A first volume that has potential despite some flaws!

Jattendais with impatient to read my first Valentina !! The books that are published tempt me there a lot and I have taken the plunge with The Ascended Justine Patérour! He comes to his first book that I liked even sil there has pros and cons

First, it was quickly snapped up by main story, some fifty pages and is discovered dAlysiane world. Playback does not suffer too long dune introduction, the heart of the matter narrive not long after, a very good point. I liked discovering the world that Justine has created. The locations are described with a nice pen, I havent had no trouble mimaginer scenery surround our heroes. I have been captivated by the different peoples and creatures that live there, as well as the stories and prophecy.

As for the characters, I was pleasantly surprised by the narrative of change that helps a lot to find sy! It makes dAlicia knowledge of Sarah and Stephan who landed in Alysiane against their will. Advancing more in the story, it also made the dHakim knowledge. Jai favorite male characters, each has a fairly pronounced character which spiced a little discussion. Stephan and Hakim are deep characters. Even sils do not show, they have their own weaknesses. They have the most advanced in the book, at first they are cold and distant to each then become a little more accessible. This is what I really enjoyed in them.

Then the girls side, i liked Sarah's best friend dAlicia, it also evolves and learns to become stronger. It has humor and his duet with Stephan me laugh a lot. By cons, in terms dAlicia, I have not hung at all this is that this is the problem main heroine and I suppose that great things must happen to him. Only lorsquon describes as a strong young woman, I did not see her in this role at all !! Alicia spends most of her time crying at sévanouir, to fall on his butt, etc. This is far from the strong person to whom sattend. In addition, it magnifier all! Where it of the action it has ben Alicia, she is not there ^^ It sest lost somewhere and his friends do all the work. It upset me a lot actually and that is unfortunate because it sullied a little reading.

Going back a bit to the prophecy and all that happens to our heroes, I found that they were too easily trust people that they had just met. They did not ask many questions and simply follow suit. That point my not too disappointed because I naurai reacts easily chef. Jaurai liked more reactions, more movement from them.

In short, a first volume which has some shortcomings but is very promising in terms thereafter. I had a good time. It comes, as I have said, the first book Justine wrote, it still lacks some things, but I am very impressed with everything this world and this universe which has implemented and described how nicely :)
