The survivors of the walls have no news from the outside, while inside is filtered by the government. The locked had to learn to survive over the years, trying somehow to remain hopeful about the creation of a vaccine for they are no longer a threat to the outside.

The award will necessarily be cruel, and Maia was less than a month to find the way out of quarantine with his mentor. In his quest, the young woman will have no choice but to take big risks and to ally with people who might endanger.

Gabrielle Massat dystopian novel offers us a somewhat original and largely. The universe is worked well, and everything is served with a descriptive quality pen. One feels that the author masters his universe, and therefore one has no difficulty imagining alongside the protagonists. The plot is interesting and captivating, even if I had an idea of ​​the end of the novel fast enough in my reading.

I quickly attached to Maia and I enjoyed the track. She quite special relationship with his mentor Dimitri and they are united by their common ideals. The meeting with Nathanael Maia and Zephyr shakes the certainties of the young woman. Throughout the pages and events, Maia developing a new thirst: that of justice. Until then she sought only freedom, but it changes, evolves and becomes disgusted by the indifference and cruelty displayed by the city inhabitants towards towards each other.

The characters trio works fine. They are very different from each other, and they never even should have to meet, but it is this difference that makes their strength. An unbreakable link will be created between the three of them. Maia, Zephyr and Nathanael come with a great strength of character and are desperate to find freedom and flee the city. They all three thirst for a fresh start, a second chance, a new world.

In conclusion, "The Butterfly Children" was a great surprise. In my view, the novel by Gabrielle Massat is a real gem in the young-adult literary landscape. Followers of dystopias (or if you do not know the genre, it works too, lol), I highly recommend "The child Butterfly"! In addition, they is a one-shot;) no need to stamping impatiently for the suite.
