![]() Only magic keeps him looking like a young surfer dude. If Atticus stopped taking his Immortali Tea, he would look like Anna Nicole Smith’s 90 year old ex-husband, except 200 times worse. He even looks like him – take a look at Hearne’s author picture. Atticus is his wish projection of himself. ![]() I’d hoped Kevin Hearne would be different, but no, slowly over the last 2 books, he’s made Atticus his “Marty Stu”. ![]() They’ve gained little wisdom over the centuries, and learned nothing in their thousands of years except how to fight with weapons really really well. Immortal/near immortal characters, despite having lived for thousands of years, still can’t think their way out of a paper bag, still make impulsive decisions, still have emotions typical of a Jersey Shore reality TV show cast member. I’ve only found like maybe one or two authors who can. ![]() I’ve read a lot of science fiction and fantasy and honestly, next to no author can write a realistic immortal or near immortal character. Another writer of fantasy immortals has again fallen down into boring convention. ![]()
