Enid by Eileen Sheehan welcomes readers into a fascinating, magical world filled with dragons, elves, trolls, and other amazing characters. This is a nuanced tale that involves fierce fighters, engaging politics, and enthralling war scenes. Enid vows to avenge the deaths of her parents and punish those behind the destruction of her village. She also finds herself falling for Logan, who happens to be a warrior among her new friends in another village. Unfortunately, Logan seems to have his eyes on rescuing a very beautiful princess with a mysterious past. Meanwhile, the evil plans of the elves unfold as they become more powerful and strike fear in the hearts of anyone who stands in their way. Enid and her new friends must unravel the secrets that can drastically improve their odds of winning the battles they face.
I was captivated by the protagonist's determination to succeed and defeat her enemies. As Enid and her fellow fighters recover from sudden attacks and prepare for more intense battles, they discover chilling secrets about their foes and plot ways to counter the threats they face, despite being close to defeat. The book explores the theme of magic quite brilliantly. I enjoyed reading about the magic that can control dragons and seeing the characters seek ways to gain access to untapped powers. Also, the book offers some exciting romantic scenes. Enid and Logan's buried feelings for each other create an alluring, suspenseful atmosphere that keeps resurfacing tastefully throughout the narrative. Ultimately, any fantasy fan who chooses Enid is making a great choice. Its smart blend of magic, charming characters, and engrossing themes makes it a great choice. I can't wait to read more stories in this skillfully built world created by Eileen Sheehan.

Who is Mikan, and what does Enid's mother suspect he did? Why? Where is Alva? Who is Gilly, and what do we learn? What an intriguing start to this new series. I cannot wait to see what happens in book two. Who is Yonko? What does he want? How does he know Glenda? Read and see!

Enid by Eileen Sheehan is a romantic thriller blending elements of suspense with emotional depth. This novel follows Enid as she embarks on a journey filled with self-discovery, mystery, and passion.
Enid's story seems to intertwine fate and emotion in a rich, fantastical setting reminiscent of Tolkien-esque Middle-earth.
If you enjoy dragons and trolls and a young woman who is gaining strength, knowledge and love you will enjoy this book

I very much enjoyed this book and hated to see it end. This is a world you can immerse yourself in, with characters you feel like you know personally. The action is fast paced; I can't wait to read the next in the series!
