About the author
Cate Tiernan
104 books3,811 followers"was born in New Orleans, LA, in 1961. New Orleans is one of the most interesting American cities, and it has an incredibly rich and exotic culture that had a profound influence on me. Kids in other cities have lemonade stands; we sold voodoo gris-gris and made wax dolls in the likenesses of our enemies. It's a very beautiful city, and the constant heat and humidity make gardens grow out of control. There's an air of lassitude there, a general acceptance of eccentic or flamboyant behavior--the heat simply makes people do crazy things.
I went to school in New York, and after school went back to New Orleans. Then I went back to New York (Manhattan) and got a job in publishing and started writing. My first book, a young, middle-grade chapter book, was published in 1990.
Living in Manhattan was incredible, even though I didn't have a lot of money. There was so much to do and see, and so many interesting people to watch. There was a lot of frenetic energy there, and sometimes that felt very wearing and hard to live with. After eight years I was ready for a change, and my husband and I moved back to New Orleans. (Are you seeing a pattern here?)
(While I was in NY, I helped edit "The Secret Circle" by L.J. Smith. I thought it was great.)
We stayed in New Orleans five years. By the time we had two small children we knew we had to find someplace safer to live. I was glad my children were born in New Orleans--I had been born there, and my father had, and his father had, and his father had and so on. There was something about the connection of generations of blood coming from one place that I found very primal and important.
Now I live in a cohousing community in Durham, NC. This is the most suburban place I've ever lived, and it's very different from living right in the middle of a city. For one thing, there aren't enough coffee shops. However, it's incredibly safe, and the community is very important to me. There are a lot of strong women here, and I find them inspiring.
Am I a witch? Well, no. Even Wicca is too organized a religion for me. I'm much more idiosyncratic and just need to do my own thing, which is kind of new-agey and pantheistic. It's not that I don't work or play well with others, but I need to decide for myself when I do a certain thing, and how I do it. However, I can really relate to Wicca, and I so appreciate its woman-centeredness and its essentially female identity. I love those aspects, among others.
I have several favorite writers. Barbara Hambly has been the biggest influence on how I describe magic. She's an incredibly imaginative and empathetic writer with a gift for creating a rich, sensual world. I love Barbara Pym, an English writer whose books came out mostly in the fifties. She was a master at describing the thousand tiny moments that make up a woman's day; how the seemingly small and inconsequential thing can suddenly take on a huge emotional importance. I greatly admire P.D. James. She's one of the very few writers who makes me actually look up words in the dictionary. She has a beautiful, precise, educated command of the language that leaves me in awe. I love Philip Larkin's poetry. I read a lot of nonfiction and also have some favorite romance writers. Before anyone groans, let me say that these women write really well about women trying to achieve emotional fulfillment, and that's kind of what we're all doing, right? I also just like reading about sex. Anyway, Jennifer Crusie, Susan Elizabeth Phillips, and early Linda Howard are my faves.
And then of course there's my dark side, but more on that later.

Contrairement à plusieurs personnes, je n’avais jamais lu ou même entendu parler de cette saga jeunesse, mais lorsque j’ai vu la beauté des collectors et su que la sorcellerie y figurait en premier plan, je n’ai pas hésité une seconde à plonger dans cette histoire fantastique.
Nous sommes ici témoins d’une quête d’identité avec Morgan, une jeune fille de 17 ans qui est bien déterminée à lever le voile sur ses origines. J’ai bien aimé découvrir en même temps qu’elle tous les secrets bien gardés depuis longtemps. Les émotions qui la submergent tout au long des réponses à ses questions m’ont rentré dedans tellement c’était puissant.
J’ai particulièrement adoré en apprendre sur les rituels de la Wicca, un mouvement religieux basé entre autre sur le respect de la nature. Je visualisais sans difficulté les chants, les danses et l’explosion de magye (pour différencier de l’illusion) qui en découlait. Oh et n’oublions pas les runes qui m’ont vraiment fasciné!
Morgan va malheureusement faire face à des côtés obscurs chez des personnes envers qui elle avait pleinement confiance et j’ai ressenti beaucoup d’empathie pour elle. J’avais l’impression de revenir à l’adolescence avec les nombreux chocs émotionnels suite à des proches qui peuvent nous décevoir…
Il existe beaucoup de mystères tout au long de l’histoire, si bien qu’on a l’impression que chaque personnage cache aux yeux des autres quelque chose d’important, surtout ce cher Cal, qui va complètement chambouler la vie de Morgan dès les premières pages.
Si vous êtes attirés par tout ce qui concerne l’univers des sorcières je vous invite à entrer dans le cercle!

Il y a PLEIN de fautes dans cette édition (sérieusement, c'est fou, surtout des erreurs de tirets de dialogue), mais j'ai envoyé un courriel aux éditions ADA et ils m'ont répondu qu'ils vont faire une nouvelle révision et corriger les erreurs pour la prochaine réimpression. Amen 🙏🏻 J'peux pas croire qu'ils n'étaient pas au courant des fautes, que personne les ont informés avant? 😱 Je pensais avoir une copie défectueuse, mais ils m'ont dit que toutes les copies étaient comme ça malheureusement (woops). Néanmoins, c'est ma série choucou et je la relis pour la 2e fois, la 1ere fois remontant à de nombreuses années.

Coup de cœur !
Cette intégrale regroupe les trois premiers tomes de la série Sorcière et m'a complètement captivée. L'ambiance est envoûtante, l'univers magique bien construit, et l'évolution de Morgan est fascinante à suivre. On s'attache aux personnages, on doute, on se questionne… et on veut la suite immédiatement.
Une lecture fluide, immersive et mystérieuse. Je suis conquise ! 👌

C’était bon, mais je comm c’était le premier tome, il n’y avait pas vraiment d’intrigue.
