The Queen of Nothing by Holly Black
fast-paced

I really enjoyed this series! Always medium to fast paced. Each book had nice plot twists. They were all easy to read and very enjoyable. A good ending too
Une femme extraordinaire by Catherine Éthier

Je pense que ce livre n'est juste pas pour moi. Je n'ai pas aimé le style d'écriture de l'auteure. Des phrases trop longues et imagées, à plus finir. J'ai trouvé ça très mélangeant et je suis sûre que j'ai manqué beaucoup de choses.
The Wicked King by Holly Black
4.0
Felt a bit slow in some parts but REAAAAAALLY caught up by the end. Was not expecting that turn of event at all and I couldn't be gladder. Can't wait to finish this series!
All These Bodies by Kendare Blake
1.0
Not a good thriller, nor a mystery. I don't know where I'd put this book, but definitely not in my recommendations list. It's messy and not well thought out in my opinion. There are vampire talks and some random things that make no sense. No plot twist whatsoever. I honestly don't know what the f.. I just read. The one star is only because the chapters were quite short and I always like that.

I enjoyed reading it. It's my first time reading a fantasy with Fairies and it was nice! I honestly didn't follow EVERYTHING. I still don't think I really know who is linked to who and what court is what etc... But I guess I just need to get used to it. I can tell the next books are gonna be even better! Overall, I enjoyed it and I'm excited to keep reading the trilogy!

Very interesting read! I enjoyed reading it. Compared to other fantasy books I've tried to read, this one felt different. More like a mystery novel. Not a lot of elaborated description. It was easy to follow. Felt like watching a movie. It took me longer to read it, maybe because the chapters were kind of long, and it was medium-paced. It's quite beautiful, just like the cover. Quite different from what I'm used to read!

3.0
Not for me. Slow paced and not mysterious or tensed in any way. It's more a story about sisters, we just love with them on a daily basis after one of them killed her boyfriend. There aren't any plot twists. It's not a bad book! Just not a thriller or mystery

This book was easy and quite quick to read. The plot itself was nothing too special. It was interesting but not much more. Not too bad either though.
