Rime Chronicles, Tome 2 : Shadow and Flame

I have been pushing buying Shadow & Flame, I don’t even know why, and now I am mad at myself for not reading this book sooner!

I loved Onyx & Ivory, but I think I was a little afraid that the sequel wouldn’t hold up to the first book. Well, I was super wrong. This book was simply amazing.

The plot was really great, it took me by surprise a lot more than I would like to admit and I could not put this book down. When I pick it up, I thought it would take me several days to read it. It took me two days, and I am almost sad I read it so quickly!

The characters were still amazing and I loved their development! They are not perfect, they are flawed and yet an absolute blast to read about.

Spoiler(cliquez pour révéler)The only tiny flaw of this book is probably about Corwin and Kate’s reunion. They spent half the book away from each other, and I loved that when they were reunited it was a little awkward and even distant because of what they both went through. But I though the distance went a little too long, as it took the book ending for them to be properly together. But as the romance is not the main aspect of this book, it didn’t alter my rating of the book.

Overall, I really loved this duology and it deserves more love!

Une suite que je n'ai pas trouvé à la hauteur du premier tome, peut-être est-ce dû au grand laps de temps entre les deux lectures. Je n'avais presque pas de souvenirs du premier tome quand j'ai lu celui-ci. Malgré tout, j'ai quand même passé un bon moment.
