Okay so personally I would have say yes to Hades. So no story for me. 

That was… interesting? I think I would have like it without the rape scenes tbh. Is there any dark romance without rape? 
Also Persephone is kind of too naive

emotional sad slow-paced

5.0

I knew it was going to be a book hard to read but oof that was something. One you start listening to it you can’t stop, like I listened to 60% in one siting and only stopped because my phone ran out of battery.  , and I cried too listening to it. 
This is an important book to read but if you want please be careful and check the tw because there are a lot.

Je dois avouer que quand j’ai vu que c’était écrit par une personne cis, j’ai un peu grincé des dents. Mais! Parce qu’il y a un mais. Ce livre est vraiment top. Un livre pour les enfants, ou les personnes qui ne s’y connaissent pas en genre et personnes trans. La transitions, les difficultés, quoi faire quand on rencontre/connaît une personne trans, différents genres non-binaires, la detransition pas instrumentalisée ou choquante, la difficulté de s’accepter en tant que personne trans, etc. 

Bref agréablement surpris de ce livre, surtout que c’est un livre jeunesse français. Je vais sûrement l’offrir à mes grands parents

Je comprend beaucoup mieux comment on en arrive à Gotham War (qui arrive en fevrier 😭). Mais franchement tellement de feels en lisant ça

PS: Bruce qui appelle Tim son fils 🥺 (ce qui rend GW encore plus inquiétant)

I love my Supersons. En vrai j’ai adoré le tome. Mais du coup j’ai peur de lire le tome 3. Surtout que j’ai vu le Spoil sur Twitter 😭

Sinon on en parle de Cass en Shazam parce que WoW 🤩. Et que Damian retrouve son seul frère pour que ce dernier meurt quelques pages plus tard. J’étais si heureuse de voir le lien fraternel Jason/Damian (et Cass ofc)

Une timeline qui s’égare du tome 1. Franchement ça fait un peu moins mal au coeur. Mais j’aurai aimé savoir ce qui arrive à Steph et Cass

Et franchement they did Talia justice. A queen
