![]() ![]() There are two skinwalkers there, killing people and generally being terrible, and guess who Coyote thinks will take care of them.Īside from any story featuring skinwalkers scaring the crap out of me, I really enjoyed all of this. ![]() Only, the spot seems to have been chosen with care. ![]() He tells Atticus he needs help opening a gold mine on the Navajo reservation, which would involve Atticus asking the Colorado elemental to actually move gold to the place Coyote has chosen. Only thing is, Coyote played a significant (and painful) role in the faking, so now they owe him a huge favor, and he’s cashing in right away. Here, we’ve got Atticus and his apprentice Granuaile on the run, both of them having newly faked their deaths (well, Atticus fakes his death starting on page one, and Granuaile’s comes mid-book) so that the Norse gods and all of the other pantheons who have it out for Atticus will leave them along long enough for Atticus to take the twelve years necessary to train Granuaile into a new druid. That’s usually when you’ve got enough set-up and characters that you can start moving the pieces around in more interesting ways, and building on what you’ve already laid out. The urban fantasy I’ve read all start to crystallize around books three and four. I’m happy to say this was the best of these books yet. ![]()
