The Enchantress of Lynniah
Have you ever come across a vain, impetuous little creature called a Mandie, and had to quickly dodge one of her poisonous darts? Or, have you ever imagined having to sing to a fruit to get it to peel open? Perhaps you’ve bumped into freakishly large, blue men, called Dreads? Well, with all of that, along with evil Nymphs and blood thirsty Banelorgs – these are things you’ve only likely experienced if you’ve had a nice long visit to Lynniah.
Corrah’s life suddenly and drastically changes with the unexpected and inexplicable death of her loving mother, Lillian. She and her two sisters, Gaela and Stormy, are suddenly thrust into the unknown and sent to live with their mysterious Aunt Rainee, who lives in the seemingly bewitched village, called Lynniah. Living in a house that their mother’s family had occupied for hundreds of years, they find clues that begin to unlock the startling reality that they are all part of an important magical heritage. A heritage that has been kept secret to save them from a dark and powerful enemy. Corrah has to find a way to battle and balance the onslaughts of loss, young love, and learn to uncover the personal power she has hidden inside her to overcome overwhelming adversity.
Review:
I received a free copy of this book for an honest review.
If you like fantasies, you’ll like The Enchantress of Lynniah. It is set in a magical world with interesting creatures. It’s not only a fantasy but it has romance, mystery, and adventure.
The characters are well developed and each is unique in their own way. The main character, Corrah, is strong and independent. She and her sisters are all quite different but complement each other well.
A.L. Bawden’s descriptions are vivid and you almost feel like you’re there. The descriptions get quite detailed at times, a little more detailed than I like, but that’s my personal preference.
Any fantasy lover should like The Enchantress of Lynniah. I look forward to reading the next book in the series.
