DNF at 30 % In the Fantasy novel “The Enchanted Lies of Céleste Artois” by Ryan Graudin we follow the con artist Céleste who is introduced to a hidden magical world in 1900s Paris by a mysterious stranger named Rafe. With a heavy heart I had to DNF this book. On paper the setting and characters should have worked perfectly but the pacing was too slow for me and the characters and their stories didn't catch my interest.I was really interested in the magical setting of this book but since it is more character focused I had a hard time getting into the story. I listened to this as an audiobook and the narration by Marisa Calin is great. Their voice was very fitting for the characters. A big thanks to NetGalley and the publisher Hachette Audio for giving me the opportunity to read an advance copy in exchange for an honest review.
