The 5 volumes were devoured in no time; the 1st pocket and the other in ... ed. "normal" since I do not have a choice. Obviously I await the translation of the result impatiently but ... it seems to drag the fifth volume the story in length; and it stops just as if it had been cut with the French publisher or translator anywhere, after a number of pages. That said, I highly recommend the series to fantasy enthusiasts for the originality of treatment of the characters and the division of the chapters that maintains a constant interest.
