I thoroughly enjoyed this book. I just visited Paris recently, so all the location was so fresh in my brain and I could picture everything described. The setting and stakes of the book made it hard to put down! I’d have to say that the beginning of the book was stronger than the end. We were told that the villain was bad countless times, as well as how handsome he was, how beautiful everyone was. And by the end, when the villain does awful stuff—it just felt like telling instead of showing. Some of the dialogue and plot points felt a bit cliché and scripted. Still really enjoyed it!

Even weeks after finishing this book, I still have mixed feelings. I enjoyed it but the majority of the book felt like it just dragged its feet and that made reading this sometimes feel like a task. But! I liked the characters and the setting was so vivid and beautiful to read. I do believe I will be reading the sequel because I do wish to know what happens next with all of the characters. And to read more about lavish parties, gambling, and pretty dresses.

First- warning- Enchantée and All That Glitters is the same book that had a title change.
French revolution from the perspective of a girl who is using magic to save her sister from poverty and jumps between the worlds of the poor and the aristocrats, and of course there's a boy. More lighthearted than Les Mes, but far darker than Aladdin.

This story was a rollercoaster of emotions as you follow the life of Camille just before the French Revolution breaks out. There are some moments that don't flow in the book and that seem a bit forced, but overall the story was lovely and the characters relatable.

Fantasy, romance and the French Revolution - it seems like the perfect combination for me. I just didn't quite like the characters enough to get fully invested.

I enjoyed the magic and the court drama and the romance. But just a bit too YA and a smidge too long.
