(More customer reviews)With a name like The Hero Always Wins, I went into it expecting a predictable adventure. Nothing could be further from the truth. From the first, page Eaton grabs your attention with a world that seems familiar and welcoming but, never the less, keeps you guessing at every turn. I can't remember a book that was harder to anticipate without using non sequitur curve balls.
It was quite a ride. I laughed out loud, and even read a few parts peering out from between my fingers. Eaton paints his characters with vivid detail, makes you care about them, and then makes it clear that none of them are safe.
His setting is remarkable. You feel instantly at home, yet it is full of new and exciting people and magic. He fulfilled one requirement I look for in magic, in that he set up rules for how it worked that were easy to grasp, and then worked within those bounds to have the characters solve their problems.
I would recommend this book to any fan of fantasy, and I would love to read more about this world and characters.
