Overall I enjoyed this book but it could’ve given me so much more. Things only felt exciting in the last 100 pages and left off mid plot line. It felt like i just read a big book to only get a tiny bite of this story.

All the characters seemed a little dull except for Archibald.

I was also DYING for even an ounce of romance this entire book and got nothing. Which is odd for a book that’s mainly revolving around an arranged marriage.

Just meh.

This charming little book with its whimsical world and quirky characters had me completely enchanted. This book is stunning and perfect and I was thinking about it even when I wasn’t reading

Très bonne lecture, et très jolie plume. J’ai aimé découvrir ce monde complètement fou à travers les yeux d’Ophélie. Les personnages sont bien travaillés et attachants. L’univers est vraiment unique.
J’étais captivé par les péripéties de l’héroïne et j’ai eu du mal à lâcher ce roman.

Petit défaut selon moi : j’ai eu l’impression d’être dans une caricature du fantastique, au point d’avoir un peu de mal à prendre l’histoire au sérieux, mais rien de bien méchant. A la fin du tome 1, ça me donne envie de passer sur une lecture fantasy plus adulte que de lire le tome 2. (Surtout qu’il n’a pas vraiment eu de cliffhanger à la fin)

Je donne une note de 4, car c’est objectivement un très bon livre.
