Read this because of Lovecraft praises and trying to find a novel I remember only fragments, I was a bit surprised by the story as it slowly descends into madness but I can see the appeal and relationship with Lovecraft's work.

J'ai vraiment bien aimé cet ensemble de quatre récits filés et ces fragments de vie qui donnent une fenêtre sur l'homosexualité en Corée de quelqu'un ayant grandit en même temps que moi. Il y a des moments très touchants, d'autres montrant une espèce de cynisme homosexuel qui semble exister un peu partout, des moments un peu difficiles, mais où le charactère principal démontre une force de caractère assez unique. J'ai beaucoup aimé l'humour dont fait preuve l'auteur à travers tout le récit, démontrant un don pour l'autodérision assez poussé, le menant parfois à faire des choix en s'oubliant totalement. Un beau récit dont je suis assez curieux de découvrir l'adaptation cinématographique.

In this fake news era, this was a gripping read and it puts a brand new and inventive spin on the whole 'zombie story'. It's hard to say more about this novel without spoiling it, but I really liked it and I was consistently surprised by it from the beginning to the end.

Really loved this one, there was a real tension troughout the story that left me breathless. Nghi Vo has a storyteller skill absolutely unique, every one of those books feels like an evening around the fire telling stories while the night grows darker. The stories, universe and characters are really unique, painting beautiful pictures in your mind in an unique way. I think this has become my feel good serie when I want something to warm my heart and provide shelter.

Sooo I read this one before the second one, but it didn't spoil me anything in the story, that's nice :'D Really love this serie, it makes me feel calm and cozy and paints beautiful pictures of those legends in my mind. I really like how the author weaves the characters and the legends together and I'm always happily surprised at the end.

This was a perfect ending for this trilogy. While I had my doubt on the first volume, I've been totally captivated by the second and this last one. The characters evolution was absolutely wonderful (even if I wanted to smack some of them in the head especially the main one sometimes) and the way their friendships grew stronger with every step wonderful. I shouted in happiness when **that kiss** happened of course, and the romance was perfectly written in respect to the two characters history. I didn't think I'd like a story centered around a sport (albeit fictional) but I was taken by surprise and really happy with it!

The cliffhanger at the end of the first volume made me want to tackle this one immediately and I wasn't deceived! Things escalated at a quick pace now that the characters were set and the story took me to new heights. The relationships between the Foxes was great with their bonds tightening and the rivalry with the Ravens was suffocating. The end of this second book made me shed a tear for Neil and I just can't wait to read the final tome

Had some troubles getting into it because there's a lot of characters and it took me some time to get to know everyone and not mix them, but once this was set up the story was really captivating. This first book is hard, by its introduction of all the characters but also by how Neil comes to be included in the Foxes team (really not pleasant). However, by the end you start to grow fond of all of them and really curious about what will happen next, so I'm really looking forward to discover more about this story in the next volumes!

Absolutely stunning, akin to the Empire Trilogy written by Raymond E. Feist & Janny Wurts, but make it gay! The amount of intrigues, court plays, war tactics and table turning was absolutely fantastic. And I adored the relationship between Laurent and Damen and never knowing exactly what Laurent was thinking or what he'll do. This is a great ending for this trilogy and an excellent trilogy overall!
