Dans un univers envahi par la Brume, deux jeunes femmes unissent leur magie pour sauver le monde de la destruction.
Depuis l'enfance, Héra vit dans le Sanctuaire des Prêtres de l'Eau, où elle apprend à maîtriser sa magie pour devenir Guerrière. Au cours d'une mission, elle rencontre Intissar, une Soeur de Feu venue avertir les habitants d'un terrible danger. Mais il est déjà trop tard : une vague de Brume, peuplée de créatures ni mortes ni vivantes, frappe le Sanctuaire. Et elle frappera encore.
Mon avis
Je voudrais commencer par remercier Mlle Rageot pour m'avoir envoyé ce roman. Et je tiens à signaler que je resterais franche concernant ma chronique.
Tout d'abord, les personnages sont vraiment super attachants : j'ai autant aimé Héra qu'Intissar (même si au début, pour une raison inconnue, j'avais en tête qu'Intissar était un garçon)! Ce sont des filles attachantes, courageuses, altruistes.Leur amitié ilustre d'ailleurs une très jolie relation malgré leur origine (leur Sanctuaire respectif ne s'apprécient pas) et leurs différences (de culture, de magie, ...).
Le mélange mythologie-magie est original et vraiment bien apporté. Avec son écriture fluide, Cindy Van Wilder nous emporte dans ce tout nouveau monde et l'aventure est vraiment agréable. Elle nous illustre la dureté de la vie dans les Sanctuaires et la relation houleuse entre les Sanctuaires d'une façon tellement douce et naturelle qu'on s'attache encore plus vite à ses personnages. Attendez-vous à ressentir beaucoup d'émotions lors de la lecture de ce premier tome.
Par contre, étant donné que ce n'est que le premier tome, il y a encore de nombreuses questions qui n'ont pas eu de réponses. En effet, quelle est cette brume mystérieuse, à quoi correspond-elle exactement, d'où vient-elle ? Et les autres pouvoirs ? Quels sont-ils ? Que peuvent-ils faire ? Pourquoi faire de la magie si elle crée encore plus cette brume toxique mortelle ?
Cette brume me fait penser à l'énergie nucléaire : on sait que c'est dangereux, nocif, mortel mais on continue à l'utiliser. Cindy Van Wilder souligne également l'égoïsme que l'Homme peut représenter via les relations des Sanctuaires, mais également l'acceptation de la différence (culturelle, magique, ...).
J'aurais aimé en savoir bien plus sur la vie des Sanctuaires : la vie des filles, la vie des passeurs, des pirates, l'origine de cette brume mais également de cette magie. J'espère qu'on en apprendra plus dans le tome suivant qui va sortir en mai.
Pour finir, je tiens à faire remarquer le travail incroyable de la première page de couverture : elle est vraiment magnifique !
Since childhood, Hera has been living in the Shrine of the Water Priests, where she learns how to master her magic to become a Warrior. During a mission, she meets Intissar, a Sister of Fire, who came to warn the inhabitants of a terrible danger. But it is already too late: a wave of Fog, populated by neither dead nor alive creatures, strikes the Shrine. And it will strike again.
My opinion
I would like to begin by thanking Miss Rageot for sending me this novel. And I also want to point out that I'll remain frank about my review.
First of all, the characters are really endearing: I loved Hera as much as Intissar (although at the beginning, for some reasons, I was thinking Intissar was a boy)! They are endearing, brave, and altruistic girls. Their friendship illustrates a wonderful relationship despite their origin (their respective Shrine don't appreciate each other) and their differences (culture, magic, ...).
The mythology-magic mix is original and really well brought. With her fluid writing, Cindy Van Wilder takes us into this brand new world and the adventure is really enjoyable. It illustrates the harshness of life in the Shrines and the stormy relationship between the Shrines in a way so much sweet and natural that we get attached even faster to her characters. Expect to feel a lot of emotions when reading this first book.
However, being the first book, many questions remain without any answers. Indeed, what is this mysterious fog, what exactly it is, where does it come from? And about the other powers? What are they? What can they do? Why doing magic if it creates even more of this toxic and mortal fog?
This fog has me think of nuclear energy: we know that it is dangerous, harmful, deadly but we are keeping on using it. Cindy Van Wilder also underlines the selfishness that the Man can represent via the relationships between the Shrines, but also the acceptance of the difference (culture, magic, ...).
I would have liked to know more about the life in the Shrines though: the life of girls, the life of the smugglers, the pirates, the origin of this fog but also of this magic. I hope we'll know more in the following book that will be released in May.
Finally, I want to point out the incredible work of the front cover: it is really beautiful!
