Status Updates From Le Melkine - L'intégrale

Book 2: started good, even better than the 1st. Takes place 15 years later (you must have read the 1st volume), again focus on our students (now adults). Ismaël is a "Fréquence" (or head of one, like an emperor). Still, some uneven bits, gaps for the reader to fill in. Characters still indistinguishable, no proper personality (to me). Again, not consistent enough to "fully" enjoy the story. 240 pages to go for V2.

First book, Le Melkine, done. 3/5 maximum, only for the setting, ideas, the politics, and pretty accessible writing style. Characters not distinguished enough, serve only to further the story, a lot of background missing to have a proper image of them.
