After 15 years of living in the mortal world, Jenni Weaver
has adapted and settled in. So when a dwarf comes knocking
on her door, Jenni is not inclined to answer. But the dwarf
is on a mission and is not inclined to take "no" for an
answer. The dwarf is an emissary, sent by the rulers of the
Lightfolk, the Eight, to procure Jenni's help by any means
necessary for a task only Jindesfarne Mistweaver, halfling
and elemental balancer, can complete. The Eight dangle the
fate of Jenni's only living kin, her brother Rothly, as
bait.
Even though her brother has disowned her and blames her for
the death of their family Jenni feels compelled to help him
and uphold her family honor. Jenni also hopes their
relationship can be repaired. Aiding Jenni on her quest is
Aric, her ex-lover. An uneasy alliance develops between the
two, both are still racked with guilt over the death of
Jenni's family. A battle they should have been at but were
together instead, arriving on the battlefield only when it
was too late to save her family. Although strong-willed and
powerful, Jenni has lived among mortals for a long time.
She is too trusting and not battle-ready enough to face the
warriors from the dark side. One Dark Lord in particular,
Kondrian, is responsible for wiping out Jenni's family and
he is determined not to stop until he has her, as well.
Although ENCHANTED NO MORE didn't have the same appeal for
me as Ms. Owens' Celta series, I still enjoyed it. The
characters were believable enough and the action moved the
book along. I liked the Lightfolk, in particular the
Brownies. Jenni's brother was as bitter and hateful as I
would expect him to be and, even though his hatred was
unreasonable, it rang true. He lost his family and needed
someone to blame. Aric and Jenni's problems didn't
immediately disappear, but they faced their issues and
worked together. Their guilt holds them back, but doesn't
cripple them completely. The villain was fairly one
dimensional, but he was Evil, so it worked fine for me; I
didn't need him to have a lot of layers. I will be
recommending this to friends and customers.
As one of the last surviving Mistweavers, half-blood Jenni
knows what it's like to be caught between two worlds: the
faery and the human. But the time has come to choose. The
Lightfolk require her unique talent for balancing the
elements to fend off a dangerous enemy—and rescue her
missing brother.
Only for Rothly will Jenni deal with those who destroyed
her life. Only for him will she agree to work with her ex-
lover, Tage, and revisit the darkest corners of her soul.
For a reckoning is at hand, and she alone has the power to
hold back the forces of dark….
