Un autre gros coup de coeur de l'année 2018, une lecture découverte grâce à @edlromans ! Confiante en leurs choix de traduction, j'ai été le voir en vo, je l'ai lu et adoré ! Alors ensuite évidemment je l'ai racheté en français #duovovfhélènelouise oblige... 😊 Ce roman est l'exemple type du roman Young Adult dont …
Mon avis sur ce roman est très ambivalent. J'ai beaucoup aimé certaines choses, moins d'autres et pas du tout certaines. 5 étoiles pour le traitement du thème principal et la partie narrative de l'écriture, moitié moi pour l'histoire et les personnages (pour des raisons personnelles), 1 étoile pour un point grave qui ne semble curieusement …
Voilà bien un livre qui ne m'aurait pas naturellement tentée en VF, entre le titre, la couverture (assez bateau je trouve) et la tranche âge indiquée 9 -11 ans. C'est un livre qui peut être lu très jeune, mais accompagné - c'est très triste et susceptible d'être l'objet de maints questionnements douloureux. C'est surtout un …
"The Ingenious" was a very good surprise ! I was a little anxious about this read because, if the book's presentation appealed to me, I was afraid it'd be very dark, as fantasy tends to be, with graphic violence à gogo. But fortunately my fears were unfounded: if the town of Athanor where lives …
A very sweet and malicious story with an adorable pacific little vampire girl and her very very cute pet-pumpkin! The inversion of point of view (daytime is so scary with its abominable monsters as kittens and unicorns!) The story deals prettily about friendship and first impressions, and rather deeply about neglecting parents, without being depressing. …

This book was a lovely surprise! I was somewhat worried in the beginning, as classical fantasy tends to bore me rather easily these days... But "City of broken magic" has some real personality and some excellent characters, and consequently my reading was great! To begin with the minor flaws. They're all of the same trend, …
I was very curious about this book and haven't been disappointed. The dystopian context is interesting and very well outlined by the story: absolutely no infodump, the immersion is immediate and the comprehension gradual. As a result the first 20% were easy to read but I had the feeling of a nightmare. Then gradually the …
What a delicious read! So perfect for me! Just the false-light read I'm looking for, but usually can't find anymore these days, as romances tend to be heavy on the romance and explicit sexe to the detriment of the story, and even to characters' development, with stereotypical protagonists. "Lord of Stariel" is just the kind of …
I was very pleased to have the opportunity to read this anthology, as I frequently feeling lazy towards short stories: most of the time I have to make an effort to begin a new story and, for a very short one, I may be frustrated by its shortness if I liked it or disgruntled to …
I've read these two first books of the series in a row ("Reborn" is the first and "Unborn" the second) and it was a very satisfying read. The first thing to know before choosing to read the series, is that the story, if very interesting, is never riveting, nor sensational or emotional. It's not a …
