Enchantment: A Classic Fantasy with a Modern Twist by Orson Scott Card

4.0

I love this book! I might be biased though because I love Russia. I couldn’t put it down though. This is my favorite Orson Scott Card book, and it’s pretty hard to beat his Ender’s Game. The story follows a Russian studies graduate student who’s immigrated to America as he encounters a princess from his motherland’s folklore. The popular Baba Yaga features as the villain and explains her origins. It isn’t Card’s best work writing wise, but the technical mistakes aren’t a distraction. He also imbues a sense of humor in here that I haven’t picked up on in his other work. I’ve encountered some criticism for this piece amongst his LDS/Mormon fans (I’m also LDS), but none of the content strikes me as inappropriate or out of place so I can’t sympathize. It’s just good, solid fun and entertainment.
