In my humble opinion, the script of this second cycle of the Ballad of the Lost Moors series wasn't as strong as the one for the first cycle, but in compensation it was stronger on two other aspects.
First. the art, which was much better-looking, more gorgeous and exquisite to my taste than in the first cycle. And second: the ending, much more optimally executed, less abrupt and more satisfying if bittersweet and melancholy in tone. Unlike the first cycle, this one doesn't start as strong but it does end strongly. It also does a good job of explaining the background of the storyline in Cycle I, although I'd have wanted the plot to be linear for the whole series, as telling it backwards results in the reader knowing what'll come next, which in turn sort of makes this a bit more predictable. However, despite the predictability factor, Dufaux still managed to surprise me a few times, like with the identity of the Guinea Lord and who the last Sudenne heiress that escapes the massacre of the royal line might truly be.
All in all, a highly recommended Fantasy series for lovers of the genre and of mythology, for this one still keeps a lot of its Celtic flavour from the original cycle.

Este álbum, cierre del ciclo-precuela de la historia dibujada por Rosinski, quedó marcado por la triste muerte de su dibujante, Philippe Delaby, antes de terminarla. Aunque Jéremy hace un trabajo competente supliéndole en la veintena de páginas finales, el relato, que no era gran cosa hasta entonces, se estrella contra el anticlímax al que conduce. De hecho la sucesión de muertes de su desenlace carecen de la fuerza, la presencia, que debieran tener. Quedan como algo anecdótico. Un pequeño bluff.

Dernier tome de la série, et on n'est pas déçu. Très beau et récit très prenant et original.

Ik kan me voorstellen dat Dufaux dit flutverhaaltje in een uurtje of twee neerkrabbelde. Maar die tekeningen... De eerste 34 platen zijn getekend door Delaby. De man zette fantasy op papier die de liefhebbers deed watertanden. Helaas overleed dit grote talent maar Jérémy slaagde erin de rest van de strip af te werken in dezelfde tekenstijl en hij deed dit met verve.
De tweede cyclus stelt qua verhaal nog minder voor dan de eerste maar het tekenwerk tilde deze cyclus naar een hoger niveau.
