Enchanting Sarah Greenberg

Written by Jennifer Inglis

Narrated by Eva Wilhelm

Food critic Sarah Greenberg is a normal thirty-nine-year-old content with her ordinary life. In fact, the only real excitement she has is the occasional hand she lends at her family’s Chicago magic shop.

Until one day when the ordinary becomes extraordinary and a simple introduction to her boyfriend’s teenage daughter unearths a family trait long dormant in Sarah.

Without even trying, she can do magic.

Her newfound, though late-blooming abilities make her part of a world she never imagined, and her family’s long lineage of Magycians unravels Sarah’s world.

But when she discovers her family’s store is in danger of being taken away by an old acquaintance, Zondra Bex, Sarah is forced to face an enemy more skilled and decades older than her.

Sarah must learn to develop her skills to protect her family from a foe that wants to wield the power embedded in the store’s location and rule the Magyckal world. But will embracing her newly discovered abilities eradicate everything she believed herself to be?

Part rom-com, part The Dresden Files with a dash of Jewish mythology, ENCHANTING SARAH GREENBERG is a funny, fantastical look into a woman’s struggle to find herself, believe in herself, and prove to everyone that she is extraordinary in her own way.

“Inglis has a light, comedic touch with this fantasy romance, Enchanting Sarah Greenberg…slightly bonkers worldbuilding brings the fun without ever sacrificing genuine emotion; despite the magical backdrop, Sarah and Colin feel wonderfully grounded. Readers will be spellbound.” – Publisher’s Weekly

Reviews for Enchanting Sarah Greenberg

[celtictangles · Rating: 2 out of 5 stars]

Although I enjoyed the basic premise of the book, the dialogue was halting and redundant, lacking meaningful exchanges that progressed the plot. The characters were interesting, but behaved very similarly to each other. There is a lot of time spent on mundane details and scenes that tend to drag on too long. I really enjoyed the Jewish culture of the main character’s family.

The worst thing ive ever wasted my time on. Sounds like it was written by a boomer trying to be young or stuck in a prepubecent mindset. Absolutely thumbs down

I absolutely loved this book, especially the world building, and the magical element was chef’s kiss. I hope the author would write more from this world, it would be a pleasure to read about the history of the shop, or even more of zondra and avi’s past

I didn’t finish after chapter 5. There was a lot to like, but it just wasn’t the right pace or style for me in terms of writing.

Also, the voice actor’s tones and cadence were also very clear and professional, but hard for me to get into.

I think this is more about my personal preferences than anything else. I tried to broaden my horizons (I’m usually into high fantasy and adventure, not low fantasy) but this wasn’t the right fit.

I did enjoy the book but the pacing was off and it was repetitive at times. Also the MC was a combination of smart and stupid as the day is long.

What a fun book. Sometimes the character was a little annoying because I expect a bit more ‘grown up’ from an almost 40 year old. But overall I enjoyed it a lot and would love to read/listen to more from this author
