A review by mjwerts
Enchantment by Orson Scott Card

4.0

For a majority of this book, I alternated between giggles — the characters' sarcasm and wit is quite well portrayed — and thoughts of "oh no, you didn't!" It was like reading a well-written, fantasy-based soap opera, a quite enjoyable one at that. The novel's slight downfalls are that the plot gets a little tedious at times — it's quite shocking that the amount of plot in the book could be spread to 400 pages — and the characters could be quite frustrating at times. I've seen other reviewers refer to them as unlikable, which might be a bit true, as often their pride got in the way of their sense. Having never read an Orson Scott Card novel before, I had no expectations going into this book, and it quite delighted me for two weeks on my commute to work.
