Rating: 4/5
Comments: First my requisite disclaimer that I like DJ, and read almost all his books.
When you pick up a Schinhofen book there are some things you can expect to find. You will find a protagonist that has some kind of trauma or issues. You will find Sally Love Interest with the some other kind of issue, and probably Betty Love Interest with no obvious problems, but they'll be there. You'll also find food. To quote City Slickers, it will be hot, brown, and plenty of it. In other words, the best kind of food. There will also be a magic system. Sometimes certain traits might be missing, or might show up later, but you'll find most of those things.
Dan, as they say "has a type." This is not a bad thing.
Heavenly Chaos, is quintessential Schinhofen. It's really a very good story, with and it brushes up against some of the "Cozy" genre stories in its stakes. Ben might be the most traumatized protagonist out of any of his books, but he gets some help with that. If I had one quibble with the story, it's that Ben's uncle's portion of the story is more truncated than I would have liked. That could have been drawn out more.
