I’ve had this novel on my TBR list for a while. I read the first two books of this series and enjoyed them, so Dark Mountain (Eno the Thracian #3) needed to measure up to those. Read on for my thoughts!Synopsis (from the author): Welcome to the Ancient World...where the mythology, monsters, and gods are real.

What I liked: Dark Mountain (Eno the Thracian #3) entertained me! While perhaps a bit darker than the previous books, this one held all the elements for me. Eno is an excellent hero who embodies the classical hero characteristics. He is mostly humble, willing to take a stand for what is right, and constantly searching for ways to improve himself and the world he inhabits. Such is the case in Dark Mountain. The story is good, too, as we follow Eno trying to make amends with Pan, visit his mother, and follow the quest to the end. All told, I enjoyed the book!
What I didn’t like: As I mentioned above, Dark Mountain (Eno the Thracian #3) was a darker book than the first two of the series. For me, Eno seemed sad and not as vibrant as before and left me a little depressed at the end.
Overall impression: In spite of the darker tone of the book, I liked it! Not as full of the swaggering, boisterous Eno from the first books, it still captured my attention and kept me guessing through the end. If you like a modernized take on Greek mythology, give this one (and the series) a try!
My rating: 4 Stars

Dark Mountain A Historical Fantasy of Myths and Monsters Eno the Thracian Book 3 eBook CB Pratt Reviews
This series is written from the viewpoint that the old myths of the Mediterranean Sea are all true. Eno is a hero, not up there with Hercules, but probably some divine blood flows in his veins. Thus he meets and survives tests that mortal men could not, at the same time he does this with real empathy for both the people and sometimes the monsters. Very well-written series that I liked so much I bought them all as ebooks and read them straight through.
I love all the Eno books. I found this one to be a little darker than the others, and the characters more likely to surprise. I was definitely surprised with the ending, and felt a little sad for Eno. It is definitely a more adult tale than the previous ones, as we see Eno evolving emotionally and longing for more than he has in the past. I am looking forward to the next Eno adventure.
Dark Mountain by C. B. Pratt is a fantasy about a hero for hire named Eno and his adventures to free the enthralled mine workers of a deranged magician.
Eno, recently home from a quest in Egypt, resumes his interrupted trip to his aging mother. The path takes him through Pan’s domain, and the woodland god has a deadly bone to pick with Eno. On a previous adventure, Eno slayed Pan’s three daughters in self-defense. To make amends with the goat-footed deity, our hero must endure the woodland god’s curse plus do a good deed for Pan’s children.
Slavers ambush and capture Eno, along with a young man named Gwern. A clever ruse turns Eno into a shift captain of a most peculiar mining operation under a dark mountain. Gwern’s enslaved people have labored for generations under the command of an ancient mage who hears voices under the mountain’s rocks. After the workers unearth the rock speaker, Eno then must use his superb strength, wits, and a touch of Pan’s curse to battle the darkest threat yet to Eno’s world.
Dark Mountain is a fun fantasy romp set in the time of Greek gods, ancient Egypt, and medieval villages. C. B Pratt uses a masterful hand to create a vivid fantasy world where the reader smells the manure of the farmyards and feels the tickle of foaming ale on the lips. The conversations with the moody Pan are especially delightful.
Readers who like heroic fantasy told through the eyes of a thoughtful strongman would enjoy Dark Mountain. This is the second of Eno’s enjoyable stories I have read, and I look forward to immersing myself in Eno’s next tale.
Eno's adventures began in Hero for Hire when he posted his advertisement in the marketplace
“Hero for Hire. All monsters dispatched from carnivorous geese to Minotaurs. Special rates for multiples. Eno the Thracian at the sign of the Ram’s Head, one flight up.”
Now, Eno is gearing up for his own adventure. He must travel through strange lands to discover the truth about himself. Finding the truth means traveling not only in distance but time, back to Eno's origins.
"Leaning down to listen to his smothered words, she smoothed his hair. She whispered soothingly, ancient, meaningless sounds, common to every nation and race. He clung to her all the more tightly, his tears wetting the wrap she wore around her neck.
"Vertigo swept over me, a swirling, floating sensation, as though I looked down from a great height at not another land but at another time. The boy was myself, sobbing out the details of some childhood disaster. The golden firelight blended away the lines on her face, the gray from her hair, until she wore again the appearance of my mother, the most beautiful woman in the village. I felt my father's presence at my side, so strongly that I knew I should see him if I turned, strong, alive again, his ever-present laughter making all my troubles vanish."
C. B. Pratt continues her humorous series with Dark Mountain, the third installment in the series. Adventure abounds with mythological creatures and gods of old. Ms. Pratt also offers deeper themes for the discerning reader. The books are wonderfully written, with Dark Mountain surpassing even the first two books in the series.
