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.

Other than absurd lack of communication leading to totally preventable misunderstandings, this book was PHENOMENAL.
