Magic has been a subject of fascination and wonder for centuries. Stories and legends often depict magic as an all-powerful force capable of achieving anything. However, one thing that remains constant is the notion that magic cannot annihilate the enchantment. The concept of enchantment, whether it be a spell, charm, or curse, is deeply rooted in the fabric of magic. Enchantment is the intrinsic property that gives magic its allure and power. It is the essence that makes magic magical.
This is not the story of the trials. This is the story of its people. This is not an attempt to explain the events of 1692. It is an attempt to bring to life the victims who died so unjustly. In this book, we will walk side by side with the destitute Sarah Good as she realizes that after having lost all she owns, her reputation, her baby, and even her life will still be taken from her. We stand at the bar with Rebecca Nurse, a sweet little old lady who is sentenced to hang for what she must have perceived to be the most heinous of crimes. We witness George Burroughs at the gallows, a former minister now condemned to die for his supposed alliance with Satan, as he delivers a speech so stirring that it takes quick thinking from his enemies to prevent the crowd from rushing forth to cut him down. We feel our own breaths catching as we watch the cruel and greedy Sheriff George Corwin piling rocks onto the fragile eighty-year-old body of Giles Corey, who is determined to die without entering a plea so that his sons will still get the inheritance he promised them.
In this book, we will walk side by side with the destitute Sarah Good as she realizes that after having lost all she owns, her reputation, her baby, and even her life will still be taken from her. It would be only 72 years after the arrival of the Mayflower that the events in Salem would make it blatantly obvious that humanity had already blown it again.
It is the essence that makes magic magical. Magic, in its various forms, is often portrayed as a force that can manipulate and shape reality. It can conjure fire, teleport objects, heal wounds, and even change the fabric of time.
The Salem Witch Hunt: A Captivating Guide to the Hunt and Trials of People Accused of Witchcraft in Colonial Massachusetts
Decades after witch-hunting had begun to die down in Europe, North America was about to witness its bloodiest witch hunt in history. The Massachusetts of 1692 was a very different one to the state we know today. Populated by colonists, many of them a generation or less from life in an England bathed in religious turmoil, Massachusetts was not the safe haven that the fleeing Puritans had hoped it would be. Persecuted for their faith in Europe, the Puritans had pictured a kind of utopia founded on biblical principles. They saw the New World as a new beginning, a kind of second chance for humanity. It would be only 72 years after the arrival of the Mayflower that the events in Salem would make it blatantly obvious that humanity had already blown it again.

However, no matter how potent and formidable magic may be, it cannot annul its own enchantment. Magic is bound by the rules and limitations of its enchantment. It cannot undo or eradicate the very thing that gives it strength. Just as a painter cannot paint without a canvas, magic cannot exist without its enchantment. The enchantment is the foundation upon which magic is built. It is the source of its power and the fuel that sustains its existence. Without the enchantment, magic becomes nothing more than smoke and mirrors, an illusion devoid of substance. Attempts to annihilate or negate the enchantment only serve to weaken magic itself. It is like trying to extinguish a fire by pouring gasoline on it. Such efforts would only serve to enhance and magnify the enchantment, making magic more potent and unpredictable. Magic and enchantment are intrinsically intertwined. They are two sides of the same coin, forever linked in a symbiotic relationship. Magic cannot exist without enchantment, and the enchantment cannot exist without magic. In conclusion, magic cannot annihilate the enchantment. The enchantment is the very essence that gives magic its power and allure. It is an intrinsic part of magic's existence, and any attempt to erase it would only serve to enhance and magnify its potency. Magic and enchantment are forever linked, and one cannot exist without the other..

I found "Magic cannot annihilate the enchantment" to be extremely confusing and hard to follow. The plot seemed convoluted, with too many characters and storylines that never quite come together. The writing style was also very choppy and disjointed, making it difficult to engage with the story. Additionally, the dialogue felt forced and unnatural, lacking depth and authenticity. Overall, I struggled to connect with the characters and found the entire reading experience to be frustrating and unsatisfying.
2. Michael - 2/5 stars
While "Magic cannot annihilate the enchantment" had an intriguing premise, I found the execution to be lacking. The pacing was incredibly slow, with little action or excitement to keep me engaged. The descriptions were also overly verbose and often unnecessarily detailed, making it hard for me to maintain interest. Furthermore, the characters felt flat and one-dimensional, lacking the depth and development that would have made them more relatable. Overall, I was disappointed with this book and felt that it didn't live up to its potential.
3. Emily - 2/5 stars
"Magic cannot annihilate the enchantment" had an interesting concept, but it fell short in several areas. The plot was confusing and hard to follow, with frequent jumps in time and perspective that left me feeling disconnected from the story. Additionally, the writing style was overly flowery and filled with unnecessary metaphors, which detracted from the overall readability. The pacing was also uneven, with moments of intense action followed by long periods of stagnation. While there were some glimpses of creativity and potential, I ultimately found this book to be underwhelming and forgettable.
