The Enchanted by Elaine Cantrell
My rating: 5 of 5 stars
If you regularly read my reviews, you know that I have a kind of love-hate relationship with fantasies. Very rarely do I find a fantasy that actually captures my attention and intrigues me beyond idle curiosity. This is one such fantasy. From the beginning of the book, I was drawn into the story. It certainly helped that the author set the book during the times of kings and queens. And the brutality described within the story sent shivers throughout my body.
I fully expected to lose interest in the book when time travel was mentioned, but I was not turned off in any way. Even when enchantment entered the picture, my interest was piqued even more. I essentially deciphered the ending, but that did not dampen my enjoyment of the book. In fact, I hope the author is planning a sequel because this is one fantasy series I would follow all the way.
This book was such a breath of fresh air due to what was not found within its pages. That’s right–no profanity and no bedroom scenes. This means that the book is suitable for young adults. There is some violence, but mostly it is not problematic. What is done to the princess by her father is truly horrendous, but it is not described in graphic detail. I can recommend this to lovers of young adult books, new adult books, fantasies, and romances.
I was sent a copy of this book in exchange for my honest review. I was not financially compensated, and all opinions are 100 percent mine.
