Good despite the flaws

Back to Greenfalls is the 22th book in the series XIII, but especially the 3rd tome designed by Jigounov and written by Sente. And although XIII Jigounov / Sente duo are slightly worse than those of Vance / Van Hamme, it nen remains an excellent recovery, thus reviving the series, which, it must be said, began to sessouffler, brilliantly .

This 23th opus thus starts in Afghanistan, where Jones and Mac Carrington Lane are prisoners. To avoid disaster, XIII (Mac Lane) decides to cooperate with the organization that holds the prisoners. XIII is returned to the US to undergo kinds of experiences meant to restore the memory, so that it can deliver signi fi cant information that could allow Puritans to recover their rights, transferred to Ticket Mayflower, including Mac Lane is the last descendant.

Sente is gifted. With his return to Greenfalls, it keeps the reader spellbound from beginning to end, in an exciting story. We nattendons only one thing left that XIII find his memory and that he gives us all the information, that it takes the mystery out the characters and the plot, and the series in its entirety. However, and this is what is damage, the action lacks enormously, contrary to what was Van Hamme, Sente XIII offers a much more passive, which seeks (and wants) more fight, and who simply wants this story ends. So despite the revelations of childhood Jason and the many twists and turns, you lose the essence of the XIII series.

The style of Jigounov sticks very well to that of Vance, and is quite successful. Dynamic, expressive and efficient, this is all that one can expect from a tome XIII. Japprécie really sets and scenery that I find beautiful and very worked. In addition, the coloring done very well out everything.

The undergraduate XIII (that of Van Hamme and Vance) was excellent. But over time, the series was losing its luster. With this second cycle, it finds a second wind, and even if it's not perfect yet, it's still good and exciting reading!
