A very short story showing how Atticus's apprentice is tested by the goddesses to ensure she is fit to continue her druid training. It was ok but really too short to add much to the continuing story.

This was great! I loved reading this book from Granuaile's perspective.

It was nice to read something in the Iron Druid universe that a) wasn't inside Atticus's head, and b) told us more about his apprentice, which we know little enough about, other than that Atticus finds her to be as intelligent as he finds her to be sexy. Don't mistake this three-star review for a drop in quality, it just wasn't long and substantial enough to warrant a "love it!" ranking. It is definitely a must read for anyone that's read the novels in the series, as it gives insight into Granuaile's training while Atticus is off in Asgard.

It was nice that Hearne made an attempt to give Granuaile a voice but it kind of fell flat for me. It wasn’t much different then that of Atticus.

Short story about Granuaile and her druid beginings while Atticus is away. It reminded me how much I liked Iron Druid Chronicles

I still don't understand the rationale behind not telling.

Nice to see what Granuaile and Oberon were up to while Atticus and Co. were kicking Thor's butt! Looking forward to her graduation to full Druid in book 5!
