Enchantment: A Classic Fantasy with a Modern Twist by Orson Scott Card
5.0
In Enchantment Orson Scott Card weaves together Russian folklore, mythology, history and language in a beautiful retelling of "The Sleeping Beauty in the Wood". The prose is lyrical but has a tongue in cheek humor at the same time. I LOVED this book. The copy I read was from the library but I will be purchasing my own copy because I just can't let it go. If you like good storytelling of any kind this is a brilliant book.
The hardcover version of this book is 387 pages long. Encompassed in those pages is a complex story invoking ancient myth and lore about characters who are so alive they almost come off the page. I could not write all that I loved about this book without this becoming almost as long as the book itself. You should really just go and read it for yourself.
