Gros coup de cœur sur la couverture de cette édition de the borough press, j’ai dévoré le livre mais ça reste un 3 ou 3,5/5 en vrai. Je pensais qu’il y aurait plus de choses dans le récit autour des livres et de cet art du binding (en français ça parle « d’enlivreur » j’ai cru voir) qui permet d’effacer la mémoire d’une personne et l’enfermer dans un livre. En fait au cœur de ce livre c’est plutôt une histoire d’amour, une tragédie. Et même si ça arrive tard, une fois que c’est arrivé ça prend quasiment tout le livre et ne continue pas vraiment ce que le premier quart nous laissait penser que ce livre serait. J’aime bien ce genre de changement surprise mais comme je ne suis pas très romance j’étais un peu blasée. J’ai l’impression que je pourrai même spoiler en disant ça mais la plus grosse partie du roman parle de ça donc 🥲 
Quand même un bon roman qui a su me donner envie de continuer, bien écrit et prenant. Et qui prend cette idée d’extraction de mémoire et en montre les pires dérives possibles.

Le livre qui refusait de brûler by Mark Lawrence

slow-paced

3.0

A little 3/5 as this wasn’t bad and I even liked some elements a lot but this was never gripping, not a page turner at all and took too long to introduce some stuff. I even spent like 3 days on the last 100 pages and almost dnf’d even though I powered through the rest.

It’s not perfect but it’s not aiming to be, it’s the perfect cosy read to think of something else without too much stress or high stakes. Many things were maybe too easy or convenient, but I had a good time reading this and that’s what this book aspires to do. At first I was afraid the romance would be too present but it ended up not annoying me at all.
