I enjoy Kevin Heaven’s writings. I loved the Iron Druid series, so when I heard that something was coming in that universe, i was ready and hopeful.
This is a spectacular expansion of his universe that the Iron Druid lives in.
Some of the best bits were little things, like a recognition of pronouns and when being introduced asking what pronouns to use or a dig at pedantic ‘clip’ vs ‘magazine’ gun owners, and tons of other funny little moments weaved amongst a great story set in Scotland.
Looking forward to more of them
