The overall vibe is like reading the old Hercules/Xena Warrior Princess shows. There are adventures and danger, good and monsters, but it doesn't take itself too seriously, and you know going on that the hero will come through alright. An entertaining read, and I might follow up on the series.
I chose this book because it was already downloaded on my Kindle, but I no longer remember how I got it. Free somewhere, probably through an Amazon promotion. I couldn't even say how long it's been on there.

Reread this after finishing [b:Eno and the Dragon|25441971|Eno and the Dragon (Eno the Thracian #5)|C.B. Pratt|https://i.gr-assets.com/images/S/compressed.photo.goodreads.com/books/1430195382l/25441971._SX50_.jpg|45205305], the last book in this series. Still as funny and entertaining as the first time I read it.

Following the prequel novella [b:Eno and the Pirates|30742494|Eno and the Pirates|C.B. Pratt|https://s.gr-assets.com/assets/nophoto/book/50x75-a91bf249278a81aabab721ef782c4a74.png|51285895], I got the [b:Eno's Way: The Complete Eno the Thracian Adventures: A Historical Fantasy of Myths and Monsters|27830573|Eno's Way The Complete Eno the Thracian Adventures A Historical Fantasy of Myths and Monsters|C.B. Pratt|https://images.gr-assets.com/books/1447539573s/27830573.jpg|47811718] boxed-set. This is the first book I've read from it (first in the series), and the review reflects that. A review of the full series will be published later.
Half-way between Sword-&-Sorcery and Historical-Detectives, CB Pratt weaves a compelling historical-fantasy-detective blend.
Expect a romp around mythical Greece, with it's associated gods, heroes, and monsters. What starts as a monster hunt (Eno is a Hero for Hire, after all - and everyone else has left for Troy), develops to a clash between gods. Eno travels around the islands, meets kings and tracks down a harpy - and even gets to meet a couple of larger-than-life Olympian gods.
Be aware that the story is a bit darker than the prequel novella. While Eno's wry humour is still there, the overall story is not as lighthearted.
Summary: For fans of the history/mystery/fantasy blend like myself, Eno is a must-have addition to the book shelves. If you have an interest in ancient Greek mythology and general Swords-&-Sorcery goodness, you should definitely give this book a go.
