RE: Hounded by Kevin Hearne - Audiobook Review #7 - Disco Reads
Hello @discordiant
Stories like this no longer sound strange to me since I have been exposed to the Harry Potter series. Over here things about Magic have always had negative vibes.
But the western culture have found ways to weave entertaining content from such once fearful things.
The dog one liner reminds me of Groot in Guardians of the Galaxy.
I am Groot
Only Rocket the racoon understands what he says, i still find it strange that such a creature was voiced by Vin Desiel .
Great review. Following you for more
I had never considered how some of these concepts might be seen in other countries, but it's a good point. This is more a magic of the earth, of the spirit of a place of nature providing the main character with ability as part of an agreement for him protecting the earth. It's a pleasant thought.
Oberon, the dog in this story, makes a lot of pop culture references and jokes that might not extend beyond Western cultures, but they are hilarious to anyone that understands them.
