This book took a while to get interesting. I feel like the first half had a lot of detail and the second half was a bit rushed. The characters weren’t especially interesting but I did feel like I was on their side and wanted them to succeed. I don’t usually read historic fiction but I liked the Paris setting. This book feels very YA.

This book is so charming. From the premise to the execution, it was a delight to have accompanied me through the holiday rush. I quite liked the magic system and how it ties in with the aristocrats and how they are seen by the citizens of Paris. It gives some truth to their gossip of royals using tonics from fountains of youths and sacrifice because in a way it is. 

I did not know it was a part of a series, though, so I might check the rest out.
