Commentary Toward Books Tricked (The Iron Druid Chronicles #4)
Druid Atticus O’Sullivan hasn’t stayed alive for more than two millennia without a fair bit of Celtic cunning. So when vengeful thunder gods come Norse by Southwest looking for payback, Atticus, with a little help from the Navajo trickster god Coyote, lets them think that they’ve chopped up his body in the Arizona desert.But the mischievous Coyote is not above a little sleight of paw, and Atticus soon finds that he’s been duped into battling bloodthirsty desert shapeshifters called skinwalkers. Just when the Druid thinks he’s got a handle on all the duplicity, betrayal comes from an unlikely source. If Atticus survives this time, he vows he won’t be fooled again. Famous last words.

Tricked opens with Atticuss spectacular death as foreseen by the Morrigan. Her prophesy was actually a deal that Atticus brokered with Coyote in the previous book, something readers/listeners were not privy to at that time. Coyote shifted to look like Atticus and then let the remaining, avenging Norse pantheon kill him, with the help of a few thunder gods. Now Atticus, Granuaile, and Oberon must move on, but first Atticus must fulfill his promise to help Coyote move some earth. Well, knowingAfter helping his vampire friend, Leif Helgarson to kill Thor in the last book, Atticus has Æsir on his back. Atticus decides to fake his death (in Tuba City, part of Navajo Nation in Arizona) by making a deal with Coyote -- and in return Coyote asks Atticus to create gold mine in massive sandstone, Tyende Mesa. Unfortunately, it is not an easy task because apparently Coyote has another trick up his sleeves -- there are skinwalkers livin' near the Mesa, and Atticus might need to 'take care' of
Fourth in the series and still going really well! Bonus in this one was lots of dialogue between Atticus and his canine companion. I love the humour. Occasionally I felt there was a bit too much explaining going on - I realise Atticus is teaching his student but I don't want to be taught as well! Nevertheless it is a very readable story with plenty of action and fun. On to the next one a.s.a.p.
This book is an improvement over the third one in my opinion, but not as good as the first two books in the series. I was glad to have Oberon the wolfhound back, being his usual goofy self. I was also glad to know a bit more about apprentice Granuaile and to get some background info on Atticus.I was sorry that Atticus and Leif ended up at odds with one anotherI will miss their Shakespeare quote battles and Atticus instructing the unwilling vampire on how to appear more modern, something which
Full review now posted!Original review can be found at Booknest.I just have to say, I love it when a series gets better and better with each new installment. And so far, that has been the case (at least in my opinion) with The Iron Druid Chronicles.Atticus OSullivan is on the lam with his Druidic apprentice and his faithful hound. The only way to stay safe is to convince the gods of all the pantheons that hes dead. Really, really dead. To accomplish this without actually dying, he gains the aid

Hel-la fun (see what I did there?)
