I saw a positive review on the brand new French translation in a French magazine, and then realized this series had actually been written in English despite the French-looking name of the author. Great, this way I can read the whole series right away !

I liked the book a lot. I see that many consider it a YA book. If this is supposed to define the main characters, than this is correct. But if it' supposed to define the audience, then I am not so sure : obviously YA can read it, but there is no problem reading it for "not-so-young-adults".

So, again, I liked the book.
The writing is good, the way you get to know more and more with little snippets here and there making the plot denser, the way the characters are slowly developed into full personalities with nice and not so nice sides.
I though the first few chapters were maybe a tad repetitive (lots of hide and chase), but not to the point of wanting to put the book down.
I will definitely be reading #2 soon.
