Reddit reviews Hounded (Iron Druid Chronicles)

The Chronicles of Amber
Lord Demon
This Immortal
The Iron Druid series is about an immortal druid.
Incarnations of Immortality series though the main characters aren't strictly immortal.

You might like the Iron Druid Chronicles. Effectively immortal main character + bonus Irish wolfhound in a modern setting. The first one is Hounded.

its not greek mythology its mostly celtic mythology and a blend of others myths/folk tales, the iron druid chronicles. its really good. probably a more adult then percy jackson, but equally as good

I will second The Lies of Locke Lamora (part of the Gentleman Bastard series) as an excellent choice.

If you like Percy Jackson because it is fantasy mixed with the real world (i.e. urban fantasy genre) you might like The Dresden Files or the Iron Druid Chronicles

You might also look at branching into historical fiction, maybe? There are a lot of books using real historical military campaigns as backgrounds that are very entertaining - if that is of any interest to you, start with The Gates of Fire by Steven Pressfield.

It was actually a work of fiction that opened my eyes to heathenry and the idea of old gods existing. The series is called The Iron Druid Chronicles. Not sure if it's what you're looking for, but if it is and you don't mind a bit of poetic license (obviously)...
It's an urban fantasy series taking place in modern times and features a 2,100 year old shape-shifting, plane-walking druid, a hilarious talking dog, several pantheons (obviously as a Druid the Celtic pantheon is featured the most, but the Norse are also featured heavily), and lots of other adventurous things you'd expect in a fantasy series.
If you want to check it out I actually suggest going the audiobook route instead of the book route because the narration is fantastic. I've both listened and read but the narration just brought everything to life more than my imagination could. http://www.amazon.com/Hounded-Druid-Chronicles-Kevin-Hearne/dp/0345522478

I'm a fan of both the Monster Hunter series and the Iron Druid Chronicles.


Both help me get my Modern Fantasy fix while waiting for more Dresden Files.

Aww love! Sorry the day went bad... But hey, it's almost time for sleeps, right?

Link to a book in a series I need to start.

If you want another Dresden-like book series, check out the Iron Druid series by Kevin Hearne. I'd say they are almost sue-ably similar. Main character is flippant and sarcastic, but also honorable and relies heavily on improvisation. I think these would be exactly what you're looking for.

I can also second the suggestion for Weeks' new Lightbringer series.

For your Night Angel fix, I recently read and loved Blood Song. The author is fairly new, but the book is absolutely solid and wonderful.

Another good book series is the Kingkiller Chronicles.

I'll stop the list there before I get carried away. But I think Iron Druid and Blood Song will be spot on as far as similarity. The other two are books I think you'll really enjoy, but aren't necessarily as similar.

The Dresden Files Book 1

The Iron Druid Chronicles Book 1

I have lots more, just ask for a genre.

Afternoon, all!

QOTD: Probably the Iron Druid series or the Breakthrough series.
