Fun but a bit slow. It was really good at establishing the characters though!

It was really short, so I don’t have much to say, but it was a cute introduction and i’m excited to continue the series

I'm giving this three stars because it's very short, just an introduction.
That said, the art is beautiful and I'm very excited to see how the story will develop!

Eh, it's okay. I didn't really get a feel for whether this is going to be for me, but I was also a bit bored. I can tell that there is an epic rivalry being set up, and there is also the rich kid / poor kid thing that I absolutely loathe reading. I'll see if I can get my hands on the next in the series, but I'm not going to make a lot of effort.

"Fence 1" ist ein kurzes Vergnügen (weil eine rund 100-seitige Graphic Novel nun mal nicht viel Lesestoff bietet), dafür ist der Preis schon recht gesalzen. Aber Band 1 macht definitiv Lust auf mehr!

Nicholas, der von einer Karriere als Profifechter träumt, ist der typische Underdog. Während seine Kontrahenten jahrelanges professionelles Training genossen haben, um an ihrer Technik zu feilen, musste er sich mit eiserner Entschlossenheit hochkämpfen umd auf sein Talent und seine Instinkte vertrauen. 

Hier in Band 1 erhält Nicholas ein Stipendium für die renommierte Kings-Row-Privatschule. Freundschaften - und Rivalitäten - entstehen, während alle um die drei begehrten Plätze im Fechtteam kämpfen. Davon abgesehen passiert noch nicht viel. Von der Romanze, die die Reihe verspricht, ist noch nichts zu merken. Kaum hat die Story begonnen, ist Band 1 gefühlt auch schon wieder vorbei. 

Aber die Graphic Novel macht auf jeden Fall Spaß - selbst wenn man, wie ich, bisher absolut nix mit Fechten am Hut hatte. Der Zeichenstil ist sehr lebendig. Nur fand ich teilweise die Übergänge etwas abrupt - ich habs am ebook gelesen und mehrmals zurück-"geblättert", weil ich dachte, ich hätte eine Seite übersprungen.
