Seeped in Greek mythology, this read is a nice mix of monsters, gods, amusing characters, magic and adventure. Well crafted with a good blend of humor and action, the pace never slows, nor does the energy falter.The style of writing is in first person from the perspective of the Eno (the Hero) and although I do not always enjoy first person narrative, the character was such, that I think it was a good choice for this particular book. At first the narrative struck me as almost like that of a private eye in the way the character takes in his situation (a bit like the Dresden Files), and often tells of his adventure in past tense, with hindsight added, as well as speculation, which I think fits well with the overall myths and legends era to which it is written.This book is clean, well-formatted, with excellent editing and Pratt is clearly steeped in the Greek classics, as this is evident in every aspect of her storytelling.I would recommend this book to most fantasy readers and anyone who enjoys Greek Mythology.
