Exiled in France, 17-year-old Henriette of England wishes she could use her magic to gain entry at court. Instead, her plan is to hide her magical talents, and accept an arranged marriage to the French kings younger brother. Henriette soon realizes her fianc prefers the company of young men to hers, and court magicians turn up killed by a mysterious sorcerer who uses forbidden magic. When an accident forces Henriette to reveal her uniquely powerful gift for enchantments to Louis, he asks for her help: she alone can defeat the dark magician threatening his authority and aid his own plans to build the new, enchanted seat of his power--the Palace of Versailles.

Good magic system, history, and queer rep. So-so characters. May read the next one, may not.

I picked this book up as a discarded arc from the library, not knowing much about it. After getting home, i realized it was YA that seemed to be a lot about French court politics. YA and politics - two things I tend to not care for. Almost didn't pick this book up.

The book was surprisingly enjoyable. Fabulous characters, intriguing plot, good writing. Loved it!

TheAromaofBooks Yay for unexpected wins!! 4y
