Why read it?
1 author picked Enchantress from the Stars as one of their favorite books. Why do they recommend it?
This book blended fantasy and science fiction in a way that caught me and didn’t let go. I appreciate the moral dilemma of: is it better to interfere and stop a wrong if the interference might cause an even greater wrong? I like to make decisions based on facts rather than emotion, but this book shows how both are needed in balance. And how even doing good comes at a cost—are we willing to pay the cost?
From M. L.'s list on based on lesser known folk and fairytales.
