Un beau livre, pas trop long, une histoire assez facile à suivre qui a assez d’intrigue pour garder un ado en haleine, en fait les jeunes et les moins jeunes. Ça se lit super bien, donc un livre qui pourrait être une belle transition pour des lectures de l’ado à jeune adulte qui aime bien le style Harry Potter. Je recommande.
