5.0 out of 5 stars A thoroughly enchanting read, 3 Sep 2002
By A Customer
This review is from: Enchantress from the Stars (Hardcover)
Do fairy tales have a grain of truth? Enchantress from the Stars examines this question with a thrilling adventure about the meeting of three different cultures. In the book, Elana, the heroine must try to save one race of people from being colonised by another without revealing that she is in fact from an evolutionally superior race of people. It is a great read for all ages, but will particularly appeal to year 7 and above.

It is the type of book that stays with you after you finish reading. You find yourself wondering all sorts of questions about colonisation, space travel, and the meaning of progress. Is magic real or simply something that we do not yet understand?

If you like Diane Wynne Jones, Philip Pullman's Dark Materials or Wiliam Nicholson's The Wind on Fire books, you will like this book. If you like magic, space travel, the thought of other civilisations beyond Earth, then you will like this book.

5.0 out of 5 stars New Way of History, 22 July 2004
I was expecting to read some kind of Star Wars but I was surprised. Begin with the idea based from the much-talked-about alien, Ms. Engdahl turned it into a concept that what if the ancient things, such as magic, dragon, wizards, witch, beyond our capability to understand, was things from another planet, another world, with civilization higher than ours?

This book really made me think and even helped me in someway to add to my understanding about human, life and alien. A deep thoughtful science fiction story about human civilization evolution.
