j'ai adoré, les thèmes de traduction, de colonisation, de rébellion ça marche bien sur moi. Le système de magie/pouvoir est trop cool.

Dans mes souvenirs ça a été un peu long pour rentrer dans l'histoire mais après tout s'enchaîne hyper vite et c'est hyper prenant.

A little slow to start, but utterly engrossing the entire time. Lost me a little with the pacing towards the end; somehow, I felt it needed more pages! But captivating all the same.

Overall, I thought the premise of this book was very creative and the political/social issues that were tackled are highly relevant today. However, I found the character development to be a bit weak for some core individuals and some parts of the plot didn't sit right with me.
