The story was dark yet lighthearted at the same time. The themes and games were definitely violent, but I never found the gore descriptions to be too unsettling or overbearing. There was a good balance of high-stakes tension mixed in with the romance. Genevieve's confidence and cunning was also a refreshing change of pace from your typical romantasy FL! 

Overall a very fun read and I'm excited for the third book~

Un deuxième tome que j'ai un peu moins aimé que le précédent ...

J'attendais avec impatience le tome avec Genevieve (même si j'étais un peu hésitante parce que j'ai préféré sa soeur dans le précédent tome) ... Et j'ai été un peu déçue ><

Après le premier tome si original et si haletant, je m'attendais à quelque chose d'aussi enchanteur dans ce tome mais j'ai trouvé que l'intrigue avec le jeu de Knox ressemblait à une pâle copie d'Enchantra (et l'intrigue était plus brouillonne et trop rapide vers la fin) ... Et j'ai moins apprécié Genevieve (surtout au début pour toutes ses décisions qui sont loin d'être intelligentes ... Et je l'ai aussi trouvé très immature ?)

J'ai par contre adoré Rowin et sa famille qui m'ont à la fois enchanté et brisé le coeur et j'ai adoré toutes les descriptions de vêtements, de personnages et de lieux <3

Bref, une romantasy avec une touche d'horreur et de gothique que j'ai apprécié même si j'ai préféré le premier tome et que ce n'est pas un coup de coeur ! J'ai l'impression qu'il va y avoir une suite et j'espère avec les autres membres de la famille Silver !

A second book that I liked a little less than the previous one ...

I was eagerly awaiting the book with Genevieve (even though I was a little hesitant because I preferred her sister in the previous one) ... And I was a little disappointed ><

After the first book, so original and thrilling, I expected something just as enchanting in this one, but I found the story with Knox's game to be a pale copy of Enchantra (and the plot was more confusing and too fast-paced towards the end) ... And I liked Genevieve less (especially at the beginning for all her decisions that were far from intelligent ... And I also found her very immature ?)

On the other hand, I loved Rowin and her family who both enchanted and broke my heart, and I loved all the descriptions of clothes, characters, and places <3

In short, a romance with a touch of horror and gothic that I enjoyed even though I preferred the first book and it wasn't a favorite ! I have a feeling there's going to be a sequel, and I hope one with the other members of the Silver family !

I absolutely LOVED Enchantra! Honestly, for me, there’s no comparison between this and the first book. Everything just leveled up — the plot, the story, the romance, the spice, the games… I loved every bit of it!

It was super engaging and exciting. I especially loved how the different games were described — it was so easy to picture everything happening in my head like I was actually there. And the twists?? Especially towards the end?? Mind. Blown.

Genevieve completely stole the show for me — she’s a queen, period. And Rowin?? Ugh, their banter, their slow-burn romance, the secrets, the lies, the truths unraveling between them… it was just chef’s kiss. I loved how broody Rowin was from the beginning and how little by little, he started opening up. Meanwhile, Genevieve being her impulsive, blunt self made them the perfect chaotic match I didn’t know I needed.

It’s dark fantasy, so expect some gore, blood, and spice — but honestly, it was all woven in so well that it never felt overwhelming. It’s dark, it’s gritty, it’s beautiful in a twisted kind of way. It was straightforward but so immersive. Even though the story isn’t told in the first-person, I found it so much easier to read and get lost in compared to Phantasma.

There are so many moments I loved, but I have to say, there’s this super cute scene involving flower crowns that made me grin like a fool — and a very memorable enchanted room scene that… yeah, it lives rent-free in my head. Oh, and that letter towards the end?? Let’s just say I cried. Hard.

10/10 would re-read!!!
