Publisher's summary
The Princess Bride and Buffy the Vampire Slayer meet Sarah J. Maas' Throne of Glass in this Breton-inspired fantasy debut brimming with wry humor, epic adventure, and an irresistible romance.
Lilac Trécesson is a prisoner in her parents' castle after a most wicked secret was revealed on the eve of her fifteenth birthday. Years later, her Accession looms upon her father's decision to abdicate, and between the riotous townsfolk and scheming noble bent on snatching her throne, she prepares for the worst… Until a letter arrives from The Witch of Lupine Grotto, containing a curious offer to banish her curse forever.
She begrudgingly trades her coronet for a cloak and ventures into the forest Brocéliande, only to find herself cornered by a bloodthirsty barkeep who demands her help in exchange for protection against the even deadlier forces of the woods.
With only the protection of her inherited dagger—and unsolicited help of the sardonic stranger who inserts himself on her quest—Lilac must find the impious enchantress and return in time to claim her crown. Pity the fool to underestimate the girl with subpar blade skills but the spite to make up for it.
This is the tale of a cursed princess,
A crestfallen killer,
The town that wants them to burn,
And the witch who can save them both.

To enter the woods as a human means death… But I am no mere human. They call me, “witch.” As one of the last surviving witches, Faelyn’s sole duty is to keep the protective barriers on the forests where the lykin roam—creatures who can shed flesh for fur—sparing nearby humans from their violent, beastly natures. When she has an unlikely encounter with the rare, primordial spirit of the moon, Faelyn finds herself not only the object of the Wolf King’s desire, but essential to his ability to keep his crown.

Dantess wants to follow in the footsteps of his dead grandfather—a legendary priest of War—but his father forbids it. In fact, his father’s hatred of war lands him in a cell within the god’s temple. The only way to free him is from the inside, so Dantess must choose: let his father die or defy his upbringing, become a priest, and win his father’s freedom in the temple’s deadly Game of War. Torn between the legacies of his father and grandfather, Dantess finds that both paths hide secrets that threaten to destroy everything he cares about, including his sanity.

I'd give it more stars if I could!
Brocéliande is a magical land full of mysterious creatures living amongst regular (often clueless and frightened) humans. Add in a cursed princess with sass aplenty, an evil fiancé, a vengeful witch, a smoking hot vampire, a scary af fae king, and tell an engaging story with multiples of my favorite tropes, ding ding ding... you got a winner! Instalust, enemies to lovers, forced proximity, road trip full of perils, you get the drift. Yummmmmm.
Were there a couple of coincidences I'd find cheesy in a non-fractured fairy tale story? Yes. But this is supposedly based on Breton folklore and those types of events are often featured in folklore so they're to be expected.
And OMG. The narration was TOP NOTCH!! I generally listen at 2.0 because life is short, there are many books to read, my brain needs the speed to keep up with my thoughts. Not only did I lower the speed, I actually went back multiple times to relisten to parts because the narrators did such a great job of bringing the beautiful prose to life.
Not gonna lie, I looked at the 17 hours length and groaned. My ADHD brain does not function well with longer books. Even if it's good, I lose patience with the story. Yes, I did want certain things to happen faster (no spoilers) but the writing and narration was so good that I would have listened to 20 more hours.
Note: HEA implied so no huge cliffhanger (thankfully!) but according to the author's goodreads comments, a sequel is coming soon. Yay! I can't wait to see what happens next!
Note: this is a newly published New Adult version of a previously released Young Adult novel and as such has material more suited for an older audience, such as on-screen sex and violence.

