I like the setting (Paris before the French Revolution) & the magic system (requires sorrow & blood) but the writing wasn‘t super engaging & the side plot of a flying ballon was boring. Also, the female characters made really stupid decisions that didn‘t make sense.
Camille steps into the cost & pain to do magic in an attempt to save herself & her sister. She meets other magic users & and learns the dark history of magic in versailles.
2/5 stars
