Enchanters is an epic fantasy spanning a magical world where magic is in short supply. The premise is interesting, but unfortunately the execution is lacking.
There are too many characters in this book. I didn't know enough about most to care about them and the ones we did know, I didn't like because both. Kept. Whining. Some of the side characters were interesting but only got a scene or two every few chapters - enough so you'd know what was happening, not enough to really know or root for them. There were so many interpersonal relationships that had promise that ultimately went unfulfilled.
Plot-wise, a lot was happening as well. The path to the final conflict was littered with multiple barriers and events that could have taken a book on their own. I just felt like a lot was stuffed in but then almost sped through to get to the next.
This isn't a bad book, but with so much in it, I felt like some good editing and rewriting could've elevated it to a great one.
