Enna Burning

ENNA BURNING: Shannon Hale: Bloomsbury: Young Adult: 317 pgs

Enna’s brother Leif has a secret and Enna wants to know what it is. She is shocked when she discovers that Leif has the ability to start fires with just a look. When the Bayern kingdom comes under attack Leif swears to use his ability for good, to protect the other residents of Bayern. However, he has not yet learned how to control the fire and burns himself to a crisp, as well as the enemy soldiers. It is now up to Enna to decide if she wants to learn the language of fire and help protect the borders of Bayern or not.

Enna Burning is the second Bayern book by Shannon Hale. Many of the characters from The Goose Girl are present in Enna Burning but readers could read this title as a stand-alone. Enna learns throughout this book who her true friends are, what loyalty means, and how to endure in the face of great challenges.

I just finished listening to this on CD; I'd read it before and enjoyed it, and I also enjoyed listening to it. The narrator was good, and I liked the voices of most of the characters as well.
