starbuck. Mostly oberon and starbuck. To get to talk to them or any dog would be a wonderous experience. Slomo too. :) while I'm surprised by certain deaths and intros for random characters in far away places... thinking back now that I know the whole story. It might have played out different if Atticus hadn't tried to thief that apple and just asked nicely and offered trade. Quit making promises you can't necessarily keep. Hey may have still had problems with baccus and fans but ragnorak could have at least been avoided. Because he wouldn't have had to sneak that group into asgard to kill thor. They could have spoken and set challenge. But I guess that just shows you that we don't think things through and just hope for the best and blame someone else. For example he kept giving his enemies names of other people or saying he was from another realm. I guess two thousand years on the run teaches you bad habits. This was such a well written and engaging story that I kind of want to live there. Even though the danger is more than terrifying visual.

Mediocre end to a great series

Reviewed in the United Kingdom 🇬🇧 on April 5, 2018

Verified Purchase

Up until now I've been a huge fan of the Iron Druid books. I regarded Kevin Hearne as my favourite UF author, displacing Jim Butcher during his long hiatus away from the Dresden Files. This book has reversed the situation again. I've bought every book in this series as both Kindle and Audible editions but now I find myself not wanting to bother with the audiobook for Scourged.

It's not a terrible story and it does wrap everything up with a dose of justice and a smidgeon of hope for the future as endings should. It just felt all the way through from its overly-introspective sections, through the un-coordinated and un-epic feel of the battles, to the abrupt and unsatisfying ending that this was written, not from a love of the story and the characters, but to get the arc closed and out of the way so that the author can move on to his two new series.

Very disappointing conclusion to a great series

Reviewed in the United Kingdom 🇬🇧 on April 6, 2018

Verified Purchase

I was excited for the concluding volume to the Iron Druid Chronicles - but this was an extremely disappointing read.

This book appears more a detailed plot outline than a finished novel. Events happen at a rushed pace, as if ticking off a checklist of plot points that Atticus must resolve. Meanwhile Owen & Granuaile are off having cameo adventures with barely any connection to the main narrative - although at least there is some entertaining humour here.

The frenetic pace comes at the cost of characterisation - all the characters feel like pale imitations of their previous book selves. As a result there is very little emotional impact.

Even the big climax of the story fails to engage in any meaningful way and I was left thinking "Is that it?"

This book feels very different to all the others in the series - again it's more like a first draft than a polished, complete end to the chronicles. I wonder if perhaps the author was rushed by the publisher to finish it, or as others suggest maybe he's lost interest in the characters?

Clearly fans of the series will read this anyway for completeness - and I don't regret knowing how it ends - but this is not a good book.

Is it genuine

Reviewed in the United Kingdom 🇬🇧 on October 9, 2018

Verified Purchase

The characters are the same and the storyline is basically the same but I found myself wondering if he got someone else to write the book. This book does not flow or have the same feel or rhythm that all the previous books have. It's as if the author has given the story to someone else to complete and he's said pretend you are me. Well it hasn't worked. The characters are dead. There is no humour. There is no life in them. I loved all the previous books but this one; Kevin Hearne needs to withdraw it and rewrite it himself.

Poor final story

Reviewed in the United Kingdom 🇬🇧 on May 2, 2018

Verified Purchase

Rather dissapointed. Honestly its like hes tried to tie up all the loose ends in one book and single handedly failed to adequately achieve any of them! The ending is frankly depressing and totally undeserved by poor Atticus, Granuille is both underused and more than a little annoying here, and theres all sorts of characters who deserve a little come uppence dont get it! The sole saving grace really is Oberon and a talking sloth. Also his new series is AWFUL so im not sure why he felt he had to rush finishing this one.
