My interest in the story came and went for the first half, but once it truly began, I was craving the next twist. A story unlike any others I have read

This book is amazing. As long as you can get past the small amount of world building in the beginning, you'll love it. A lot of plot twists that I was not expecting happened. Jude is a very good main character.

2.75

un roman de fantasy YA comme on en a vu plein, avec des personnages peu intéressants et des plot twists pas très étonnants 

Jude avait tout pour être un personnage chouette mais non, elle se contredit dans ses actions et ses paroles, elle est à la fois cruelle et naïve au possible, et c'est tout sauf réaliste car mal fait
Cardan est le cliché du prince sombre et méchant

qui a en fait un passé douloureux et a un côté doux blablabla, c'est pas un des pires dans le genre que j'ai pu voir, mais on pourrait avoir mieux, puis son début d'histoire avec Jude???? non c'est un énorme non, c'est si malsain et gênant

les seuls personnages que j'ai vraiment apprécié sont Vivi (qui d'ailleurs est bi ! un peu chouette de ne pas voir que des couples heteros dans de la fantasy YA) et Oriana pour son évolution 

quant à l'écriture, vu ma pensée sur les personnages on devine que je ne l'ai pas particulièrement apprécié
c'est pas si mauvais en soi mais j'ai deviné très rapidement les plot twists, les personnages m'ont écoeurés, et il y avait des incohérences dans le récit

cependant, l'univers a du potentiel, il est intriguant, et la fin nous laisse avec beaucoup de questions alors je lirai la suite (en espérant la trouver meilleure !)
