Volume 1 is readable by itself: It really fit into the story and the Gonelore world. But one can not help but find a repetition with Harry Potter (a "special" schools, teachers or corrupt traitors etc ...). Volume 2 puts an end to this idea and provides very good Grimbert: Dynamic, complex, with a very well-conducted plot and multifaceted characters.
The rant returns to the editor: It is full of typos!
