This series was an absolute joy to read. I never thought I would love fantasy politics as much as I have through these books. I do wish there was a tad more substance to Jude and Carden's romance, but overall the entire series was interesting and didn't leave me once wanting to put it down.

bon..
d'un côté, il y a des passages qui étaient vraiment chouettes et le développement des personnages a continué à être intéressant, bien que pas toujours très réaliste.
de l'autre, c'était BEAUCOUP TROP rapide, les scènes s'enchaînent et les choses se dénouent de manière assez peu réaliste.

finalement, le moment le plus long est le moment de la malédiction, alors qu'il aurait pu être bien plus court pour laisser la place aux scènes d'action, par exemple.

j'ai un peu l'impression d'avoir perdu mon temps avec cette trilogie, j'ai lu pire certes mais j'ai lu mieux aussi en terme de fantastique YA.


bref, bien que des passages m'aient plu et que l'univers m'ait un peu captivé, je ne recommande pas. ça ne vaut clairement pas la hype qu'on en fait.
