A review by carringtonshaw
The Enchanted Castle by E. Nesbit

Did not finish book. Stopped at 46%.

adventurous lighthearted mysterious slow-paced

• Plot- or character-driven? Plot
• Loveable characters? It's complicated

I would have loved this book as a kid. As an adult, while I enjoyed the language and writing style, I found the pacing slow and choppy. In the beginning I was intrigued, but I lost interest when invisibility issue kept on going with no resolution, and just didn't feel like watching the same sequence of events unfold with every one of the children. I also didn't particularly feel anything for the characters. I DNF at 46%. (Felt like I should have been much farther along than that.)

I was always a <i>Tuck Everlasting</i> fan, but this is only my second Nesbit. I may try another and come back to this at some point.
