It's not easy to chose a reading while the book isn't published yet, and for this one I chose badly. I actually read quite a few reviews before requesting for the book, enthusiastic ones, and believed that I was about to dive into a touching and fascinating story as "The name of the wind" by …

The King of Faerie – A.J. Lancaster
I discovered this series a few years ago, via Netgalley, and it was a huge « coup de cœur » as we say in French (I never found any translation in English; a read that one have loved and which intimately touched their heart 3>). I thank the author for her trust, as she has since send …
Wendy, Darling – A.C. Wise
Oddly, the reason why I request this read wasn't that I loved Peter Pan's story, but exactly the opposite. As a child, while Walt Disney's films were rare treats, I always disliked Peter Pan's adaptation. Reading the presentation of "Wendy, darling", I suspected that the author would have chosen to develop a very ambivalent story, …
The Peculiarities – David Liss
The Pecularities was a very good read, I particularly appreciated how the historical atmosphere was done, with a lot of actual references, real characters and facts mixed with magic.The apparition of alternative humans, the reality of the consequences of breaking oaths, all the bizarreries of a world slowly but ineluctably changing made for a very …
Le Royaume sans ciel – Charlotte Ambrun
J'ai lu il y a quelque temps ce roman et je l'ai beaucoup aimé ! Si vous aimez les réécritures de contes je vous le conseille chaudement, c'est joliment écrit, très imaginatif et plein de personnalité. J'ai particulièrement apprécié l'ambiance très forte, celle d'un conte à l'ancienne, un peu pesante et angoissante, associée à une …
Un jour je te mangerai – Géraldine Barbe
Il m’est impossible de noter ce livre, et j’ai ainsi choisi de ne pas le faire.Il m’est également impossible d’en parler sans rien dévoiler de l’histoire, ce n’est pas vraiment divulgâcher, mais dans le doute ne lisez pas plus loin ! J’ai apprécié ma lecture, j’ai d’ailleurs lu ce livre en une journée, presque d’une …
Constellations of Scars – Melissa Eskue Ousley
I have mixed feelings about this read and feel a little bit uncomfortable reviewing it. On the good side it was an easy read, quite a page-turner - and I easily get bored with books I don't really really like.I loved the beginning, the way the author expose the heroine, living with her malediction, a …

The Witness for the Dead – Katherine Addison
I was very enthusiastic about this sequel, which I decided to buy and read a long time ago. I was thrilled to receive this read by Netgalley! Thrilled and a little scared: when one loves so much a read as I loved the first book in the series, "The Goblin Emperor", one is also worried …

A Desolation Called Peace – Arkady Martine
Readers who have loved the first book will probably love this one as much. But for readers like me, who had like it a lot but not really loved it... I wonder. In a way the story was satisfying, as we get to follow the same characters as in the first book. But it would …
