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!!!
