About this listen
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 10th 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 gregarious 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.

this princess will find a way to save herself
I really enjoyed this book, I thought Lilac was a wonderful lead character and I loved watching her grow and develop on her journey.
I loved that even when she thought everything was lost and she was completely powerless she never really gave in, a part of her was always wondering, trying to think of the next step and not always to save herself but those she had come to care for.
I loved her defiance and refusal to be subjected in a world dominated by men. at almost every turn she defied them and their expectations of her and that was really wonderful to see.
I'm excited to see what this author brings us next, her weaving of fantasy and awaking feminist power is beautiful.
Also much praise is due to the narrator who gave all these characters real soul and made them so likeable and the villains villains but without feeling like panto. Absolutely brilliant job. I look forward to hearing more excellent books narrated by you.
the only draw back to this book is that we are introduced to a character right at the begining and I would like to know more about him....

Unique and fresh with flawless narration
Favourite Quote: The world is full of reasonable monsters and dastardly humans and vica versa...... leave the blood and chaos to me...
Disenchanted is a fresh and unique fantasy romance positioned in the real life historical context of the French Renaissance. A mysterious wood filled with a plethora of magical creatures termed 'Darklings' keep us on our toes and offers a fresh surprise each new chapter. Magical powers, sardonic humour, sadness, joy, narrow-minded judgments, wickedness, guilt and redemption are all narrated by Krys Janae with outstanding mastery of each character and their moods. The listener is swept up in the moment and into the light and shade of their experiences and adventures, and there is a satisfying number of delicious and unexpected twists and turns in Lilac and Garin's journey. The unresolved political tension between the two societies laid some interesting storyline possibilities to look forward to in subsequent books in the series.
Some small issues: In earlier sections of the book I got lost at times and I would have liked the timeframes more effectively signposted or better still, included in total in a prologue or prequel section rather than interchanging with the present only in the first 1/4. In addition I would have liked Lilac more convincingly presented as a likeable and consistently strong character with steady development in assertiveness and self-determination. There was a little too much 'naive spoilt brat' for my liking. I look forward to seeing her continued development as a queen, lover and woman in the coming sequel. The hints we get of that backbone behind the flaky exterior are exciting.

I have just finished listening to this book. The narrator was incredible she brought every character to life. The story was excellent you could imagine every scene. As i only listen to books now if you get a good story with fantastic narrator as far as I’m concerned 5 stars is not enough so here’s five more ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️it’s that good

Brilliant!!
Disenchanted is a wonderfully written fantasy with an intricate plot, imaginative worldbuilding, and unique and diverse characters. The storyline is well-developed, a bit slow-moving, but intriguing, enchanting, adventurous, unpredictable and wrapped in mystery. The author, Brianna Sugalski is creative and did a phenomenal job capturing her readers/listeners' attention, initiating anticipation in her audience. She is a talented storyteller, and I very much enjoyed listening to her book.
Krys Janae did an outstanding job with the narration. She captured the nuances of the various personalities while breathing life into the characters and story. Overall, Disenchanted is a fascinating tale, well-written and enjoyable, one I'll recommend.

Disenchanted
A lovely story line that is written well and narrated well, the story draws you in and allows you to visualise the characters and in a way fall in love with story line.