An urban, historical, dark-romance fantasy
Review: ‘Disenchanted’ by Brianna Sugalski (English first | Español debajo)
Genre: dark-fantasy historical romance
Book # 1 in: ‘A Lay of Ruinous Reign’
Tropes: instalust; enemies-to-lovers; hate-to-love; touch-her-and-die; paranormal romance; romantasy; vampire x princess; morally grey MMC; strong FMC
POV: dual, first person
My rating
Story: 3.5 stars
Narration: 5 stars
An urban, historical (medieval) fantasy romance, with fae, witches, vampires, shape-shifters; and great world building
This follows the story of Lilac, a princess who is about to inherit her father’s throne, a fearsome fae king, because he wants to abdicate. She’s being forced to marry a royal member, who is a very bad human being, because she’s not trusted to take the throne alone since a secret of hers was revealed a few years ago: she has the ability to speak an arcana lingua associated with demons. When she receives a letter from a witch who offers to help her get rid of it she ventures out of her castle and into the woods to search for her. In her quest she meets Garin, a century old, morally grey vampire who hates to fall for her. They lust each other as much as they hate each other; and then they just fall for each other. Being absolutely honest I felt something missing in their connection and wonder how it’ll develop in book # 2.
I think this book needed to be longer in some parts and shorter in others. I would have liked for some side characters, such as the evil intent of future mother-in-law of Lilac, or Lilac herself to be more developed. I hope to see more of their background in the next book. And there were other parts that felt too long and out of pace, although I understand that the pace of this book is slow and can appreciate a slow world building as well. But I do think that some of the back and forth scenes between the FMC and the MMC could have been refined.
This is a great debut novel. The writing was beautiful and poetic. The world building was detailed and enthralling and the narration was magnificent. Top moment of the narration for me: the female narrator singing an old fairy song that absolutely pulled you in; I went back to replay it several times. *Chef’s kiss*
I can’t wait to see what happens next and will be reading next book to find out when it comes out.
I’m grateful with the author and Enticing Journey for providing me an ALC of this book.

Mi calificación
Historia: 3.5 estrellas
Narración: 5 estrellas
Un romance de fantasía urbano e histórico (medieval), con hadas, brujas, vampiros, cambia-formas; y una gran construcción del mundo
Esta narración sigue la historia de Lilac, una princesa que está a punto de heredar el trono de su padre, un temible rey hada, porque él quiere abdicar. Se ve obligada a casarse con un miembro real, que es una persona muy mala, porque no confían en ella para tomar el trono sola desde que se reveló un secreto suyo hace unos años: tiene la capacidad de hablar una lengua arcana asociada con los demonios. Cuando recibe una carta de una bruja que ofrece ayudarla a deshacerse de esto, se aventura fuera de su castillo y hacia el bosque para buscarla. En su búsqueda conoce a Garin, un vampiro moralmente gris de un siglo de edad que odia enamorarse de ella. Se desean tanto como se odian; y luego simplemente se enamoran el uno del otro. Siendo absolutamente honesta, sentí que faltaba algo en su conexión y me pregunto cómo se desarrollará la misma en el libro #2.
Creo que este libro necesitaba ser más largo en algunas partes y más corto en otras. Me hubiera gustado que algunos personajes secundarios, como la malvada futura suegra de Lilac, o Lilac misma, estuvieran más desarrollados. Espero ver más de su trasfondo en el próximo libro. Y hubo otras partes que se sintieron demasiado largas y fuera de ritmo, aunque entiendo que el ritmo de este libro es lento y también puedo apreciar una construcción de mundo lenta. Pero creo que algunas de las escenas de ida y vuelta entre la FMC y el MMC podrían haber sido pulidas.
Este es un gran debut como novela. La escritura fue hermosa y poética. La construcción del mundo fue detallada y cautivadora y la narración fue magnífica. El momento cumbre de la narración para mí: la narradora femenina cantando una antigua canción de hadas que te absorbía por completo; volví a reproducirla varias veces. *Beso del chef*
No puedo esperar para ver qué sucede a continuación y estaré leyendo el próximo libro para descubrirlo cuando salga.
Estoy agradecida con la autora y Enticing Journey por proporcionarme una copia avanzada de este audiolibro.

Dual narration with a hot vampire and a fierce princess! 5 stars!
Fantastic fantasy audiobook! Loved Krys Janae and Zachary Johnson as the leads. They did such a great job and brought the on page chemistry to life in the narration.
The book was packed with action, adventure and romance!
I’m excited for book 2!

