Perhaps had I read this before beginning the series, I could have given it more stars. After it all, it involves gnomes and beer. As an intro to Atticus and Oberon, and as a teaser for what readers can expect from the novels, it's a good intro. But I found out about this short story after slogging through six books, a couple short stories, and a couple of the novellas and I think I was on cuteness overload. Anyway, read it first. Or read it sometime during your read of the first three books, before cleverness overload kicks in. This short story was part of the ebook for "Hounded" so I thought I'd give it a try. As far as short stories go, it was decent. I'm not usually a fan of short stories but this one was well-written and full of humor (typical Atticus O'Sullivan). It's pretty short so it won't take long to read. However, I wouldn't go actively looking for it. If you can find a copy easily and like the series, it's worth a few minutes of your time. If you can't find it easily, don't worry about it.

A short story set in the Iron Druid series, occurring before the events in Hounded.

Another Iron Druid short. Again, fairly unexceptional and a bit disappointing.

A good short story. Perhaps even a good introduction to the series.
