The Encanto's Daughter by Melissa de la Cruz is a fantasy book for young adults. If the number of books this author has written and published is any indication of her popularity, this age group must love her books. This is the first one I have read.
I found the characterization to be very good with a few inconsistencies. The main character, MJ, is half human half encanto. After being raised by a human mother in the human world, and spending most of her life on the run and in hiding, she is summoned to the palace because her father the King has been murdered and she is to be queen. She is quite childish and doesn't easily take the advice she is given, preferring to think she knows best in a place she is not familiar with. Her childishness is a bit irritating at times.
Besides the characterization flaws, the plot is well done with some twists and turns that are quite intriguing. The descriptive details are also a nice addition. Overall, I think this is a three star book.