5 star listen!
I loved this book and the audiobook made the experience even better!
The narrators, Krys Janae and Zachary Johnson, did such a phenomenal job bringing Lilac and Garin to life, as well as the rest of the memorable cast of side characters. Krys does an amazing French accent that I was delighted with.
I've had this book on my shelf for a while but I'm so glad I waited for the audiobook to come out. The dual narration added so much to the listening experience: you felt like Lilac and Garin were bantering in the room with you.
I literally cannot believe this is Brianna Sugalski’s debut novel! She is a master storyteller and lyrical writer. Her writing style is poetic and had me pulling down my physical copy to highlight my favorite quotes while listening.
Brianna eases you into the worldbuilding which is a beautiful mix of historical truths and whimsical, dark fantasy.
The book is filled with hot, truly morally gray vampires, tricky fae, and shapeshifters in a medieval setting that is familiar and yet exhilaratingly new.
I was instantly intrigued by Lilac, the headstrong princess cursed with the ability to speak the language spoken in the dark forest by vampires, fairies, and all the other creatures that call it home.
Lilac and Garin had fantastic banter and their relationship was my favorite part. Who doesn't love a hot vampire love interest?
This book does not end in a cliffhanger WHICH I LOVED, but the HFN leaves the door wide open for book two which I cannot wait for! I need more Garin ASAP!

Nothing Disenchanting about this Book
First of all, loved the narration. Both Krys Janae and Zachary Johnson did outstanding jobs. The story itself was also outstanding. I will say it seemed a little boring/slow in the very beginning, but once Lilac escaped the palace, it was nonstop action. Character development was great. Getting the back story on Lilac's "curse" was enlightening. All the magic folk were awesome in their own right. Looking forward to the next book.
I received this book for free in exchange for an honest review.

Lilac Trécesson is a prisoner in her parents' castle after a most wicked secret was revealed on the eve of her fifteenth birthday. Years later, her Accession looms upon her father's decision to abdicate, and between the riotous townsfolk and scheming nobles bent on snatching her throne, she prepares for the worst… Until a letter arrives from The Witch of Lupine Grotto, containing a curious offer to banish her curse forever. She begrudgingly trades her coronet for a cloak and ventures into the forest Brocéliande, only to find herself cornered by a bloodthirsty barkeep who demands her help in exchange for protection against the even deadlier forces of the woods. With only the protection of her inherited dagger—and unsolicited help of the sardonic stranger who inserts himself on her quest—Lilac must find the impious enchantress and return in time to claim her crown. Pity the fool to underestimate the girl with subpar blade skills but the spite to make up for it. This is the tale of a cursed princess, a crestfallen killer, the town that wants them to burn, and the witch who can save them both.
This has definitely become one of my favorite audiobooks, as the narration of Krys Janae and Zachary Johnson was phenomenal. I couldn't believe this was the author's debut. The world building was spot on as I could easily feel, smell, and visualize the environment around me. Each character was meticulously created and introduced in the best ways. I loved the interactions between Lilac and Garin, but I needed more. I felt like the story was missing key moments between them in order to believe their evolution as a couple. I still recommend this read. I can’t wait to see where the author takes us next in this series. This is my honest opinion, freely given.

Story telling
The story telling by Brianna in combination with the performances by Krys and Zach were other worldly. I am not traditionally a fantasy reader but the author hooked me from the prologue. It was a masterpiece and I hope this becomes a series because I NEED to know what happens next!!!

great urban fantavy
This is an audio review. I will be honest when I first started listening I was not impressed. It sounded very stilted and the accents so forced and like they were reading to us.
So why such high review? The story is very good. Great world building excellent. Characters pretty good. Plot excellent twists? Lots of them and so so good...
So you think maybe I'll read instead... No. Get the audio and hang in there. It gets so much better.
The female even sings a fairy song with sound affects that make it sound enchanting. The male narrator his vampire voice is so sexy. I loved Garron.
The story is an intriguing urban fantasy with lots of different creatures and a great vampire take.
Lilac is a likable and relatable female lead and a curvy girl that likes to eat. I think one of my favorite scenes are when they first meet and Garron offers her food and she orders the menu. No not to see a menu but everything they offered . I will be admit I laughed out loud because I could see Garron's expression.
Oh and I really loved the fairy king, and the witch Ophelia and the twist there.
So if you like urban fantasy, strong princesses vampires, fae, witches, lots of action, twist and turns grab this!
