Get Hexed!

Turned in my résumé project yesterday and started in on Hexed, the next Iron Druid book, as soon as I got off work.  My brother came over around 7 (more about that later), so I didn't get to pick it up again until an hour ago.  

I canNOT believe HBO didn't pick up on these books when True Blood was winding down.  There's lots of nudity, dangerous/scary goddess sex, porn-star looking witches, and a funny dog!  What more could you ask for?  I'm at the part where Atticus is fighting the German witches, half of whom are pregnant with demonspawn, and he's just decapitated one, losing half an ear in the process.  I'm getting a new project tomorrow, so I need to finish this tonight and not start the next one-- I seriously cannot put these down.

Talk about Mythic--Kevin Hearne Has Got it All--and a Druid!

In between writing my résumé and waiting to get my critical analysis back, I've been re-reading Kevin Hearne's funny Iron Druid books.  After all the work I did on my paper, it's good to see that the myth criticism approach really does work even when you aren't trying to do it!  Of course, Hearne is using actual myths (and creating new ones), both the classical and the little-known, so it shouldn't be surprising that I can pick out all sorts of monomyth elements and characteristics of the archetypes in the stories.  

Anyway, if you haven't read them, you ought to give them a try, if only for the mind-to-mind conversations between Atticus (the hero) and Oberon (his dog).  Hilarious dialogue!
