Such a fun read if you’re a fan of the enemies to lovers trope. All the characters have good and bad things going for them, and even though this is the first book in a series, there was noticeable character development and growth. I am a glutton for stories set in France, and thought the world building was just enough to establish that this world isn’t like our world… but it’s similar enough. Really loved the whole ‘church versus the witches’ part of the story, and I hope we read more about this in the next books!
3.5 stars, but it didn't feel right to round up to 4. This was a fun read, don't get me wrong! I was down to clown with the stupid enemies to lovers forced relationship nonsense. I also really liked the magic system and the idea that all magic had a price, though that rule didn't seem to apply to magic users that weren't the main character. I was pretty let down by the end of the book. The climax didn't hit me very hard, and I wish that Reid and Lou's love had been shown through an action rather than a speech at the end. I think that using the framework of them being married lends itself to a quieter/more domestic love language, or at least quieter than "here's all the reasons I love you spoken out loud in blunt terms."
