I think this book was really good but in my opinion the ending was kind of anticlimactic which is fine because the rest of the book wasn't :)
I loved the new characters and really despised the romance because I felt like it was dead but that's fine because the romance wasn't super prevalent.
Happy Reading!

I was lucky enough to read an early copy of this story and I was thrilled to be back in Camille's world for another magical adventure. This one deepens the themes of Book 1 and seeing a more mature Camille playing an even higher stakes game than she did in the first book made it a compulsive read.

Enchantee was one of my favorite reads of 2019 and I impatiently waited for the sequel. I was rewarded with a great duology conclusion filled with action, justice, danger and magic.
This book starts right where the first one left off with Camille and Sophie living in Hotel Seguin with the majority of Paris against magicians. The story brought back some of my favorite characters (Lazare, Chandon, Rosier) and introduced us to some new ones (Giselle and the Lost Girls, Blaise). The characters really made the book for me. I loved them so much! Camille was so strong in this book. She learned about her magic and accepted that she was a magician, which wasn't a bad thing, despite the people of Paris calling for magician's heads. Camille and Sophie had the best sibling relationship. They were there for each other no matter what. All the couples had amazing relationships, Camille and Lazare, Chandon and Foudriard and another I will not mention because spoilers.
A lot of this book was slow moving but absolutely not boring, as I expected from the first book. There were several different plot lines, Camille writing pamphlets for the Lost Girls, Lazare and his balloons, the play Sophie and Rosier put on, Les Marveilleux, Camille and the other magicians trying to figure out how to make a specific kind of magic. They all wove together seamlessly and all came together at the end. Since the majority of the book was slow moving, the ending seemed like a complete whirlwind and I loved it. My heart was in my throat and we kept getting thrown one thing after another.
The ending was so satisfying and really the perfect ending for what the story was in my opinion. I am sad to be leaving these characters after only 2 amazing books.

I am so sad about this, I enjoyed Enchantee so much , so it breaks my heart that o didn’t love this. I was so excited to get an ARC of this, but I just didn’t love it like I thought I would. So much dialogue and just not enough action. I found this to be quite flat and empty feeling to method time, I just couldn’t reconnect with the characters the way I did the first time, breaks my heart, but sadly a no from me.
Thanks to netgalley and the publisher for a free copy for an honest opinion
