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

iread2much Also, updated title, but has to use the old title because I couldn‘t find the new title on Litsy 8mo

Yevs Rencourt, the chandler‘s apprentice, had lost his wig. After the last customer left the shop, he searched through baskets of curling wicks and blocks of beeswax and teetering stacks of bills.

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.

Bette Same. I remember liking this too, but didn‘t care enough to read the next one. 9mo

At the Tuileries, swarming members of the staff prepared for the king‘s visit. And through all this chaos and glory snaked the Seine, the sun glittering silver and gold on her waters as she wound her way into the future.

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. â­ï¸â­ï¸â­ï¸â­ï¸

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 EnchanteÌe 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?

Kelly_the_Bookish_Sidekick I wonder if they think the French word is turning people off in the USA. I'm curious to see what the new name will be. I know I have two copies of a Suzanne Young book: Hotel Ruby in hardcover & Hotel for the Lost in paperback that I picked up secondhand. (Haven't read either, so I can't say if the name change was warranted.) 4y
mdemanatee @Kelly_the_Bookish_Sidekick yeah, I‘m not sure. If anything I thought the French words would be a draw. Author‘s statement on Instagram talked about it‘s fit with our MC journey but I can‘t help but think it‘s a marketing move. Do what you gotta do to sell your books but I am interested in the thought process behind the decision. 4y
Kar2b Looks like it will be “All that Glitters†(book 1) and “Everything that Burns†(book 2) - what I dislike it that the covers won‘t match on the hardcovers. (edited) 4y

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.

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

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

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!

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.

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.

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!

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.

Distracting myself with reading while my poor kitty is having surgery. (Just a dental cleaning, but I worry.)

I‘m really enjoying Enchantée, but then, it‘s magic in the French Revolution: what‘s not to like?

Writing style is fun and there are great characters.

bookseller_cate Posted this and the vet called almost immediately. My baby is doing fine and didn‘t need any extractions (which I was worried about). I get to pick her up at 3pm as scheduled. 5y
