Tome 2 de Elementals
Résumé :
After the fateful battle between the ice wolves and the scorch dragons, Anders and his twin sister, Rayna, have been reunited. But there’s no time to celebrate.
The temperature all over Vallen is starting to drop. And Anders quickly learns that the wolves have stolen a weather-altering artifact called the Snowstone, and every dragon, including Rayna, is now in danger. Desperate to broker peace, Anders enlists the help of a few new flame-breathing friends to stop the wolves’ next plan of attack.
Together, these former rivals must go on a dangerous quest to find the scattered pieces of the Sun Scepter, the only artifact that can counteract the Snowstone. Because if either device goes unchecked, all hope for a truce will be lost.

THE BATTLE BETWEEN THE DRAGONS AND THE wolves was over.
Now, less than an hour later, Anders sat between his best friend, Lisabet, and his sister, Rayna, both of whom were on makeshift beds amid the bustle of the infirmary.
All the scorch dragons were in human form—the crowded cave was deep inside the mountain, not big enough for even one actual dragon. As it was, bodies were packed into every corner as medics hurried back and forth.
Anders’s attention was abruptly yanked away from the flurry of activity when Lisabet groaned beside him. Her pale skin was whiter than usual right now, and even her freckles didn’t look like themselves. She’d hit her head hard defending the dragons from the wolves she and Anders had accidentally led here.
“Are you okay?” He leaned in to get a better look at her, but the answer came from his other side, in his twin’s dry voice.
“She tried to knock her brains out. She’s probably not.”
He turned to look at Rayna, who was curled up under a huge pile of blankets, only her head visible. Her warm brown skin had turned a dangerous gray when she’d first been hit by a wolf’s ice spear, and though it was slowly coming back to normal, her cheeks were still unnaturally pale, the color of ashes. Cold damage, the healer had said.
One of Anders’s Ulfar Academy classmates had done that to her. He and Lisabet had come here to try and save Rayna, and his class had followed in pursuit. If only they hadn’t followed, everybody would be safe right now.
During the long race to reach Drekhelm, Anders had been constantly afraid. Afraid Rayna was about to be sacrificed by the dragons. Afraid he wouldn’t know how to save her even if he did make it. Afraid she wasn’t his twin sister at all, since she could transform into a scorch dragon while he was an ice wolf, and everyone knew it was impossible to find both in the same family.
But instead of saving her, he’d found her settling in just fine. He’d brought danger right to her doorstep, and he’d made enemies of the wolves he’d just learned to think of as his pack. And now he was trapped at Drekhelm, the dragon stronghold.
“I’m okay.” Lisabet’s voice jolted him back to the present.
“The nurse said you’d have a headache,” he told her quietly. “And you have to stay awake for a few hours more, in case there’s any damage inside your head that they can’t see.”

Extrait du chapitre 1
Mon avis :
Un second tome un peu plus lent que le premier et qui m'a légèrement moins plu. Ça reste tout de même une lecture très plaisante et divertissante. Il souffre malheureusement de la malédiction du second tome, à savoir qu'il prépare pour le grand final à venir dans le troisième et dernier tome.
J'ai cependant beaucoup aimé le développement des personnages au cours de ce roman et les voir évolué dans leurs relations les uns par rapport aux autres. J'ai bien aimé découvrir toute la bande de compagnons "Dragons" de Rayna et voir Anders tenter de s'acclimater à ce nouvel environnement alors qu'il est lui-même un "Loup".
L'autrice met vraiment l'accent sur l'amitié et la confiance envers les autres dans ce second tome et j'ai plutôt été charmée par l'amitié qui se développe entre les enfants dragons et Anders, le seul loup. J'ai aimé les voir dépassé leurs préjugés et leurs aprioris sur le camp adverse et les voir s'unir pour réussir à dévoiler au grand jour la vérité sur les Loups et les Dragons. J'ai trouvé cet aspect là du roman très bien traité.
J'ai vraiment apprécié l'aspect quête qui se développe au fur et à mesure du roman. L'autrice nous permet ainsi de vraiment découvrir l'univers qu'elle a créée. J'ai aussi adoré en apprendre plus sur les artefacts et commencer à démêler l'histoire autour de leur création.
La fin de ce roman promet une suite plutôt sympathique et des révélations très chouettes semblent se profiler. Bien que moins bon que le premier et moins "pétillant", le roman est tout de même agréable à lire et les personnages agréables à suivre.
