The first 400 pages were really enjoyable and went smoothly but the last 100 were a bit messy.
Lou is a bad bitch, we love a confident queen.
Reid is definitely my fav book boyfriend I love him so much 😙
Ansel is so adorable I love him with my whole heart please protect him at all costs.
However I thought that the romance was a bit too fast for their situation but it was sweet so it’s okay.
I appreciated the fact that it was Reid who was still a virgin when they had s*x while Lou already had partner of that kind, because usually in media it’s always the woman who is a virgin and the man who had a lot of experience so it’s cool that this time it was the other way around.
All the informations that we’re thrown at our faces at the end of the book we’re overwhelming and a bit too much.
The archbishop is Lou’s real father ? Okay fine
Madame Labelle is a witch ? Well there are plenty of them already
Madame Labelle is Reid’s mother ? Alright
Reid is the king’s son ? Okay..
Reid can now use magic ? Why..
You know what I mean ? It’s too much and things are really messy.
I really don’t like the fact that men are able to use magic when the whole time it was like « only women can be witches » then suddenly because his wife is close to death he can use it too where no one ever did it before ?
Some things don’t make sense but I’ll let it slide because I enjoyed the whole book except that, I love their dynamic, I want to adopt Ansel, I wanna snatch Lou from Reid and I’m in love with Reid.

• The mechanics behind the white witches. I LOVE how their magic has limits and how the magic is presented. I also liked how the magic has a scent in this universe.
• Relationship between Reid and Lou was fast but surprisingly believable.
• I wasn’t expecting the final “twist” i guess you could say. A cruel twist of fate and i’m excited to see where it will lead in the next book.
Things I didn’t liked:
• I don’t think many of the side characters aside from the main few were developed.
• Some parts are cringey and predictable but overall not too much.
