Hero For Hire by C.B. Pratt
4.0
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.
