I basically only liked that we got to see a different ark. It felt utterly disappointing that our heroine was supposedly such a go getter and fighter through everything she survived in the pole and then in this book, two years passed and she was just reading?

Reviews of the 4th book were pretty abysmal. Even the people that "liked" it had several complaints and felt either disappointed or confused. There's too many side quests, too much making Ophelia lose her agency, too much entrapment and bullying to the point it felt like the author's f***sh. Not shaming, just not at all for me. I kept hoping something would pull me back because I loved the first 2 books, like more time with the characters from before at least? but apparently it only gets worse, the author kills off characters and adds too many twists and turns and overly convoluted explanations etc. Since book 4 is an open ending, might as well stop at book 2 and create your own ideas of what could happen.

This one went by really quickly. Cristelle dabos is a genius who can create very unique and complicated world, politics and relationships.

Franchement ça me soule... cette saga n'est vraiment pas pour moi
Ce tome m'a mis dans une panne de lecture d'un mois voire même +
Tout le monde aime Thorn mais moi franchement il me repousse, c'est pas que je l'aime pas mais je sais pas... j'ai vraiment du mal avec lui

j'ai trouvé ça beaucoup trop prévisible que sir henry soit en fait Thorn mais la fin m'a quand même surpris, je ne m'attendais pas du tout à ce que Eulalie et Ophélie soient en fait liées

Je trouve que c'est beaucoup trop long et que les choses pourraient se dérouler plus rapidement pour que ce soit plus intéressant

Next please!!!

A couple of the twists and turns have gotten a little confusing to me but I’m still hooked and just powering through to see what happens in the last book. I <3 that

Ophelia and Thorn have ended up reconciled, that was stressful!!
