This series started out very well, but then started to lose its way a bit in this book. Only the Star Man can save the people from the coming darkness, but can the Star Man survive to become the Star Man, and does he really want to be one? What of the women involved in his life, which will be his true companion? Unfortunately, there are a few too many betrayals in this book, and the tired theme of 'church vs. natives' is beaten to death again in this book. There are some original concepts and some good writing, but nothing spectacular. (

Maybe a little formulaic, but never the less a pretty good read. (

There are many revelations in this book. In some cases, mysteries are solved, in other cases they deepen and some of the answers will create new questions. Things happen that you will see coming, others will catch you completely off guard. Combine that with the fact that this is a complicated story with a multitude of characters to keep track of, and you end up with a real page-turner. I literally flew through this book.

This book gripped me to the point where I was looking for book three before I had even finished this one. Exciting. (

Storywise, this book gets farther into the series and the charactes, and as a reader you can't help but be compelled. The problem is, the writing is still elementary in skill. (

The stunning sequel to The Wayfarer Redemption

Axis is a true hero, in every sense of the word. On his shoulders lies the double burden of prophecy and war. Having fulfilled the first part of the prophecy by becoming the StarMan, he now must reunite the three races inhabiting his world.

It is his destiny to lead an army against his evil half-brother, to regain control of Tencendor, once the greatest land in the world.

It is his destiny to be caught between the two women he loves, one the epitome of gentility, beauty, and intelligence, the other a fierce warrior with a cunning wit.

And it is his destiny to be thwarted at every turn by the vicious Goragel, an insane monster bent on destroying all that Axis works to preserve . . .

Enchanter is the riveting sequel to Sara Douglass's spell-binding first novel The Wayfarer Redemption, and winner of the 1996 Aurealis Award for Best Fantasy Novel. Sara Douglass has taken America by storm with this powerful tale of love, prophecy, battles, and revenge.
