The moment ten-year-old Ivan stumbled upon the clearing in the Carpathian forest, his life was forever changed. Atop a pedestal encircled by fallen leaves, a beautiful princess lay still as death, but a malevolent presence nearby sent Ivan scrambling for safety.

Years later, Ivan is an American graduate student, engaged to be married. Yet he cannot forget that long-ago day in the forest nor convince himself it was merely a frightened boy's fantasy. Compelled to return to his native land, Ivan finds the clearing just as he left it. This time he does not run. This time he awakens the beauty with a kissâ??and steps into a world that vanished a thousand years ago.

A rich tapestry of clashing worlds, Enchantment is an original novel of a love and destiny that transcends centuries and the dark force that stalks them across the ages.… (altro)

This book is more than your typical time-traveling novel. When you read this book, you're transported into new worlds just like the characters, and it's just as strange and exciting and overwhelming for you-the reader-as it is for them. Card holds back nothing as he painfully reminds us why no one should ever want to live in medieval Russia...or medieval anywhere. But in-between all of the gritty details and Ivan's awkwardness, there's a sweet love story and a gripping adventure as our heroes battle with their wits against Baba Yaga.

I don't read a lot of fantasy because it's difficult for me to get invested in a world with its own rules for magic and physics. This book is no exception. It's pretty in-depth, but that's also why it works. Card is relentless in making sure readers understand his world and what makes his world so unique. Everything is so well-thought out from the plot to the characters to the folk ties to the magic system. If you're a die-hard fantasy reader, you MUST read this book. You will love it.

The reason I couldn't give this five stars was because it just wasn't my cup of tea. It's well-executed, but all of the explanations about how magic works just takes me out of the story. That said, someone else will probably still love it.

Sin embargo, no puede olidar aquel lejano día en el bosque ni convencers a sí mismo de que sólo se trató de la fantasía e un niño asustado. Devuelto compulsivamente a a tierra que le vio nacer, Iván se encuentra conque aquel claro del bosque está exactamente igua a como él lo había dejado cuando todavía era unniño. Pero esta vez no echó a correr. Esta ve Iván despierta a la bella con un beso... y se aentra en un mundo que se había desvanecido hacíamil años. ncantamiento es, sin duda, una de ls obras más divertidas del panorama literario delos últimos veinticinco años. En ella Card nos smerge en mundos encantados que sólo él podía crer, Card vuelca toda su magia como nunca lo habíahecho antes y transforma la imperecedera histori de La Bella Durmiente en una original fantasía esbordante de romance y aventura, presentando as un riquísimo tapiz de mundos y culturas que entechocan. El resultado es una novela sumamente orginal de un amor y un destino que trascienden lo siglos.

I would have given this a higher rating, as the ideas were original and on the whole I felt t was well written. However, the author decided to throw in a few quips about feminism that were not only offensive but out of character. I mean really, would a man in the early 90s be going on about essentialism vs culture to his fiancé as a putdown?? Maybe if this book had been set in the 70s I could have overlooked it as something that may legitimately have been discussed but as it is, these little asides came across to me as an excuse for the authors to express his personal bias.

As one of the most consistently exciting writers to emerge in the last 25 years, Orson Scott Card has been honored with numerous awards, while immersing readers in dazzling worlds only he could create. Now, in Enchantment, Card works his magic as never before, transforming the timeless story of Sleeping Beauty into an original fantasy brimming with romance and adventure. ( )

Did not finish. I loved Ender's Game. A friend recommended Enchantment to me. It was interesting through the first five chapters, but then got silly. ( )

The youthful protagonists, the elements of fantasy and romance, and Card's imaginative, humorous storytelling make this a winner for young adults.

Combining modern sensibilities with ageless, mythic truths, Card's latest novel is highly recommended.
