Amaranth Enchantment, by Julie BerryYoung Adult, 2009
Lucinda works in a goldsmith shop for her aunt and uncle as little more than a servant. Once the wealthy daughter of a merchant, she has lost everything. By chance she encounters the famous Amaranth witch, the prince, spiraling into an adventure involving a large jewel, a lost fortune, and an evil man....who may be immortal.
This book started out fascinating, but ended just a little off...perhaps just slightly weird and over the top with magic. I would have liked to see more details with regards to the characters and their interaction - it seemed a bit rushed. However, it does end right (if a little quick and off center), and overall was a fun read. Graded B.
