NOT Iron Druid standard
I couldn't stand it after 4 chapters, I had to give up and return the book. I have every Iron Druid book and short story Kevin Hearne has written and rate him very highly. But I can not believe that he has written this mind numbing and boring piece. was it written before his other books or is someone else using his name.
I can't believe that I pre-ordered this book.
Will NOT be buying any of his books again without checking them out first.

WTF?
Here is how you write a story:
You describe the daily lives of the inhabitants. Their mundane every day world.
You throw into that mundanity something fantastic.
The inhabitants acclimatize to the new reality.
And the reader emphasizes to the rise or fall of the characters from their every day lives to the new lives they now lead.
Here is how Kevin Hearne wrote a story:
He starts with Atticus O'Sullivan's every day life, introduces an artistic piece of histrionics presented in a fart joke grade humorous way, then has him get into a few fights as he solves the problems he probably created for himself in his long lived life.
He, Hearne, is good at it.
Here is Plague of Giants:
The story starts in the aftermath of an unreasoned invasion where pretty much everyone is sad and trying to survive and rebuild.
The inhabitants of the world are trying to find out why the invasion happened while explaining their witnessing of its coming.
The reader has no hook to get them interested in the story, there is just a lot of information presented with little context. There is no change from mundane to fantastic, just a continued sense of sadness and loss - the fall in fortune without the initial presentation of good grace which is like watching a news broadcast about a war torn country; it is sad but those people are far away and I know nothing about their world so I don't "care".
No humor of any kind, not even gallows humor which would fit the setting. Zero violent engagements, which the author is practiced at writing. Their is nothing to make one care about the characters or events. And I cannot for the life of me describe any of the appearance of any character or any construction where the events take place. The descriptions exist, I remember them, but they don't stick in the mind. Just said once and forgotten.
In short Kevin Hearne decided to write a different kind of story, which is fine, did the total opposite of everything he is practiced at, which is not fine as its not mostly well crafted with a few shaky new bits he isn't practiced at, its mostly garbage, and chose to forget everything he knows about writing fiction, which is why its so unrelatable and unreadable.
To conclude, I'm left asking myself as I listen to the audiobook of A Plague of Giants: what the in the name of sanity was this man thinking when he wrote this because I know he knows how to write properly?
The best thing that can be said about it is that it IS NOT American Gods by Neil Gaimen. That BORED me. At least A Plague of Giants has some interesting aspects - mostly around the magic system. But it's a huge step down in quality and content of a splendid writer.
And I'm a little bit sad about that as I like the guy for who he is and compared The Iron Druid Chronicles to the works of Jim Butcher and J.K. Rowling.

Great book, dreadful narration, unlistenable.
This book is a singular lesson in the importance of the narrator. Kevin Hearne's books are a delight, ruined by Luke Daniels narration. His syntax and rhythm are uncomfortable, and many of his accents grate, Xe Sands narration is excellent. It is a shame that Christopher Ragland wasn't the narrator, his work on the Iron Druid Chronicles was vastly superior to Mr Daniels efforts, albeit only available in some territories.

I couldn't finish it and I love folklore etc.
I have lots of kevin hearne books. In paper, digital and audio. This is the first of his in audio I could not finish. The reading is monotonous in both male and female voices. I gave up, if this is how bards told tales no wonder the audience's needed all that ale to get through it. Shoot me now.
I'm going to buy it in kindle form at least my imagination will give it some oomph.

This is quite a departure from the Iron Druid, and not in a bad way. I really liked the druid collection, but this story is even better, and for myself, quite original too.

Disappointed
Like many others, I loved the Iron Druid series, its characters were engaging and the story was a brilliant rollercoaster of emotions.
Plague of Giants has left me bamboozled. I can’t quite work out if it’s just down to the dreadful narration or it’s something deeper. I’m on chapter 20 of 189 and seriously wondering if I can face any more.
I can’t differentiate the characters for either narrator, the male narrator seems to be attempting an Irish accent (?), bit if he is, it’s on a par with Dick van Dyke doing cockney, no wait, that’s a disservice to Dick van Dyke, at least I could make out what words Dick was using.
The female narrator is impenetrable. Monotonous, dreary, and every character the same. And again, I’m pretty good at English, I am English, but I can’t work out what she’s saying.
I think I’m going to try this on Kindle, and give Kevin the benefit of the doubt.

A Whole New World
It can be hard to let go of a favourite storyline that has absorbed and entertained you, and my first reaction this new world from the pen of Kevin Hearn's was at first disturbed by its complete lack of resemblance to the Iron Druid style or story line. The discordance was perhaps exacerbated by the narration by Luke Daniels, as his voice is familiar in the roles of all those wonderful characters. However as the new characters and their stories developed my ear became accustomed to the new voices Daniels so expertly brings to life, and the new world they populate took on shape and depth. By the end I was sad to leave them, and now eagerly await the next instalment in the Plague of Giants series

Performer voice clarity poor
I find the woman performer almost impossible to understand, and keep missing what she says. Her pronunciation of consonants is just not clear enough. In combination with the accent used and speed of delivery it just becomes a drone. Became too frustrated and abandoned this book.
Couldn’t really judge story because of this

Both Narrators voice the same characters. Why?
The single biggest glaring issue this book has is the incomprehensible decision to have a second narrator. Whilst Luke Daniels has a wide range of character voices up his sleeve, Xe Sands has 2-3, and the director was okay with this for some reason.
"Alright" You may say. "I could see how you could have certain characters voiced by another narrator, and that would provide range and variety to the performance. How is this a negative?"
Well, lets say we have a main character who facilitates a lot of the story (The Bard). And this character is USUALLY voiced by Luke unless the *section* of the book Xe is reading has him in it. In which case, you're going to get a completely different accented character you'll have to associate with the character in your mind.
This is an excellent story (but it starts very slowly) made annoying by the decision to cast 2 narrators. If it was done properly, with consistent character voices, this would have been cool. It wasn't though, and I hope all the direction and production crew listen in the end credits know this.
Fix this book please.
