Comme précédemment, la première lecture laisse un goût totalement différent des relectures. Je l’ai trouvé gnangnan tout d’abord par rapport à GtN et finalement, c’est mon préféré. Nona aime tout le monde 🩷

Oh my god she's done it again. Come for the delightful discordant slice-of-life YA adventure set against a brutal apocalyptic sci-fi dystopia backdrop, stay for a well-plotted mystery whose late-game reveals hit like a ton of bricks and also somehow make perfect sense, like you knew it the whole time. Made me laugh, made me cry, made me mad that the final book isn't published yet. This series is something special.

Really really enjoyed this! Again, the form and content match each other very well which made this book a lot more readable than Harrow. I loved getting Nona's perspective and the way her cheerful outlook kind of tricked you into thinking things were fine every once in a while, until you read between the lines and you realise that of course it's not. The stakes did seem a lot lower than the other books up until the very end, and I'm really excited for Alecto.
