I liked the Citadel des Neiges, only two things I regret it: The first: the book is too short !!! A few hundred pages that read in no time, The second is the lack of detail and depth. Having read many books Matthieu Ricard, I expected more descriptions, a story that would have moved me more. In this book I think the author could deepen, the story is so nice that she deserved to dwell more fully there. However, I recommend it to anyone wanting a first approach of Buddhism and its philosphy. The book reads in one evening.
