A chalice of wind Cate tiernan
Résumé : Separated at birth, Thais and Clio are identical twins who've never met. Clio lives with her grandmother in New Orleans, where they practice Bonne Magie, a branch of witchcraft similar to Wicca but much older. Thais has lived with her father in Connecticut, and when he dies in a freak accident, she is moved to New Orleans by her new guardian, Axelle Gauvin, also a practicing witch. Thais meets Clio on the first day of their senior year at her new school, and both are freaked. Why were they separated? And what happens now that they are reunited? The girls tell their stories in alternating narratives. They are the most fully developed characters, but even secondary characters are given some depth. Though the plot starts off rather slowly in Connecticut, it picks up speed when Thais arrives in New Orleans and other secrets are discovered. Each chapter holds a sense of mystery and uneasiness. The ending is wide open, leaving so many questions unanswered and raising so many new ones that the next installment is a necessity. Avis : Vous aimez les sorcières, la magie et les mystères ? Ce livre est fait pour vous ! Dans un anglais assez clair et simple, Cate Tiernan plante le décor : Nouvelle-Orléans, jumelles aux pouvoirs magiques, jeune homme mystérieux et danger qui plane tout proche… De quoi avoir envie de lire la suite au plus vite ! Dommage, le tome 2 est épuisé… Pour anecdote, certains dialogues sont en français, mais l’auteur n’a pas pensé à les faire corriger par quelqu’un qui parle vraiment notre langue… ! 16/20 Tome 3 : A feather of stone Tome 4 : A neclace of water |
