As happy as Enna is for her best friend's Isi's happily ever after, she can't help feeling a pang of sorrow when she thinks about her ending. While her friend married her true love and became the ruler of Bayern, Enna was stuck caring for her older brother after their mother's death. Isi was blessed with the power to understand the language of the winds. Enna can't help wishing she had a power like that. She can't help feeling she does have a power like that.
Her problems begin when her brother, Leifer, finds a dangerous vellum containing secrets too terrible for a human being to carry. Suddenly, Enna's adventure becomes a frightening reality. When the secret threatens to destroy Leifer, Enna must save her brother—and herself—while trying to find her happily ever after.
Enna Burning is the companion book to Goose Girl, an earlier novel also by famed author Shannon Hale. It takes place after Isi's extraordinary adventure and wedding to Prince Geric and covers Isi's best friend's story. Enna is a character who—like us all—is just trying to find herself and an adventure of her own. Loved characters in Goose Girl return, namely Razo and Finn. I was very excited to see them return, since I loved them so much in the earlier novel.
Goose Girl was a wonderful book, but it was a bit slow on getting the story rolling. Enna Burning immediately introduces the plot and begins the story at a much faster and exciting pace. However, Shannon Hale's beautiful writing stays consistent throughout her novels. This book is an exciting read that will leave you begging for more.
