«Set against the burgeoning throes of revolution, this immersive drama makes brilliant use of its conceit, suggesting that the decadent opulence of the French nobility was maintained by a fragile illusion that depended on the abject sorrow and blood of the French people. The period detail is exquisite, with Camille’s family situation and the inclusion of the problems surrounding the development of the hot-air balloon (Camille falls for an aeronaut) enabling readers to see what daily life was like for various classes of people as well as what new technologies were on the horizon. Fans of substantial historical romance as well as fantasy will be thoroughly enchanted.»

Literary Review on Enchantée

«I’ve been waiting for so long for Liberte´ to be released. It finally happened this month and it was just the perfect ending for this world and these characters I love so much! Historical fantasy is a tough genre to nail but Gita Trelease makes it look like a walk in the park. These books give you pure escapism as you get lost among the glamour and danger of 18th century Parisian palaces and backstreets. I felt like I was there experiencing it all first hand with Camille and I couldn’t love them more!»

Bookworm Escapes

«Enchantée is a lit firework crackling with treacherous magic, decadent romance and disguises that take on lives of their own. I adore this gorgeous, deliciously addictive book!»

Stephanie Garber, author of <i>Caraval </i>on <i>Enchantée</i>

«Distinctive characters, vivid 18th-century images of Paris and Versailles, lively French-infused dialogue, an appealing heroine, and an upbeat ending propel this lengthy romantic fantasy. Romance and fantasy readers will enjoy the magic realism, ruse and tension of Camille’s double identity, authentic historical references, and Camille’s daring, passionate spirit. A must-have.»
