À la fin des années trente, suspendu au sommet des gratte-ciel de New York, il affronte ses ennemis avec le moine Zefiro, et retrouve la piste de celui qui a détruit sa famille. Sa quête le fait passer tout près de la belle Ethel,l’amour de sa vie, lors de la chute du dernier grand dirigeable qui manque le blesser à jamais. Il croit alors se retirer du monde pour toujours. Mais déjà la guerre envahit l’Europe et le remet sur les routes Some of my favorite parts from the first book largely disappeared: pirates, zeppelins, and political strife in between World Wars Europe so I did not like the concluding book as much. It seemed much longer to me, more than the page count anyway. I did like the reveal of who Vango was, and why people seems to be obsessed with him. On the other hand, I found some of the drama in Scotland to be tiresome, as well as the treachery in the French police. The book seemed to devolve into personal dramas from a variety of richer themes. A good book that I took waaaay too long to read, which effected how much I enjoyed it. I get the feeling that it is a great book that dispels the idea that YA books are without nuance and complex plots/characters. Highly recommend, but would almost insist that the two books in the series be read consecutively. no reviews | add a review
