Enchanter (Wayfarer Redemption, #2) (The Axis Trilogy, #2)

by Sara Douglass

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.

Enchanter is a fun, and trashy Fantasy romp. There are no two bones about it, Axis is a total dick all the way through this book, but it's in keeping with his character and the world that Sara Douglass built. There is action, romance, family drama, and mystery. It has everything that I could want out of a fun read. Faraday is an interesting blend of strong, independent woman and a perpetual victim. Her betrayal is cruel and heartless, but she deals with it with grace. The same goes for Azhure, who on this read-through has become my favourite female character. She exercises the most agency out of all the women in this novel and is, quite frankly, badass (although I do wish she'd spend less of the book pregnant).

Enchanter is not deep. It's paperback, popcorn fantasy all the way through. But, my god it's fun to read!
