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 habÃa desvanecido hacÃamil 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 podÃa crer, Card vuelca toda su magia como nunca lo habÃahecho antes y transforma la imperecedera histori de La Bella Durmiente en una original fantasÃa esbordante de romance y aventura, presentando as un riquÃsimo 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.
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. Appartiene alle Collane EditorialiÈ una rivisitazione diPremi e riconoscimentiElenchi di rilievo

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.
