C'était la lecture du mois de février de notre bookclub et je suis contente de l'avoir lu dans ce cadre ! J'ai apprécié ma lecture et je l'ai lu plutôt rapidement (j'avais souvent envie de savoir la suite), même si Jeanne m'a profondément saoulée. Estevar closed his eyes a moment, allowing the eerie echoes to surround him. The voice was deep, confident, but that gravitas was trained rather than natural. The accent – most notably the rising inflection on the last vowel of the abbey’s name, almost as if he were saying ‘Som–brae’ – suggested a commoner raised in this duchy, not highborn himself, but accustomed to being in the presence of nobles. En pratique, son immersion est compliquée car elle doit duper ses camarades et ses précepteurs, ne pas se planter aux épreuves (art courtois, art équestre, art de la conversation, art martial). Elle doit également soutenir une concurrence féroce au sein de la Cour. Imperious attempted to bite off the knight’s hand. When that failed, he snatched the leather cylinder away from him. Imperious ignored him, instead issuing a braying warning to the approaching knight. Running away clearly wasn’t the beast’s style.

Court of Shadows – HarperCollins

In the heart of rural France, commoner Jeanne Froidelac witnesses the king’s soldiers murder her family and learns of her parents’ role in a brewing rebellion involving the forbidden secrets of alchemy. To seek her revenge, Jeanne disguises herself as an aristocrat and enrolls in a prestigious school for aspiring courtiers. She soon finds herself at the doors of the palace of Versailles. My name is Sir Daven Colraig,’ the young knight declared, hugging Estevar with frantic relief. ‘I am Sheriff Outrider to His Lordship, Margrave Someil. It was he who commanded me to await you here these past seven days.’ Sobre Jeanne, fue uno de los personajes más vacíos y marionetas que he leído en el último tiempo. Carece por completo de una personalidad, solo es su deseo de venganza. Dice estar decidida a morir con tal de cumplir su venganza y no confía en nadie, pero se hace de una amiga de inmediato, incluso se enamora de la única persona que la trata bien. Es un cliché andante que hace lo que tiene que hacer según la circunstancia o contexto para hacerla quedar como una protagonista interesante, aunque sea matar, pero cada vez que lo hace lanza gritos tipo: ¡la libertad o la muerte! ¡Eso es por mi familia! y cosas así que mataron por completo el mood. Y, por su parte, la ambientación es una auténtica pasada, de verdad que es como si estuviésemos ya sumergidos en ese mundo, en Versalles, entre vampiros, y sinceramente estoy segura de que os fliparía.Però non credo che lo stile potesse essere così diverso in origine. Per quanto questo fosse uno YA, non è che scrivere un romanzo per ragazzi voglia dire prendere una trama per adulti e banalizzarla, riducendo ogni scena a una farsa splatter. se lit vite et facilement. L’intrigue suit son cours et nous happe. Je ne me suis pas du tout ennuyée et j’ai envie de savoir la suite.

Court of Shadows (Shadow Fae Book 1) Kindle Edition

Waouh, c'était excellent ! L'histoire nous entraîne dans un univers vampirique (le Roy-Soleil a transmuté) dans lequel on suit le parcours d'une roturière au destin incroyable. All characters and the ACOTAR world belongs to Sarah J Maas. This is a work of fan fiction that respects the author of which the original content came. Todo lo que esperes de un libro de VAMPIROS, esta historia lo tiene!!! Pero además bien narrado, enganchante, con tensión, misterio... The fault isn’t mine,’ Estevar grumbled, his words drowned out by the sleet and rain currently hampering their approach to the causeway. ‘Bring suit against the First Cantor if you’re so aggrieved. It was she who assigned us this gods-be-damned judicial circuit that never ends.’wat ik echt super interessant vond is dat de geschiedenis eigenlijk normaal loopt totdat koning lodewijk de 14de (de zonnekoning) in een vampier word veranderd en dan de schaduwkoning word. vanaf dat punt splitst de realiteit naar een fantasiewereld. de schaduwkoning houd het magna vampyria rijk in een ijzeren greep en de normale burgers zijn eigenlijk een soort van voedselbank voor de vampieren aristocratie. A Knight of the March of Someil, Estevar reasoned, which explained both the accent and commanding tone. Spellslinger Kellen would give anything to pass his mage’s trials, but what if magic is a con game? After the frightful events of last autumn, seventeen-year-old Louisa Ditton has settled into her role as a maid at Coldthistle House, a place of distortions and lies, but she has not settled into what that means for her humanity. Dem Autor gelingt es eine brutale Welt der Vampire zu erschaffen, in der diese nicht romantisiert, werden, sondern als gefährliche Bestien dargestellt werden. Genau diese düstere und raue Atmosphäre hat mich an der Geschichte fasziniert, genauso wie der neue Aufbau der Gesellschaft.

A fiery heroine seeks vengeance against a royal court of deadly vampires in this epic alternate history set in lavish Versailles. Jeetje, het hoofdpersonage werkt precies in een slachthuis en komt er nog mooi mee weg elke keer. Jeanne wordt gewoon door de plot geholpen en dat irriteert me mateloos.Slap plot die gewoon verholpen wordt door dwaze impulse beslissingen van het hoofdpersonage waar je geen duiding van krijgt. Zeker bij het einde. Ik snap haar motieven niet. Ja oké, ze wil wraak nemen, maar zou je dan niet iets doordachter te werk gaan i.p.v. met een zwaard in het ronde te zwaaien? The Court of Shadows has intriguing world-building and a protagonist with true, merciless grit. You’re rooted in the familiar, yet there are enough twists to break your expectations. Jeanne is vicious in her determination, and the king is utterly fascinating. I NEED TO SEE HIM WITHOUT THAT MASK!” —Charlie N. Holmberg, Wall Street Journal bestselling author of The Paper Magician Traitor’s Blade Can a disgraced swordsman save a young girl caught in the web of a royal conspiracy?
