Book Reviews of Enna Burning (Books of Bayern)
Book Review: Enna Burning
Summary: 5 Stars
This goes on my favorite's list. The story keeps you turning pages. It is a bit darker than "Goose Girl", the first book in the series, but just as captivating.Book Review: Enna Burning
Summary: 3 Stars
Enna Burning is a book about a young woman named Enna who finds herself in a troubling situation. The story begins when Enna's older brother, Leifer, starts to act very strangely. His temper sparks without notice and his aggression is terrifying. The reason for Leifer's strange behavior is that he has found a vellum which taught him how to set fires when he wishes. The story picks up the pace when Bayern, Enna's home country, goes to war. Leifer decides to fight for his country, and in the process kills himself. He was killed because of a fire that forms inside of him seamed to burn through his body. Enna then finds the vellum and curiosity overtakes her as she reads it. Enna makes a decision to use her new power for good, and attempt to save Bayern. Will she succeed or will she end up as Leifer did?
This fairy tale definitely had it's ups and it's downs. There were parts of the book where I could not force my eyes off the page, but there were also parts where it was difficult to continue reading and the pace slowed down tremendously. This made Shannon Hale's story not as interesting as some of her others, in my opinion. However, Hale's smooth words and descriptive writing were very enjoyable and inspiring. Her descriptive writing often made me laugh or smile. It often made me sad and sometimes even frustrated with the character's actions. Her writing was so detailed that it almost made me feel as if I was in the story myself. Enna Burning relates to another book by Shannon Hale called The Goose Girl. They had the same characters, but it is interesting how different the plots are. Enna Burning was much more dark, while The Goose Girl was so cheerful. It also relates to my life, in that I have an older brother whose foolish mistakes often rub off on me!
Book Review: Enna Burning
Summary: 4 Stars
I have read several books by Shannon Hale, and have enjoyed them very much. This story may be a little intense, however, for young readers, because several people are destroyed by burning. I did like "The Goose Girl" better, but I did enjoy the continuation of several of the characters from "The Goose Girl" in this story.Book Review: Enna Burning
Summary: 4 Stars
While it was fun to see the characters from Goose Girl again, this book lacks some of the fascination that the Goose Girl held for me. It took me longer to get into Enna Burning but I felt that Shannon Hale has once again written a compelling teen fiction with interesting characters and a story of true friendship. I love the way that Shannon Hale finds a fairy tale and builds characters to fit with loyalty, betrayal, guilt, and all of the human frailties that we struggle with. I'm anxious to read River Secrets now and hear how Rezo's story turns out.Book Review: Enna Burning Shannonon Hale
Summary: 5 Stars
This book is wonderful, imaginative and an exciting captivating read for young and old alike. Shannon Hale's writing style draws you into the character's world and firmly places you with them at every step of the plot. I enjoyed this book thoroughly! You will too!
