I received this book for free from MTMC Tours, Author in exchange for an honest review. This does not affect my opinion of the book or the content of my review.

A Breton princess at the peak of the French Renaissance, Lilac lives prisoner in her parents' castle after a wicked secret is revealed on the eve of her tenth birthday soirée. Years later, her coronation ceremony looms, and between the riotous townsfolk and scheming nobleman bent on snatching the throne, Lilac prepares for the worst...

Until a mysterious letter arrives from The Witch of Lupine Grotto, detailing a curious offer to cure her darkness forever. Lilac begrudgingly trades her coronet for a cloak and ventures into the forest Brocéliande in pursuit of the impious enchantress at the edge of town. With only the protection of an inherited dagger-and, unsolicited help of the sardonic stranger who inserts himself on her quest-she must traverse Brocèliande and return in time to claim her rightful position as sovereign monarch.

This is the story of a cursed princess,
A crestfallen killer,
The town that wants them to burn,
And the witch that can save them both.

What to expect from Disenchanted?

I LOVED this book and I could barely put it down! Meet Lilac, a valient but slightly reckless young princess who begins her quest in search of a cure to her “curse”. From the very first pages, I knew I was going to like her and she really does not disappoint. She is AMAZING, I love her sense of humor and even though she faces so many dangerous situations, her determination is admirable. Out of nowhere, she quickly meets Garin and I can now say he is also a new favorite character. I had read in previous reviews of Disenchanted that he resembles a bit of Flynn Rider from  the Disney movie Tangled and even though there are huge differences, Garin definitely has the same charm. Aah, I truly loved him! He is so sassy, cunning, incredibly shameless but also sweet and caring. I loved the banter between him and Lilac, they make the best team!
Along Lilac’s journey, we meet so many amazing characters including Lorietta, Sable, a few Darklings and Ophelia, they each had their small side story and I just love reading about them. One of my least favorite characters is Sinclair which is okay because he is one of the villains of this story and we are not supposed to like him.
Disenchanted is a book about adventure, magic, traveling, magical creatures, lots of bantering, romance, curses, fighting for a kingdom, wishing for food, pastries and a possible nap… it really has it all! I enjoyed reading it and I cannot recommend it enough!

Disenchanted Aesthetics!

I absolutely adored Disenchanted and I still feel lost in the beautiful world author Brianna Sugalski created, so I thought it would be fun to create Aesthetics for both main characters – Lilac and Garing! These of course are my own versions and how I visualize their aesthetics. ♥
