Welcome to Litsy!

This book was part of my Read or Unhaul 12/24 Books Challenge and it was a 4 star read! My idea for this challenge is to try reading around forty pages of 12 or 24 of books that aren't a priority for me atm, and then decide if I want to continue reading them, or if the book isn‘t for me and needs to find a new home.
More about this challenge and my TBR on my blog: https://leticiatoraci.wordpress.com/2024/04/29/read-or-unhaul-12-24-books-challe...

I like the setting (Paris before the French Revolution) & the magic system (requires sorrow & blood) but the writing wasn‘t super engaging & the side plot of a flying ballon was boring. Also, the female characters made really stupid decisions that didn‘t make sense.
Camille steps into the cost & pain to do magic in an attempt to save herself & her sister. She meets other magic users & and learns the dark history of magic in versailles.
2/5 stars

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

The French Revolution has always been a historical topic that interested me, so having a book immersed in this setting intrigued me and made it a quick read. The characters themselves were decent, however I found a majority of them unlikeable at times. The plot was unique and I liked the story itself, however I don‘t know if I‘ll find myself reading its sequel.

I loved this book! Magic, romance, the setting Paris, France before the revolution. I was completely swept up into the story this book as made it to my keeper bookcase for sure! #romantsy #bigjunereadathon @Clwojick

This was a unique read. It was full of magic and glamour. It was so much fun to read. It was beautifully written. It was a unique take on the French Revolution. I can‘t wait to see what happens in the next book. ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

My beginning of Autumn Book Haul. Have you read any of these?

I love the concept of the French Revolution mixed with magic. This book was very cool and quite unique. It offers great descriptions of Paris at this time. I wish there had been a bit more depth to the magical world, but perhaps that will come in the sequel.

Wow! I really enjoyed this mix of magic and revolutionary France. I found Camille to be very likable, and I was rooting for her throughout each chapter. I can‘t wait for the second book to come out!

On this Bastille Day, let me distract myself from my cancelled 2020 Paris vacation with the news that the Enchantée duology is getting new titles. I will reserve judgement until I see how these titles serve the overall story arc, especially as I am sure this was a hard decision to make.

The last title change I remember is when Rachel Hawkins‘ Royals became Prince Charming. Thoughts?

A nice change of genre's. In the time of Marie Antoinette, it's a story of magic in the time of Paris. I'm not normally one for this kind of story but it was told so well I really enjoyed it.

My latest book just came in 📚

Revolutionary stories have my heart, mix it in with 18th century glamour and magical realism of Versailles and I‘m in love!

This story addressed classism, racism, privilege. I love that probably the most. It still held up it‘s end of romance, but it did not shy away from the heavier topics. If anything, this debut sets the stage for what‘s to come next. I can‘t wait for the second book to come out!

It‘s 9:46 pm and I just finished my first of three court reports due this week. I promised myself I could open this once the first report (incidentally also the most involved) was done. It was totally worth it! Thank you so much @Avanders ! As always it is a humbling and spectacular box. I‘m insanely excited about the oven grip 🤣 #coffeebeanbookclub #cbbc

Not loving it, but not hating it, either.

So I am just a little late, life has been so busy! These are the books that I took home to read over the summer. They were all really great, but a few really stood out to me: Enchantee, Sadie, The Hazel Wood, The Assassination of Brangwain Spurge, We Are Okay, and Heretics Anonymous. #summerreading #favorites #2019reading

Soo, I had to mainly listen 🎧 to this one because I‘m Reading a ton of different books right now for work events! This novel was totally outside my normal genre, but I did like the historical/fantasy aspect of it. I will be recommending it to my Teen Read-a-Latte group! 📚 thanks for reading with me!

This is the reason why I love #lmpbc so much. I never would have picked this book up myself. I‘m not normally into books with a fantasy theme or historical fiction, but I ended up really enjoying this one! I will be sending it out by the end of the week! @ambam1987 @cwarnier @whippoorwill815

I loved this book, I have had it on my shelves for a while and am really glad I picked it up now. Love the cover! There is a second book coming out next summer I believe! #bookcovers

Book, coffee, and candle on this overcast morning since it‘s a bit too humid to sit outside.

Hey ladies, sorry this book is a bit long. Hopefully, you don't mind.
I will get it sent out probably Monday.
I really enjoyed this book, it's magic and the fact that it is set in Paris.

Here is my starting line up for today. We see where it leads to after this. 💖

Spent some time audio-puzzling. I finished listening to Enchantee and quite enjoyed it! It is more of character driven story and on the quiet side, but it is also very atmospheric. I enjoyed it a lot.

Loved this. I will admit the plot and character development could have been a touch stronger, but the style of writing and sense of place was so bonkers good, I didn‘t care.

I‘ll definitely be looking out for the author‘s next book.

Library hold came in, so I‘m diving into it while doing dishes #audiohousework

Paris. Magic and revolution and a girl trying to save her family and survive.

This was....almost always on the verge of being really great, but never quite got there.

BORING! SLOW. DEPRESSING. DNF.

I just don't know about this one. It's moving so slowly and it's so sad. The writing is so good, but I just don't like books like this.
Has anyone else read it? What did you think?

It's expected to go up to 100 degrees today so I'm planning on staying indoors in an air conditioned house with this baby !
🙅‍♀️🌡☀️

Everyone in the house is finally asleep... I want to read but I also need to shower (sick kids changes the schedule). Realistically, I want to go take a nap. I'm TIRED! ♡

Fantastique!

I am in love with this book! The politics, the characters, the twists and turns of the plot all kept me engaged! I loved how deep the characters were. You instantly form a connection with Camille and Lazare, and Alain is so frustrating you hate seeing his name. The villain is fantastic, but I do wish his motives were explored a little more.

I highly highly recommend this book!

I'm in love with the gorgeous end-pages of Enchantée featuring #paris!

Enchantee really lives up to its name, with a beautiful depiction of courtly life in the time of Marie Antoinette. Camille can work magic, and she needs it. Orphaned, with a sick sister to support and a wastrel brother, she uses her wits and magical skills to keep her family together. With intrigue round every corner and where a face is but a courtly mask, she has to learn who to trust and who to fear. Wonderful, with fabulous attention to detail.

My reading buddy is back where she belongs.

Zelda‘s got some meds for the next couple weeks, but is otherwise doing great. ❤️
