excerpt from my blog "abrrracadabra.canalblog.com" So I ended daughter Belle, and it is indeed a volume 1, volume and not a "single". This first volume poses the story, the character of Isabella, the other characters, until the story starts "really" (even if we did not have time to get bored before either) when she is 20 years old. It's Sophie Audouin-Mamikonian pure juice, with his writing, his humor (I was a little weighed, I admit, perhaps due to saturation Tara Duncan?), The action, and figures close to those of Tara. Isabelle looks like a mix of Tara and Sparrow, the Empress of Omois very little present, seems a dead ringer for Lisbeth etc. But the secondary characters are ultimately very transparent in this volume 1, we would have liked to know more about them, especially childhood friends. In the end, we spent a great time, but I found it less exciting than the first Tara Duncan. And above all, I wonder how he felt by someone who does not know yet Autremonde, Lancovit, Omois etc ... The author explains very little this new world, except by footnotes page, unlike "Tara" where we discovered all along heroin.
