This book was fantastic — even the slower parts had me hooked. The twists, the turns, the tears, the laughs, the spice! Some plot points were predictable but I loved it so much I didn’t care. I always thought book two would be my tried and true — but this one takes the cake. I loved reading about Nesta and seeing her growth and I loved seeing her and Cassian’s storyline unfold on the pages.

Nesta’s a badass and saves the day like we all knew she would!!!

ce n’est pas mon tome préféré, mais je dois dire objectivement que c’est le meilleur que SJM ai écrit jusqu’ici. malgré certains événements assez prévisibles c’était satisfaisant de plonger à travers ce livre (qui a été plutôt rapide à lire ??).

ps : si vous avez moins de 18 ans et/ou que les scènes de sexe explicite vous mettre mal à l’aise, ne lisez pas ce livre ;)
