My detailed opinion:
It is through this novel I discovered FINALLY! Will you tell me the magic pen Manon Fargetton.
Why magic? Because it took me a few pages to be involved to the bone in this story, feel at one with Enora and follow it feverishly in his adventures.
And all that I owe the month of ... Manon Fargetton Blog Book-in-stock. I timeliness gradually and already at the beginning I had regretted not try my luck in another novel (Manon Fargetton, of course) with "Next on the list."
I regret most, or less in any case, now that I have this wonderful hands. With beautiful cover, the discovery dune gentle and delicate attention with his dedication to my name on my full of emotions.
This coverage alone, called fantasy, indomitable nature, secrets and adventure.
The prologue is a few pages appetizer worthy of a great restaurant. Yes I am a greedy so focused on food do not be surprised of some sweet connotations to describe my feelings.
It depicts in a few words, less than 10 pages, a warrior and beautiful work, a world full of dragons and wyverns, intrepid, fearless and proud characters that leave us already dreaming mind to other adventures.
When the novel begins, in a more contemporary and realistic context, we then follow the departure of motorcycle Enora for his beloved province in order to celebrate his birthday with family, written by Manon Fargetton we still stands.
The emotions of our heroine will be passed on to us through words, descriptions and this atmosphere that instills lauteure around Enora.
We meet his family, feel the joy of reunion yet dune colored aura of mystery and anxiety and as Enora and his twin we question.
It is a brutal event, irreparable will happen and change that this meeting between friends this festive weekend.
Life for Enora and his family will never be the same. And what she discovers will lead us, because again we follow it feverishly, in an unprecedented adventure.
I will say no more but to savor even the start on a flying, I would advise you not to read the back cover. You will cover the events and with the same mindset and qu'Enora it will only allow you a better impregnation in history. But this is just a reader board, you are free to do what you want.
Enora is a dynamic young woman, a little daredevil, yet thoughtful. The tragic events that will bring him to learn about his family and its origins would have crushed more than one. But she'll get up, keep your head above water despite his grief and anger. She immediately liked. This is a modern young woman, good about yourself, what these acting classes developed by giving it a particular ease to hide his emotions and his eventual discomfort. It will also show us that everyone is not made of a single material and that behind this force there is also a great despair and an intense need for revenge. The question will be to see the sil deliver or destroy.
The Charly and Julian brothers are like day and night. Both the solar is both her blond hair like wheat by his side always smiling and full of enthusiasm as the second is taciturn and lapidary. However soon the reader will appreciate. They have their strengths and weaknesses. Julian is the one that is closest to Enora in character. He is protective of his little brother, just as tortured as children to flee the Order and suspicious of everything. He also has to fill crevices and harmful addiction makes us want to Laimer and shake it.
Charly Shadow is like a child at a fairground. He seems to have expected to be there all his life. His joy and playfulness are contagious and we make it endearing on.
Then Elouane / Ravenn. Rousse, full of fire and flame as her hair fire attests, this character is prominent on. This young woman fearless will play a role in this story. And I confess that from the very first moment we met, I liked it. See then my vow to find her is fulfilled was a joy to read more in this already heavily close to the heart stroke after only a few chapters.
Other characters who are not really but which play an important role: Shadow and Rive, the two Kingdoms (theirs and ours).
On one side, Riverbank, our world as we know it with its modernism, its young people careless, his injuries and his lack of magic. You will discover why dailleurs.
In the other, Shadow, a world apart, a reflection or image of ourselves in a context involving some good fantasy bases.
This kingdom is however surprising as ruled by women in a matriarchal order since the betrayal of the last Kings-Passeurs.
The city of Astria, capital of the kingdom, is described so that the reader has eyes that shine. Written by Manon Fargetton is again beautifully expressive to take us with her. All the details of the city, the inhabitants and the mood there as we are exposed in front of such a fantastic film trailer.
We then follow the flow of the adventures of our three heroes in this new life, like a boat sailing with the wind. A little tossed, without lead and yet with a thirst for adventure as shares, plots and rivalries that we discover only strengthen.
The actions that will unfold before us will lead us into conspiracies, betrayals, assassinations but also strong and pure feelings such faithfulness, justice, love and loyalty to an oath.
The relationship between the Kingdom of Shadow and our own world, this power that allows couriers to penetrate from one to the other, magic, all these parts of a whole lead us in fantasy as in a film drop down before our eyes.
I have not read this book, I devoured but mostly I experienced. I experienced moments of sadness, joy or anger.
Injustice I repeatedly shouted your name, you who, under the pen of Manon Fargetton so successfully make me restless and disgusted, attentive and impatient.
After I wanted to believe, what you say?
At all.
In this world under our feet and yet we face as a reflection.
At these characters who carried me with them as a stowaway.
In the hope that the magic-filled tales always end well for those we love.
In fact I had misread perhaps hoping and dreading a sequel that does not exist.
Yes I admit selfishly, I wanted another purpose, more in line with my wishes. But what is beautiful though! this end it with his duality that can only continue to move us as did the rest of the book.
I was so caught up in this film unfolding before my very eyes I did not want to see this end looming on the horizon. I have felt better than frustration or anger of some characters and other distress. All along Manon Fargetton knew me keep my blinders on what I expected as an end.
So what a shock, what a betrayal of my brain not letting me know of this deception before receiving it in the face!
At the same time what a feeling that this unexpected discovery.
As you will see, many things will be explained as and when reading. And all this information will immerse you even more in the desire to be part of this adventure, despite the risks, despite the pain to be expected, just to be there with them.
Enora, Ravenna, Jana, Julian, Enoch, Charly, or Axel Hank will carry with them and surprise you. The consequences of this adventure will also throw you off. For where everything seemed already mapped, the author instilled minute details sometimes but that will change everything.
Shadow and Shore are linked as much as you will be at this time to book your reading and even after the last page returned.
This novel is a heart stroke unquestionably no.
He will join the shelf of these rare but intense moments of significant readings, touching or pure freedom.
The end yet leaves me a taste of too little.
Many questions remain in my head after the last page not miss tour by the author but by desire to see this dream continue creating it myself additional episodes by my questions, my need to find them again and the follow again.
I do not know the pen of Manon Fargetton other styles in his novels but it can already be concluded that for the fantasy she has a fan more.
