Atticus O'Sullivan is a 2100 year old Druid, the last of his kind. He lives in Arizona with his dog (whom he talks to) and his problem is that he has a big beef with a god over an ancient sword.

The story is as exciting as it sounds, but my main problem is of course, that Atticus is over 2000 years old. Nothing phases him. All kinds of magical creatures want him dead, but he doesn't care as much as he should because he's seen some shit. This made it hard for me to really get invested in the book, even if it was enjoyable enough (and sometimes laugh-out-loud funny). He's also pretty powerful with some powerful friends, and I never really felt there was anything at stake.

Oberon is pretty cool though, even if the narrator's voice for him was kind of over the top sometimes that it was sometimes hard to take seriously.
