I really enjoyed this one, perhaps because I was expecting nothing special, but actually it ticked all my boxes: exciting plot, interesting and well-developed romance, witches. I found the coded-France setting to sometimes be a bit laboured and there were certainly similarities to other popular fantasy/romance series (e.g. From Blood and Ash) but I found this surpassed them because time was taken to develop the romance and it didn't fall into the instalove trap and there were some twists that I didn't see coming
