A review by lory_enterenchanted
Enchanted Glass by Diana Wynne Jones

emotional lighthearted mysterious

2.5

Diana Wynne Jones has no bad books, but this is not one of her best. There's nothing unpleasant about it, but it feels like a sketch that didn't get sufficiently filled out. The "enchanted glass" idea in particular is intriguing but then undeveloped. We never really find out what the glass does, apparently it's tremendously powerful but just as this is suggested the book ends. Another half of the book could have been in order! The scene of mayhem at an English country fair is amusing too, but could have been even more so (Wodehouse style).
