Great read

The synopsis piqued my interest and the choreography of the story kept me enthralled from beginning to the end. I'm eagerly anticipating the next installment. Bardugo has moved to the top on my to-read list to say the least.

Sped through the end because I couldn’t wait to find out what was going on & I’ve already grabbed Hell Bent so I can dive right in! Wasn’t a perfect book & please look up the content/trigger warnings before reading because some scenes really were quite intense, even for me, but I enjoyed it nonetheless & can’t wait to enjoy Darlingstern in the next one. :)

Très bonne surprise! Comme c’est de la fantasy adulte, j’avoue que c’était assez complexe et il y avait ce petit quelque chose qui faisait que ça partait un peu dans tous les sens mais ça reste une très bonne lecture. J’ai adoré le personnage principal, qui est une femme de caractère avec beaucoup de répartie, mais j’avoue que quelque fois j’aurais bien aimé qu’elle soit un peu plus compréhensive, même si ce n’est pas étonnant vu son passif. Le principe des maisons étaient un peu complexe, ça partait un peu trop loin du réaliste selon moi (avis personnel) mais bon. Très bonne découverte en tout cas, j’ai hâte de lire la suite.
