« Never underestimate the power of thousands of human minds all believing the same thing. They can remake reality. Sometimes for the better, sometimes not. »

Uncle Rick, je t’aime.

Comme toujours, Uncle Rick sait aller crescendo dans son écriture et dans sa saga. Les personnages sont toujours excellemment développés, je suis époustouflée et je rêve d’être capable de réaliser ça un jour.

L’histoire est toujours aussi prenante, drôle - merci Apollo et Meg - et touchante. Apollo a une évolution incroyable, si perceptible d’un tome à l’autre.

Il m’a manqué un peu d’intensité et de rythme. Mais quel plaisir à lire. J’ai hâte de terminer la saga et constater la conclusion qui risque d’être émouvante. 

Reyna, my girl 💜

« Au moins, je ne suis jamais seule, l’angoisse est un peu comme ma jumelle maléfique que je dois repousser ! »

Ce roman graphique explore l’anxiété, la manière dont elle se développe, dont elle peut s’apaiser. C’est une lecture douce et même trop courte. J’aurais aimé qu’elle ne s’arrête jamais. Les couleurs pastel permettent de nous apaiser à notre tour. C’est calme, tout en étant impactant par la justesse des mécanismes de l’anxiété.
