Cinders and Sparrows par Stefan Bachmann
Overal I liked this book. I really liked how this book focused on witches and witch powers. I liked the characters but did not love them. I also felt a bit disconnected from them. I overall liked the pace and the plot and really liked how this book would be a good book to read in the fall because its had a light ereiry hint. I also really liked the house and the set of this story. I would def check out more reads by the author in the future.

I've had a bit of a break in my 2016 reading and this was a great book to get back into the habit. It was fun.
The narrative switches between Anouk, a 17 year old American girl in 2016 that's heavily channeling Xanthippe from Unbreakable Kimmy Schmidt, and Aurelie, a 17 year old French aristocrat running from revolutionaries in 1790. Chapters rarely exceeded 8 pages long and that made it easy to zip through chapter after chapter, switching stories fairly quickly. Both stories left me fascinated, flipping through quickly, eager to see the connections.
In tone, A Drop of Night was reminiscent of the movie Cube (which, granted, came out before the characters in the book were even born) with an injection of fantastical horror.… (plus d'informations)

I was not familiar with Stefan Bachmann before this title, but I am so glad to know about him now. While the poverty and violence of this particular magical world may be a little much for the under-12s, the story is gripping and the characters are wonderfully engaging. I am always particularly impressed with authors who capture the dark side of the fairy world, and Stefan has certainly done that. A feast for the visual imagination and a fresh story.
