Posso dire? FINALMENTE un libro veramente BELLO di questa saga. Bella l’ambientazione, belle le vicende di questo terzo capitolo, belli questi nuovi personaggi conosciuti su Babel e il finale che lascia una vera suspense! Mi ha lasciato davvero la curiosità di leggere l’ultimo libro

It seems like such a wild swing from the last book to this one, but it has been two years and seven months since Ophelia has last seen or heard anything about Thorn. The depression described at the Tickers festival in the beginning I have absolutely felt. All consuming and never ending.
Another well written book, with just enough oddly phrased things that you can tell it's a translation.
I do have a few ... Characters that make me feel weird, though.
Zen, for one, is constantly described as"oriental" and that rubs me the wrong way. I know there's a ton of discourse out there as to how this word should or should not be used, and I feel like they could have chosen literally any other word for this character.
The other is Fearless's kid. He'sa dark skinned kid in a loincloth. This is the only character described this way. I don't like it.
The ending is alsothe slowest of slow burns. Because what do you MEAN Thorn and Ophelia finally figure their shit out and Thorn even says "good, then we won't be disturbed?" and they're all alone in the bedroom??? I am so afraid that the next book is going to rip my heart out and I can't take it.
Again, a very highly rated book, I just wish some of the character descriptions had been run past someone else. They didn't feel like they were describing characters in a book written in 2017. It felt like it was from last century, and not in a good way.

Quel bonheur de retrouver ce fabuleux monde de Christelle Dabos, d’autant plus que cette saga propose une merveilleuse montée en puissance au fil des tomes.
J’ai donc évidemment adoré ce tome, mon préféré à ce stade. Le world building se densifie au gré des arches, de leurs rouages, de leurs pouvoirs familiaux, de leurs protagonistes. Ici, l’intrigue prend encore plus d’envergure et de maturité. J’ai également que ce tome était beaucoup plus rude ce qui, d’ailleurs, rend la plume de l’autrice encore plus forte, car elle parvient à décrire des actes très durs de manière très subtile et poétique ce qui, à mon sens, les rend encore plus difficiles puisqu’elle laisse notre imagination faire le travail.
La famille d’Ophélie et les personnages auxquels on s’est attaché dans les deux premiers tomes m’ont un peu manqué dans ce troisième opus, même si cela convient à l’histoire et à l’intrigue.
Enfin, le personnage de Victoire est extrêmement intéressant et je redoute autant que j’ai hâte de la retrouver dans le tome 4.
Musim rict ze tento dil me trochu zklamal. Cekal jsem to mnohem zazivnejsi a zajimavejsi, treba ze se prozkouma vice arch… Dej ale jako vsechny ostatni dily oplyval napadidosti, vychytralosti a vsudypritomnou silenosti (v dobrym slova smyslu). Celkove slabsi nez predchozi dily, porad ale uzasny a Projit zrcadlem drzi prvni pricku na zebricku mych nejoblibenejsich kniznich serii. Skoda, ze to nema takovou pozornost, jak si zaslouzi.
