[approximative translation of my 2015 May 1st french review]
« Féelure » (the title is a pun between the french words for « fairy » (fée) and « fêlure » (crack) which have a close pronunciation) has something only a few books can be proud of : magic. It doesn't takes more than a few pages to be swept away in its universe, though far from whimsical : murders, fairy brothel, and Gwen's gloominess in her daylight life.
It works especially thanks to the author's pen, simple, straight to the point but full of puns. There's also the contrast between the heroine's fairy life at night and human within the day. Soon, she'll have to make a definitive choice, and the weight of this decision never leaves her. The readers are sink into a bittersweet atmosphere, somewhere between amazement and desillusion. Dream and reality. Adventure or quiet life. Magic or normality...
This is the true story of « Féelure », a very-well paced one, despite far too short : you'll end the book in less than two hours, and will regret to leave this little bit of pure delight who easily takes you away from your daily boring life, like Gwen's fairy life.
And it's maybe the only flaw of the book. Because the paperback, published by Bragelonne who usually makes very beautiful books for reasonable prices, costs no less than 14€ ! For sure, that's expensive for a few dozens minutes of reading... That's why, for once, I read this one digitally, despite with regrets.
Nevertheless, « Féelure » is a quick, refreshing read, full of magic, humor, darkness too ; a true little gem to discover without hesitation.
