Je l'ai dévoré littéralement, même trop rapidement. Cette duologie était assez addictive, le suspens sur la véritable héritière a tenu jusqu'au bout pour moi, et même si leur quête était frustrante,(évidemment que c'était pas Royal !) elle a quand même bien réussi a avoir un bon plot twist.
On suit de nouveau les filles, qui doutent de leur sororité -ce qui m'a rendue folle !-qui traversent
manigances, stéréotypes et qui résistent même aux à priori des gens les plus proches d'eux. J'ai oublié de dire sur le premier livre que ce qui fut cool aussi fut la mixité, plus particulièrement même, tous
les persos sont Noirs ou basanés. On a aussi un couple lesbien. Bon mais ce que j'ai aimé c'est la morale : peu importe ce que les gens te conseillent, écoute toi, fais toi confiance, et change les règles du jeu.

It was very underwhelming and had a lot of flaws. I'm very disappointed in this sequel.

Fine, not as good as the first one though. Kind of saw the ending coming because there where not that many characters.
