The third installment in Kevin Hearne's Iron Druid Chronicles, Hammered, begins with Atticus' attempt to quietly steal one of Idun's apples as payment for a favor received in the previous book going horribly awry and leaving Ratatoskr and the Norns both dead. Despite warnings from Jesus, he puts his affairs in order and sets out to keep his promise to Leif to take him and four others to Asgard in order it kill Thor. Naturally, Atticus should have listened to Jesus because things again do not only go according to plan.
Not quite as strong as the first two books, Hammered
dragged a bit at times, and I felt like a 2000 year old druid should be able to avoid some of the mistakes that occurred. Overall, it was still an enjoyable adventure. 4 stars.
