Invités forcés des Chiridans, des êtres mystérieux morts depuis des siècles à la recherche de corps à posséder, les Légendaires ne tardent pas à découvrir qu'ils retiennent un prisonnier spécial, un dieu nommé Eternity. Tandis que ses amis servent d'hôtes à des esprits, Gryf devra choisir vers qui son coeur penche : Shimy ou Shun-Day...
I thought the last one was cryptic with all the connections. If you were lost with the last one, this one is barely easier to understand. Near death experiences, ignorance, self-destructive behavior... this comic has everything and much more then you would think. Amy isn't an enemy and stuck. No one knows anything about the new God but lets be a host for him??? A lot of people are used, hurt, dying or dead while this comic ends. It is a massacre. If I hadn't read the last two comics, nothing is really changed... It is not that it is bad but it seems to me that it is filler. We technically could have done without. Still beautiful characters, new personae, nice artwork...
Encore un excellent tome. J'aime m'amuser à repérer les petits clins d'oeil caché dans les tomes (référence à d'autres oeuvres). Comme j'ai tous les tomes sortis, je me suis fait un marathon du reste. Cette BD, je ne peux que vous la conseiller, mais vraiment. FONCEZ !
Plein des choses arrivent dans ce tome, et les événements du passé réapparaissent aussi. Les événements nouveaux et celles qui ont eu leur début dans le passé sont toujours mélangés, mais les liens entre le passé et le présent me semblent plus fort dans ce tome. Même si quelques liens sont assez surprenants, comme la révélation de la mère de Shun-Day – vraiment, ces sorcières doivent arrêter de faire quoi que ce soit avec les gênes des autres ! (Cette fois-ci c’est bien passé à la fin, mais la prochaine fois, qui sait ?)
Il y a au moins trois grandes surprises révélées dans ce tome, et chaque surprise change la direction de l’histoire un peu. Bien sûr je ne vais pas vous gâcher la surprise ! Cependant, ces changements ne guident pas l’histoire vers des directions complètement neufs, mais peu à peu je trouve que tous les liens, toutes les histoires incomplètes, commencent à se réunir pour conduire l’histoire vers sa fin dans deux tomes. Mais de quelle nature serait cette fin, je n’ai la moindre idée. Il faut lire la suite, et toute de suite !
(En plus, je me sens mieux avec les révélations à propos des rapports entre Gryf, Shimy, et Shun-Day – je me sens soulagée que les choses ne fussent pas tout à fait comme on pensait qu’elles sont après avoir lu le 15e tome !)
Many things happen in this book, and past events come up again as well. The new events and those which started before are still mixed up, but the links between past and present seem stronger in this book to me. Even if some of the connections are rather surprising, as in the revelation of Shun-Day’s maternity – really, these sorcerers have to stop doing whatever with other people’s genes! (This time it all worked out in the end, but next time, who knows?)
There are also at least three big surprises revealed in this book, and each surprise changes the direction of the story a little. But of course I won’t spoil the surprise! However, these changes do not guide the story into completely new directions, but little by little, I find that all these connections, all these incomplete stories, are beginning to come together to bring the story towards its end in two books. But what sort of ending this will be, I haven’t the foggiest idea! I’ll just have to read the next book, and right away!
(What’s more, I feel much better about the revelations regarding the relationship between Gryf, Shimy, and Shun-Day – I’m relieved that things were not exactly as they seemed they were after reading the 15th book!)
*Note: This review covers both books number 15 and 16, as the story in this series progresses in 2 book increments.*
An awesome addition to the Legendaire saga, 'Amour Mortel' and 'L'Eternite Ne Dure Qu'un Temps' bring to light not only what happened to Gryf during his missing 2 years of 'training', but also finally moves forward with the love story (triangle) that ties him to Shimy; as well as proving that the deities in this universe are far from infallible. While continuing to build the mystical world of 'Les Legendaires', and fleshing out so many of the details that make his storytelling as engaging as it is, Sobral also seems to now be steadily building towards a final climactic showdown/endgame that not only builds anticipation, but also gives the series a much stronger focus to follow through on. That, and the continued proliferation of his sardonic sense of humor, means that this series is quickly becoming a particular joy for me to read. The 2-book format of the narrative also seems to have solidified itself a little more with this entry, with the first book in the duo being dedicated more to set-up and the second more to action - a formula that allows more space for both these goals to breath, and therefore also functions to enrich the story (a lot less clutter and a lot more follow-through in my opinion). Happily, still a recommend for me.
