3.0

j'ai préféré ce second tome au premier, même si le début a été un peu long.
les intrigues et les retournements de situation sont mieux fait, tout n'était pas aussi facilement devinable que dans le premier tome.

les personnages sont également plusse intéressants,

même si je suis toujours très peu emballé.e par l'histoire entre Jude et Cardan

surtout l évolution de Cardan. Jude est également un peu plusse cohérente dans ses actions, plusse réaliste.

et la fin est très bien ficelée, elle donne envie de savoir le dénouement de tout ça.
