The reading of this opus is not inherently unpleasant, but we have to concentrate not to let his thoughts wander as the plot is thin. It's simple, after reading, I would not be able to tell what interesting happening. The designs are pleasant, although I appreciate less direct color as the sublime drawings of the great period of Thorgal (vol 1-14.); in any case, they are largely in the best long barren (already) experienced by the series of albums from 20 to 30 from all points of view. No, the real problem is the betrayal of the character of Thorgal. Obviously the writer has not read the series before replacing Van Hamme. It is still based on a personality with strong values, whose deep love story that links the character to Aaricia since the birth of it is just the recurring motif and often the main frame of the work, legendary albums including 4 to 6. But now to "modern", it shows us that Thorgal is only a man like any other: the adored companion of the past is plastered to her role as mother and flesh weak ... Out of sight, out of mind. Apparently it makes him more human. But what interest to give the characteristics of Thorgal almost all existing characters, and conduct psychological reversals worthy of American soaps or comics that pass into the hands of many writers? As much and create a series of original characters, rather than altering a work of 40 years. 30 years ago I read this saga, and as the first albums of Sente centered Jolan, which seemed to announce a handover, according relançaient me salutary a series of breath, so I am more than doubtful now that Thorgal returned to the center of the story. The character in the hands of Sente is old and tired ... Maybe it was not until the end of the long cycle initiated with the parallel series to replay the whole and judge its value, but this album is of itself a limited and unconvincing interest.
