TRES BON
The city-state Sirapirat once knew only warmth and monsoon. When the Winter Queen conquered it, she remade the land in her image, turning Sirapirat into a country of snow and unending frost. But an empire is not her only goal. In secret, she seeks the fragments of a mirror whose power will grant her deepest desire.
At her right hand is General Lussadh, who bears a mirror shard in her heart, as loyal to winter as she is plagued by her past as a traitor to her country. Tasked with locating other glass-bearers, she finds one in Nuawa, an insurgent who’s forged herself into a weapon that will strike down the queen.
To earn her place in the queen’s army, Nuawa must enter a deadly tournament where the losers’ souls are given in service to winter. To free Sirapirat, she is prepared to make sacrifices: those she loves, herself, and the complicated bond slowly forming between her and Lussadh.
If the splinter of glass in Nuawa's heart doesn't destroy her first.

Un très bon récit de fantasy hivernale, dépaysant par sa structure et ses personnages. L'autrice nous emmène dans un univers détaillé en pourtant peu de pages, et distille complots et politiques entre des scènes d'action passionnantes. Je me suis beaucoup attachée à Nuawa mais aussi à Lussadh, j'ai hâte de lire la suite ! Les relations queers sont bien décrites.
