Read more of my review at between-the-shelves.com!

I received an eARC of this from NetGalley and and Flatiron books in exchange for my honest review. What a wild ride this book was! I’m not usually a fan of historical fiction, but Gita Trelease put a magical spin on the era of the French Revolution that will have you absolutely enchanted (pun intended).

While, for me, the beginning of the book was a bit slow, once Camille makes her entrance in Versailles, I didn’t want to put the book down. This book has almost everything that you could want: magic, intrigue, romance, revolution, the taking down of the powers in charge.

Trelease’s writing reflects the subject matter of the book as well; including French phrases (with a key at the back of the book) adds to the magic and intrigue of the story. Her lyrical style transports the reader to the magical version of historical France that she has created, making the book even more enjoyable. This fantastical retelling of the French Revolution will have readers spellbound.
