Rating: 5 stars
Summary: Loved it!!! My favorite OSC book so far!
Review: Enchantment has EVERYTHING. Adventure, intrigue, magic and even romance! Card, once again, has captured my entire being and transported me into another world I didn't want to leave! It only ended too soon! If you like fairy tales---you'll LOVE this book.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: Wonderful
Review: I loved it! It was impossible to stop reading, etc. ,etc. Also, it's really cool that Card got all the Russian words right (and fairy tales, too, as far as I know).

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: Delightful exploration of very unique perspectives
Review: This is one of Card's best. I read it at about the same time as Ender's Shadow. Enchantment is MUCH better (and I liked Ender's Shadow).

This is a must-read for anybody who is even vaguely interested in Ukrainian history, Jewish folk tales, or modern neo-Paganism. The story is compelling and captivating, but one thing I especially enjoyed was the rationalization of Germanic paganism and magic. I doubt any other book has combined such things into a very Jewish-Christain romance tale.

Rating: 3 stars
Summary: A Variation of Sleeping Beauty
Review: This book is probably the strangest retelling of a fairytale that I have ever read (and I read a lot of fariytales). i think it has a wonderful twist. This story, however seems unfinished. Either it has an ending but no conclusion, or a conclusion but no ending. Though I have not read any of Orson Scott Card books before this one, my dad told me what to expect. This was not like what my father told me Card writes like (and if you can make any sense out of that, you are wonderful).

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: Card at his best!
Review: I never thought I would say this, but this book is better than Ender's Game. Once I passed the Chapter 4 mark I could not put the damned book down!

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: Can there be anyone better than Orson Scott Card?
Review: I almost didn't buy this book because the title and the cover art seemed a little feminine. But then I said to myself, "Hey, this guy has never written ANYTHING I didn't love. So I bought the book and realized something: Orson Scott Card could probably write a grocery list that would be more interesting than most of what's on the shelf today! Buy the book. Don't be stupid. (Like I nearly was.) Card, you da'MAN!

Rating: 4 stars
Summary: Very interesting take on a classic
Review: This story pulls you in and keeps you going. I loved the mixture of classic fairy tells, history, and modern times. It was also refreshing to see the usually flat dark age and fairy tell characters have true personalities. And in many cases they have a realistic sense of humour, sarcasm, and doubts. I read it on a trip to France, and the whole group was fighting over who should get it next!

Rating: 4 stars
Summary: A 4 Star Read
Review: A classic story. Hero falls for a girl while embarking on a magnificent quest. A great romance for the literary set.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: Couldn't put it down!
Review: One of the best books I had read in a long time. I was craving something different than what I normally read and this was certainly it. Very romantic!! I'm a librarian and I will recommend it to everyone who wants to read something different!

Rating: 4 stars
Summary: A wonderment!
Review: Orson Scott Card knows how to bring all elements of a story together. And here, working from the legends of Russian and western European fairytales, he does an amazing job!
