![]() Transformed from a timid maid to a fierce leader in Grim Lovelies (BCCB 10/18), Anouk has her new confidence sorely tested here as she fails to pass the witch trials, and her character believably oscillates between wishful thinking and utter desperation while she figures out a way to move forward. Her plan backfires completely, however, leaving her stripped of her magic and facing a foe far deadlier than a simple coven. As a beastie, an animal turned into a human, Anouk has endless but unwieldy magic so she makes a deal with Rennar: release her friends and grant her safe passage to the Cottage, where she’ll learn to control her powers and become a witch herself, and she’ll save London with him. ![]() ![]() Apparently, a coven of witches has taken over London, likely killing the ruling Haute (the most powerful magical beings) and wreaking total chaos in the city-toads raining from the sky, black, toxic rainbows, and dangerous timeslips, to name just a few of the issues at hand. ![]() Six weeks after Prince Rennar captured and imprisoned Anouk’s best friends during the siege of Montélimar, he has the nerve to show up at her doorstep in Paris, begging for help. ![]()
