Eff is riding west, away from the safety of the frontier city she's always known Eff could be a powerful magician if she wanted to. Except she's not sure she wants that kind of responsibility. Everyone keeps waiting for Enchanted Glass to do something amazing - or to fail in a spectacular way. Worse, her twin brother, Lan, a powerful double seventh son, is jealous of all the attention she's been getting. Even as Eff protests that she's just an ordinary girl, she's asked to travel past the Barrier Spell with one of the new professors at her father's school. The land west of the Barrier is full of dangers, both magical and wild. Eff will need to use all her strength - magical and otherwise - to come safely back home. Eff is an unlucky 13th child Her twin brother, Lan, is a powerful double seventh son. Her life at the edge of the Great Barrier Spell is Enchanted Glass from anyone else's that she knows. There are places in the world where darkness rules, where it's unwise to walk. Sunshine knew that. But there hadn't been any trouble out at the lake for years, and she needed a place to be alone for a while. Unfortunately, she wasn't alone. She never heard them coming. Of course you don't, when they're vampires. Enchanted Glass Robin McKinley. Yet when he arrives, he discovers the man died a year earlier. But then other problems come up: a creepy neighbor is stealing power from the land, and magic is leaking between the realms. Dealing with these issues would be so much easier—if only Andrew could remember anything his grandfather taught him about magic. Fantasy legend Diana Wynne Jones, who has captivated young listeners for generations, delivers a compelling and Enchanted Glass adventure. I Enchanted Glass already bought and read a hardcover copy of this excellent book, but I like Steven Crossley's reading so much that I bought the audiobook too. Diana Wynne Jones's books are a convincing blend of magic and ordinary life. Her characters are clearly drawn and memorable, The villains are menacing, and the good guys are charming, including the rather dangerous young giant who's filled with glee because his new clothes have zippers. Even the good guys don't always agree for example, there's a prolonged silent contest over the arrangement of furniturebut we get to see friendship, humor, and loyalty among people willing to go out of their way to help each other. Would you listen to Enchanted Glass again? I enjoyed the voice, characters and story very much and would like to revisit Enchanted Glass another time. What was one of the most memorable moments of Enchanted Glass? Andrew visits Aidan's foster family and discovers that the story is Enchanted Glass complicated than he had realized. Which character — as performed by Steven Crossley — was your favorite? While I liked most of the characters, Andrew - a person of magical talents, Enchanted Glass not seeking after Enchanted Glass, with, instead, a sense of responsibility and a passion for history, definitely Enchanted Glass my sympathies the most. Any additional comments? This is a delightful story - suitable for children and adults. I want Enchanted Glass start by saying that I am a Diana Wynne Jones fan. But her books are always a hit or miss Enchanted Glass me. I loved some of her books but I couldn't get into some of the others. I knew I was taking a gamble. I Enchanted Glass bought the hard cover but I Enchanted Glass have time to read it, so I downloaded the audible. The book was whimsical like all the other DWJ books, with goofy characters, and silly villains. But what the heck was it about? What was the plot? Who was Enchanted Glass main character? First, you have Andrew, who has a weird experience on his way to his grandfather's, who he finds out is dead.

In the course of her books she runs the gamut of magical styles, and demonstrates that she knows quite a frightening amount about the technicalities too. She has a sure instinct for the way magic works: totem magic, social magic, transformation magic and the rest. Some of her spells are grand, formal affairs, like the climax of The Merlin Conspiracy. Others are casual, like the way Sophie in Howl’s Moving Castle unwittingly charms the hats she decorates, simply by talking to them [...] Sometimes, as in Fire & Hemlock, she keeps you guessing as to whether any magic has taken place at all.1 Charles Butler har sagt at “ [...] and those who know her as children tend to stick with her into adulthood. That is one of her qualities: her books change and grow as you do.”2 Jeg er selv vokset op med Jones bøger, og læser dem stadig med stor glæde, måske fordi de er så alsidige, og hver bog beskriver en ny form for magi eller en ny sammensætning af magiformer.
