Mon avis
Notre histoire s'installe sur un double monde plutôt bien construit. En effet, différents éléments rejoignent les deux mondes : les Noirs-portraits, les Passeurs, le langage décalé du monde d'Ombre. J'ai vraiment beaucoup aimé cet aspect de l'histoire. Cela permet de se dire que c'est peut-être vrai ; nous sommes peut-être réellement lié à un monde tel que celui d'Ombre.
Le monde que nous découvrons avec Enora est constitué de magie, une magie originale étant donné qu'elle est très limitée : elle dépend de la lumière ou plus exactement de l'ombre créée par la lumière (d'où le nom du monde parallèle). J'ai trouvé cette nouvelle magie très différente des autres, très naturelle et simple. Cela change des magies ordinaires qui dépendent de la terre ou des ancêtres.
J'ai également beaucoup aimé l'originalité des dieux. Ils sont hors du commun. Ils sont en fait très humanisés, ils vivent d'ailleurs parmi les Hommes. Ils ne paraissent pas aussi invincibles qu'on peut en avoir l'habitude dans d'autres livres/films. Surtout le Gris qui m'a beaucoup surprise (je vous laisse le plaisir de découvrir pourquoi).
A la fin de chaque chapitre, il nous est donné un fragment de chronique ou de journal. J'ai vraiment beaucoup aimé cette idée. Au début, on ne comprend rien parce que cela nous donne des éléments d'histoire du passé du monde d'Ombre ou de la vie de la famille d'Enora. Mais au fur et à mesure, ces fragments de chronique ou de journaux nous donnent les morceaux manquants de l'histoire actuelle d'Enora et ses compagnons, ce que j'ai beaucoup aimé.
Par contre, il y a beaucoup de personnages. Certains ont en plus plusieurs noms ce qui peut rendre difficile le suivi de l'histoire. Mais les personnages principaux sont très intéressants et attachants (même si Enora devient, à mon sens, agaçante vers la fin). De plus, certains personnages sont sous-exploités. Je pense à Lïam et Pelekaï dont on ne sait presque rien. J'aurais beaucoup aimé en apprendre plus sur eux. C'est peut-être le cas dans le deuxième tome Les illusions de Sav Loar.
Après avoir lu le début du livre, je m'attendais à plus de batailles de dragons. Après tout, le roman commence avec un combat ! Mais ce sera le seul du roman. Cela a été une petite déception : pas de dragon.
Ce roman évoque également des sujets importants tels que la place de la femme dans le monde car en effet, Ravenn doit se battre pour récupérer sa place de reine à la tête du royaume face à son propre père. Mais il évoque également l'homosexualité et la dépendance de façon succinte.
J'espère pouvoir lire le prochain tome très bientôt ^^
Ombre (Shadow) and Rive (Shore) are two reflections of the same reality, and Enora is the only one with the power to move from one to the other. When her family is brutally decimated by assassins, she takes refuge in the only place where her pursuers can't reach her: in the kingdom of Ombre (Shadow), on the land of her ancestors. There, her road will cross that of Ravenn, rebellious princess back from exile and determined to seize the throne that is rightfully hers. Coïncidence, or orchestrated encounter for a long time?
My opinion
Our story is set up on a double world rather well built. Indeed, different elements join the two worlds: the Black-Portraits, the Passeurs, the out-of-sync language of the world of Ombre (Shadow). I really like this aspect of the story. It helps to think that it may be really true; we maybe really are connected a world such as that one of Ombre (Shadow).
The world that we discover with Enora is made of magic, an original magic because it is very limited: it depends on the light or more precisely the shadow created by the light (hence the name of the parallel world). I found this new magic very different from others, very natural and simple. This is different from ordinary magic that depend on earth or ancestors.
I also loved the originality of the gods. They are out of the ordinary. Actually, they are very humanized; they live among men. They don't seem as invincible as we may be used to in other books/movies. Especially the Grey who has surprised me a lot (I let you discover why).
At the end of each chapter, we are given a fragment of a chronicle or diary. I really liked this idea. In the beginning, we don't understand anything because it gives us various elements of the history of the past of the world of Ombre (Shadow) or of Enora's family's life. But as it time goes by, these fragments of chronicles or diaries give us the missing pieces of the current story of Enora and her companions, which I really liked.
On the other hand, there are many characters. Furthermore, some have several names that can make difficult to follow up the story. But the main characters are very interesting and endearing (even if Enora becomes, in my opinion, annoying towards the end). In addition, some characters are under-exploited. I think about Lïam and Pelekaï, of whom we know almost nothing. I would have loved to learn more about them. This is maybe the case in the second book The illusions of Sav Loar.
After reading the beginning of the book, I was expecting more dragon battles. After all, the novel begins with a fight! But that willbe the only one of the novel. This has been a small disappointment: o dragon.
This book also evokes important topics such as the place of women in the world because indeed, Raveen must fith to get back her place of Queen at the head of the kingdom against her own father. But it also evokes homosexuality and dependence succinctly.
Hopefully, I'll read the next book very soon ^^
