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 …

Android Chronicles 1&2 – Lance Erlick
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 …
Changeling (Sorcery and society – 1) – Molly Harper
Despite some few menial flaws (probably corrected in the last update), "Changeling" was a very good read. I appreciated that the classical themes weren't a pretext to over broached some happy clichés. For instance, if there are two young boy, there isn't any love triangle! (Shocking I know, one of them is just a childhood …

Time’s Children – D B Jackson
What an excellent surprise! Time's Children was an excellent read, intelligent, original and thorough. The book is rather long, but doesn't show, the reading is always easy and satisfying, quite enjoyable. I really like reading fantasy stories but can be easily disappointed. I love personality and good writing, but can't stand thoroughly longish sadistic descriptions, …
The Confectioner’s Guild – Claire Luana
My first impressions were very good, I was enthusiastic and ready for a very good read. The ebook I received is lovely, with two beautiful maps and very soigné chapters' font. Alas I became quickly disillusioned... The good points were plentiful: a classic setting but an original and fascinating magic. This aspect I loved. The whole …
It ends with us – Colleen Hoover
It's not a bad read by no means, but I'm afraid I can't enjoy this kind of story anymore. I stopped at the half. A mix of good things, authenticity and good dialogues, but also clichés and stereotypes - I don't have the patience nowadays. (Ah. Sexe scenes bore me to death too ^-^) The best …
The ABC murders – Agatha Christie
This mystery was particularly interesting and arresting. I was happy to quickly have my own suspicions; but to be honest, I must have read this book a long tome ago, and if I didn't remember one think about it, it's probable that I was involuntary marked by the main idea at the time. The first …
Le goût amer de l’abîme – Neal Shusterman
Ce roman remarquable (et je pèse mes mots) vient de paraître aux éditions Nathan. Voici quelques arguments pour vous poussez à lire - pour les bonnes raisons. Tout d'abord si votre unique expérience de l'auteur se réduit (comme moi) à son succès français "La Faucheuse" parue chez CollectionR, ne vous attendez pas à retrouver le …
The guardian – Sarah Fine
(I thank Netgalley and 47North for sending me the ARC in exchange for my honest review) A very good sequel to "The serpent": if you have liked the first book of the series you'll probably like this one as much. I appreciated some nice inventivity for the middle part, with a strong atmosphere and an …
La mystérieuse affaire de Styles – Agatha Christie
Depuis quelques temps j'ai entrepris de relire petit à petit tous les livres de l'auteur en vo. Je me rappelle assez bien de certains, mais pas du tout ou très peu d'autres, comme celui-ci. Ce roman est le premier roman policier de l'auteur, la première fois où Poirot entre en scène ! C'est aussi un …
