⭐️⭐️ I really thought this book would have been right up my alley with European History and magic. Marie Antoinette usually always gets high marks, but this book left we wanting a bit more of something.

The intrigue was there along with the magic in the most famous of European courts, but it felt a bit blah. A retelling of history with curious bits of magic added in.

I did enjoy the fact that the author chose to have the characters give up memories and feelings for the magic to work. And that the losses have a deeper impact on not just the main characters but the weaving of the story.

Many thanks to NetGalley and Harper Voyager for the eARC in exchange for my honest review.
