Unreliable narrators are really tricky to pull off, but it works pretty well in this case. The worldbuilding and protagonists lack a bit of depth, and okay, it doesn't always makes sense all the time, but it is entertaining.

Je les avais lus ado (d'ailleurs, est-ce qu'on les fait toujours lire aux ados ?), et le fait d'avoir vécu dans l'est de Paris depuis y a ajouté une touche assez savoureuse.

A climate thriller and anticipation novel, Always North is really well written, with enough poetry, vivid action and complex characters to embark the reader and take them wherever the story goes. And it never goes where it would be predictable -- only the climate catastrophe is.

This novel has pretty much everything: an alternate history setting that is at times omnipresent and a detail at others ; a mysterious contemporary artist ; many LGBTQ+ characters ; drama and love.

Very enjoyable.
