La Citadelle des Ombres - L'Intégrale 3 (Tomes 7 à 9) - L'incomparable saga de l'Assassin royal: Le Prophète blanc - La Secte maudite - Les Secrets de Castelcerf
Quinze ans ont passé… Loin de la cour, le cœur blessé, Fitz s'est retiré dans une chaumière isolée avec son unique et fidèle ami, le loup Œil-de-Nuit. Mais des visiteurs inattendus viennent le troubler dans cette retraite : Umbre, son vieux mentor, Astérie, la ménestrelle, et le Fou. Tous trois le supplient de revenir à la citadelle de Castelcerf où règne Kettricken pendant la minorité de son fils. Ce dernier, le prince Devoir, a mystérieusement disparu. En acceptant de partir à sa recherche pour le ramener au château de ses aïeux, Fitz s'engage dans de nouvelles aventures. Le Bâtard, déguisé sous les habits d'un valet, est donc à nouveau conduit à servir, jusqu'au péril de sa vie, des princes auxquels l'attachent les liens du sang.
** I am shocked to find that some people think a 2 star 'I liked it' rating is a bad rating. What? I liked it. I LIKED it! That means I read the whole thing, to the last page, in spite of my life raining comets on me. It's a good book that survives the reading process with me. If a book is so-so, it ends up under the bed somewhere, or maybe under a stinky judo bag in the back of the van. So a 2 star from me means,yes, I liked the book, and I'd loan it to a friend and it went everywhere in my jacket pocket or purse until I finished it. A 3 star means that I've ignored friends to finish it and my sink is full of dirty dishes. A 4 star means I'm probably in trouble with my editor for missing a deadline because I was reading this book. But I want you to know . . . I don't finish books I don't like. There's too many good ones out there waiting to be found.

3,75 ⭐ Des longueurs dans cette intégrale mais quel plaisir de retourner dans l’ambiance des complots à la cour de Castelcerf !
Il me parait par contre indispensable de respecter l’ordre de lecture de la saga et de bien faire un crochet par Terrilville avec Les Aventuriers de la Mer ça faisait bien plaisir d’avoir 3 longueurs d’avance sur Fitz et Umbre pour une fois ⚓
