Waiting for this one after I finished the last one was so hard, but this was a solid and fast read. I didn't want to put it down and do my normal life things.

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.

"This world already has enough monsters, enough people who want to take advantage of me or hunt me or take away my rights. I don't need to know there's a whole other world full of monsters. "

No puedo creer que ya termine la trilogía, la leí a la velocidad de la luz, y tengo que decir que me sorprendió mucho, usualmente en los libros de fantasía la trama principal es el romance, aquí la trama principal es la política del mundo que creo Holly y debo decir que ame cada momento. Esta super bien escrita y sin dejar de lado a ningún personaje, ninguno se siente como si estuviera de okis, todos tienen su crecimiento a lo largo de los tres libros, ya sea para peor o mejor, pero lo tienen. 

"But for one final night, he's the father I remember best, the one in whose shadow I have -for better or for worse- become what I am." 

Sigo manteniendo que Jude es una de las mejores protagonistas que he leído, es tan moralmente gris que a veces hace ver al villano como el bueno lol, no se deja de nadie y se la cree, se cree lo que es, sabe lo que ha tenido que sacrificar y hacer para llegar a donde esta y no le pide perdón a nadie. 

"By you, I am forever undone." 

Y por último, Cardan, cero opiniones negativas de cómo se desarrolló su relación y aun menos opiniones negativas de cardan como personaje, todo lo referente a este tema es para mi perfecto y no hablo mucho de esto por que me pondría a soltar spoilers. 

En resumen, excelente saga 1000/10

I know many people love these books, but I can not say the same. I did not mind the past two books, but before I read this one, I read Pride and Prejudice. The writing style of this book is nothing compared to Pride and Prejudice. The way it is written is suitable for those who don’t read often or younger kids. Plus, personally I’m not the biggest fan of fantasy, it is not believable. I didn’t grow a connection with the characters and I’ve never read a story on whatpadd, but this felt like a whatpadd story. It was not boring though which is why I gave it three stars.

So satisfying! Fast paced and quick to resolve things that made me uncertain about the love story and other characters in the first two books. Faerie is still creepy and weird but also full of adventure and action and love (including really great family dynamics). Still love how badass Jude is but this time it paid off even more (over and over again) and I loved all the other characters in a way I didn’t as much in the past books.
