J'ai été très heureuse de découvrir enfin ce premier livre de Clararichterauteur, roman qui m'a frappée par ses nombreuses qualités fondamentales (certaines petites choses m'ont gênée et comme je suis une pinailleuse maniaque je ne vais pas vous les épargner - mais elles sont venielles au regard du reste) Tout d'abord, le cadre. Soupir d'aise. …
(I thank Netgalley and Endeavour Media for sending me the ARC in exchange for my honest review) I grew quite enthralled by this unassuming story, which unfolded slowly and effortlessly. The writing is elegant and simple, for an evocative tale, rather old fashioned in a good kind of way. The characters are all endearing or atrocious, …
(I thank Netgalley and Macmillan-Tor/Forge for sending me the ARC in exchange for my honest review) This book was just a perfect read for me! I loved it so much that I've already pre-ordered the paper book (no hard cover version, a shame, but such a magnificent cover!) and will certainly reread it before reading …
(I thank Netgalley and the author for sending me the ARC in exchange for my honest review) I enjoyed this book very much. I love urban fantasy and this series Katie Bishop seems really promising. To be honest I was bewildered by one point or maybe two (see bellow) but as the book is, if …
(I thank Netgalley and Ineja Press for sending me the ARC in exchange for my honest review) A solid read with numerous good points, some just so-so world-building et some writing tic that nearly drove me crazy! The very strong aspect of this book is clearly the atmosphere and the pleasurable read: this book was …
Je suis une admiratrice de longue date de l'auteur, dont j'apprécie la clarté et l'équilibre des propos. J'ai lu et beaucoup aimé ses deux précédents livres, des témoignages mêlés d'informations pratiques sur le sujet principal : l'enfant surdoué ou (très pour le livre) haut potentiel pour "Les tribulations d'un petit zèbre" ou l'adulte Asperger (à …
(I thank Netgalley and Another World Press for sending me the ARC in exchange for my honest review) It wasn't a perfect read but still a very good one! The characters are rather classic and functional, except for Finn, who's particularly interesting and touching. It's quite unusual in YA /romance to find a character -especially …
I was very happy to read this book, which has many qualities of authenticity. Indeed the author has chosen a subject that matters a lot to her, as she's directly concerned. She explains, in the end of the book, that she had the same cancer as her heroine as a child, and have lost her …
I was very excited to read this book, but also a little apprehensive. In theory I love hard science-fi, because it seems so real, so true, so possible. But in practice, I'm easily lost: most hard science-fi books dwells on physics and, if I know that universe and space mean physics, and if I'm genuinely …
J'aime beaucoup cet auteur, la manière dont il met en scène, avec beaucoup de justesse et de sensibilité, des adolescents brillants et souvent tourmentés, montrant bien qu'une haute intelligence n'est pas la garantie d'une vie sans heurts, bien au contraire. Ce dernier roman est très particulier. Si l'on retrouve la patte de l'auteur, dans une …
