I never knew I needed to know what happened to Jean until this book was announced. Once the announcement was out, all I could think about was him and I've been obsessed ever since.

This book was everything I needed, it laid the groundwork for what will happen in book two, how Jean will grow and how his relationship with the Trojans and with Jeremy will evolve. This book was very much necessary to make us understand what he went through and what he survived, and I can't wait to see him bloom because if there's anyone who deserves it, it's him.

Side note, i love how Neil showed up and just served cunt lmao like, I do understand Andrew on a spiritual level, my boy never stood a chance against Neil, he was doomed to fall in love with him from the very beginning

Quand je vous dis j’ai sauté sur le livre, j’ai sauté sur le livre des sa sortie hier.
La saga m’a marquee au fer rouge (petite ref glauque) et j’avais entendu dire qu’une suite devait arriver sur Jean.
J n’avais aucun souvenir de Jean, un tout petit souvenir de Jeremy (j’ai lu il y a longtemps), j’ai du retourner sur les sites de fandom (très complets omg) pour trouver toutes les infos.

Je reste sur ma FAIM. J’aurais voulu 200 pages de plus au moins, et la je ne sais pas ce que je vais faire sans le prochain.
Je savais déjà qu’on allait avoir du trauma à foison, et un slow burn slow de chez slow, puisque c’est la marque de fabrique de très chère Nora.

J’ai beaucoup aimé en apprendre plus sur ces FRAPPADINGUES de Ravens, j’ai hate de connaître plus Jeremy, on a eu que des entrevues, et on ne comprend toujours pas ce qui lui est arrivé à lui. 

Pauvre Jean vraiment on est sur du high level de trauma la aussi, et je me demande ce qu’elle va nous pondre pour Jeremy.\
Et Jeremy…… tellement mignon, tellement doux, ils sont parfaits, j’ai vraiment hate de les voir s’aimer. Ca m’a donné envie de tout relire.

Bref pour moi c’était pas assez, je veux plus plus plus plus

Note ; 17/20
