Finished The Enchanted by Rene Denfeld & loved it. It was a lot less magical & just as grim as I thought it would be. I appreciate that Denfeld didn't dip into the gory details she could have with the subject matter of death row inmates. It wasn't necessary for the story she wanted to tell. Thankfully I had my squishy pugs to comfort me after finishing this book. * #funaekbooks #funaekreads #bookstagram #instabooks #instaread #theenchanted #renedenfeld #pugsandbooks #bookreview

Finally dug out the liner notes for The Enchanted’s “Trust in Death and Rebirth”, so Encyclopaedia Metallum could be updated with the correct performer credits. Recorded at Akercocke’s ‘Goat of Mendes’ studio and self-released on Sinister Realms near the turn of the century; it still holds up to this day as a cracking slab of Proper Metal. I remain resolutely proud of the racket we Northern numpties could achieve. https://www.instagram.com/p/B3WZMbhJa_w/?igshid=78g8j6ma2df6

Title: The Enchanted 

Author: Rene Denfeld 

Number of pages: 233 (hard back version, library loan)

Book Rating: 3/5

Cover rating: 4/5 

Favorite Quote: "When the soul leaves, the body has nothing left and is desperate to return to the earth. That's why it's so heavy."

Overview/thoughts: This book is really "enchanting." I've never read anything like this and it took me by surprise. It's dark and has really strong subject matter (abuse, rape, and unspeakable acts). You're hearing the story from a man (he's not named until the end and his name is a spoiler) on death row who "sees" things. When I say that, I mean that even though he is in a cell 24 hours daily, he "knows" what's going on with certain people in the prison and he even knows what they are feeling and thinking. It is never explained if he has psychic abilities or if he is just crazy. He sees "enchanting" things too (horses that run around and leave dust after executions, little men with hammers that laugh, and 'flibby gibbets' that eat the ashes of the dead prisoners.... yeah maybe crazy) There is stories of different people in the prison and most of the stories are heartbreaking. 90% of this book was just full of bad luck, sadness, despair and men trying to get off of death row... I think it was really just showing how terrible our main character felt. I liked how that all came together. 

What I liked: What made me really like this book is even though this man did awful things... you kind of feel sorry for him. I liked him and wanted him to live. He loved books and he cared about people... I was just torn because he did such a bad thing.. how could I like him?

What I dislike: The story didn’t go anywhere except in circles. There was a couple of instances where you got a good story line but then it just ended or the subject changed for awhile. Some of the characters fell flat. The ending sucked so much for me even though I knew it would happen. 

Note: This cover is amazing and I love the horses (perfect for the book).. PLUS this cover will completely confuse you.
