Une si bonne idée mais une exécution si mauvaise.  Le rythme est catastrophique, les « gros mots » qui n’en sont pas c’est cringe, on ne sait pas à quel public s’adresse le livre. Tout va trop vite, on a pas le temps de s’attacher aux personnages, le world building est pas mauvais, mais mériterai d’être développé. Il y a des révélations, certaines sont trop grosses, les autres laissent de marbre. 
C’est du YA/Ado mais on dirait un film Disney Channel. Au moins y a une (pas si bonne hélas) romance saphique

Bahahaha. Plus les choses avancent et plus elles se compliquent. Les personnages se retrouvent impliqués dans des complots plus gros qu’eux, la confrérie gagne de terrain et la ligne devient de plus en plus floue. Et cette fin avec Coco? WoW

Et un livre du 12 months 12 books challenge en plus. Et surtout l’édition française et magnifique. Alors je me disais que le résumé spoilai pas mal, mais j’étais loin de m’attendre à ce qui m’attendais. J’ai beaucoup beaucoup aimé, l’histoire ce lit extrêmement bien, la plume et fluide, on a des surprises et en plus le personnage principal évolue. Bref c’était top. Encore un bon livre. Hâte d’avoir la suite

Apollo I love you. Also, yes the ending made me cry. If it was the last book, it would have been a great ending for all the characters. But there’s so much to do (especially with the thing going on with the multiple pantheon)

informative inspiring lighthearted fast-paced
Thank you NetGalley and Rebel Girls for allowing me to read this book as an e-arc. 

At first I was suprised to see that non-binary people were included in this book (I am non-binary) because, most of us don’t identify as women (even if some do), but the author wanted to get out of the non-binary spectrum, and honestly I find it great. So don’t stop at the title. 

There were a lot of person to discover, scientist, stars, activists… from all around the world. Maybe seeing more labels would have been great. But a great book, I discovered people that we don’t really see in other books. 

Perfect for kids, and grownups too
