Paper & Blood by Kevin Hearne

5.0

Kevin Hearne has done it again. He's written an incredibly addicting, action-packed adventure that somehow still manages to be full of well-rounded characters for the reader to connect with. And we even get a collab adventure with Iron Druid and his hounds!
Scottish sigil agent Al MacBharrais is still trying to figure out who cursed him when he finds out that two other sigil agents have disappeared in Australia. This is how an adventure full of magic, monsters, and revelations begins. Buk Foi, Nadia, and Gladys Who Has Seen Some Shite are back, along with some great new characters, the always fan favorite Iron Druid and his hounds, and a very unexpected return.
I'm honestly afraid to get into the story for fear of ruining some of the great surprises it holds, so I'm just going to say that it's an epic adventure with lots of action, even more surprises, and incredibly creative writing.
You don't need to have read the Iron Druid or the first book in the series to enjoy it, but I do think being at least familiar with the Iron Druid chronicles will add to the enjoyment.

Many extremely happy thanks to NetGalley and Del Rey Books for the early read!
