Après avoir lu les autres tomes il y a quelques temps déjà, j'ai beaucoup aimé me replonger dans l'univers du Prince Cruel qui m'avait manqué !
Tout au long de ce tome, on fait face au point de vue de Cardan. Malgré qu'il reste un harceleur, ce livre nous permet d'en apprendre davantage sur son passé et de comprendre certaines réactions qu'il a pu avoir auparavant. On voit aussi son évolution tout au long de l'histoire.
Loin d'être mon personnage favori, mais ce livre est finalement agréable à lire et nous permet de combler certaines incompréhensions.
Ce livre est, selon moi, nécessaire si on a apprécié lire la trilogie.

Weirdly I liked this better than all of the other books in the series (maybe because it’s a novella so I have lower expectations for the plot??) but I actually enjoyed this. It tied into the trilogy nicely.
