** 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.

Voici le sixième volume du cycle : Le Soldat Chamane. C'est le nouveau cycle de Robin Hobb. Cet auteur a déjà écrit le cycle de L'assassin royal et son spin-off : Les aventuriers de la mer. Deux sagas incroyables que je recommande à tous.
Jamère Burvelle a été contraint de fuir les siens et de rejoindre les Ocellions au sein de la forêt. Pire, Fils-de-Soldat, son double ocellion a pris possession de son corps et l'emmène vivre comme un Opulent au sein de son peuple. Seul problème, Jamère a dépensé toute sa magie pour enrayer l'avancée des Gerniens au coeur de la forêt. S'il a réussi à les ralentir, il ne les a pas stoppé et a perdu sa corpulence qui fait de lui un Opulent puissant chez les Ocellions. On assiste donc à l'ascension de Fils-de-Soldat en tant qu'Opulent parmi le peuple Ocellion (assisté l'Olikea et de son fils Likari en tant que nourricier). Parallèlement, on suit le combat de Jamère pour tenter de retrouver le contrôle de son propre corps...
Bientôt la suite...
Si seulement les éditeurs français cessaient de couper les romans originaux en trois pour faire plus d'argent... On peut rêver, non ?

L'aventure de Jamère continue.
Impuissant face à la magie Ocelionne qui domine son existence notre héros schizophrène n'a plus qu'à faire profil bas au profit de Fils-de-soldat, son "moi" adepte de la magie, qui saura faire bon usage de son corps.
Avec cet avant-dernier tome, l'histoire prend des airs de documentaire nous présentant la vie, les mœurs ou les arts de la tables des Ocellion.
Intéressant, mais parfois trop répétitif et laborieux.

On se détache enfin de la vie gernienne mais tellement lentement et avec beaucoup trop de papotage. Les utilisations de la magie sont intéressantes et l'arrivée au troc présage une suite intéressante.
