Je ne sais que dire, c’est avec grande émotion que j’ai fermé le dernier. Un goût de trop peu tant on s’attache à tous nos personnages : Braise, Flamme, Ruarth, Tor, Gilfeather ou encore Dec et Elarn ! Avoir leur vision du Changement, leurs témoignages les entendre rebondir les uns sur les autres, ce petit groupe si soudé qui a tout changé… je garderai toujours une profonde admiration pour Braise ! Quelle force de caractère ! Et pour Flamme, qui d’un tout autre genre à su montrer une force incomparable !

Et la description du territoire, des différents peuples, de leurs héritages, des conflits et des enjeux… tout ceci décrit avec tant de précision que ce monde en devient réel.

This world is so cool. The characters feel rooted in it, everything seems legitimate. You must have had so much fun designing the Isles of Glory!
This story was recommended to me by a dear friend who enjoyed it just as much as I did.
The characters are loveable, but realistic, with flaws and qualities that make them so believable and beautiful! I wanted to say that I had a soft spot for Kelwyn and Ruarth, but as I was writing it, all the other characters came in my mind and… I can’t choose a favourite. Even the secondary characters are written with thoroughly. I haven’t finished the second book yet, but I stumbled across this website and couldn’t resist to leave you a little message! I was looking for reference of the characters to draw them, and I was kind of sad to see there is no art of them… so I made it, ahah!
Thanks for delivering such a compelling story.
I love seeing the mindset difference between the people of the Isles and the settlers (they feel so superior it makes me wanna punch them but it’s the way that most scientists used to work when religion was so big…). I love watching Kelwyn scratching his head to understand magic because it does make sense that a land of Awaken won’t believe in magic! Everything makes so much sense it’s so satisfying to read. Everything is so… thought? Thoroughly thought through. I can’t wait for them to kill Morthred (I feel like there’s more to the ending, it won’t be that simple I’m sure, but it better be a good ending)!
I’ll get back to my drawing now, so thanks again for this amazing story!!

I loved this trilogy! I just finished “Tainted” and my Gloria is waiting for it. I like the story complexity and multiple points of view. Reminds me of “Dune” but much more enjoyable characters and action.
Thank you for writing!
Brock

I enjoyed it thru & thru! My wife is waiting for it. The story complexity plus multiple points of view reminded me in some ways of “Dune.” I enjoyed the Glory Isles much more!
Thank you for writing such satisfying to read stories!
