I received a copy of this book from the publisher (via Netgalley) in exchange for an honest review.

Wow! That's the kind of story I can't put down! I absolutely loved everything : the academy, the characters, the writing and especially what I enjoy so much in books : the way emotions are described. I never felt so many emotions while I was reading but I honestly almost threw my Kindle a dozen times because of the way the characters made me feel (so much frustration!)... and I loved it! It's so precious to live IN the story and not just around it in your everyday life. Blake, you're the best of the worst... or the worst of the best, who knows?! Now I'll feel empty until book 3 is published because I need to know what's going to happen to everyone!

J'ai reçu cet ebook via @netgalleyfrance en échange d'un avis sincère. Merci pour la découverte!

Quelle histoire! Je n'étais pas prête à vivre autant d'émotions avec un livre mais quelle réussite! Rebecca Yarros prouve une fois de plus à quel point elle maîtrise aussi bien la narration que les émotions de ses lecteurs. Une magnifique découverte que je ne me gênerai pas de recommander à mon entourage (public adulte par contre ;-)

You liked Fourth Wing? Then there's a good chance you'll LOVE this story (it's definitely on my top 5 thus year!!). I absolutely couldn't put this book down as I fell in love with it quite at the beginning (earlier than most of the books I read). The characters are full of fire and battle-spirit... and it feels so right! I wanted to be there as much as I was hating Bloodwing Academy... but that end!!!! I definitely want to read the second book as soon as possible as I NEED to know what will happen to Blake and Medra!

How can a book about totally creepy serial killers be so cute and funny? I still can't understand that little magic trick but I definitely enjoyed the journey! What a crazy story and as crazy characters! How many times did I "awwwww"ed to some cute things Rowan said? I couldn't count... but too many considering his little "hobby" and the "gory" details about it...

A good mix between Outlander and... I don't know... maybe the Belladonna serie (for the mysteries). I definitely didn't uncover the truth until the last part of the book so the mystery is well hidden... and perfectly constructed! I enjoyed the story but I give it a 4 stars review as there were too much descriptions to my taste... but it definitely doesn't mean it wasn't well written! It's really just less to my taste 😉

What an original story... devils... magic... curses... challenges... and love! And all that perfectly balanced! I really enjoyed Ophelia's journey and, once again, I may have a little crush for the morally grey male character 🫣 But shhhhh... don't tell anyone!

Oak is such a touching character! I would read hundreds of his stories (especially when he is with Wren). I enjoyed once more to jump back to Elfhame and I still think it's one of the cutest universe I've read about so far!

I definitely love Elfhame and its incredible inhabitants. It's a pleasure to see Oak as a more mature character and I enjoyed his journey with Wren... all those secrets... hidden emotions... impossible quests! The story is a savant mix of sweet and sour... love and hate... hope and past wounds! Now on to the Prisoner's Throne!

This one is a big YES for me! It's all I love... and it definitely stole all my tears for a few pages... I'm still wondering how I can love so much a book that tore my heart into millions of pieces... honestly! The story is beautiful but what made me feel like this is just the way I needed this... how it resonated so much in me (I'm still wondering why). Now... I "just" have to wait for the second book to be published... still crying on this heartbreaking story...

I really liked the story and how it continues so well the first book but the writing was less to my taste this time... too much description and too slow-paced... but overall I'm glad I discovered this universe!
