Beautiful, unintelligible illustrations. Like I said for the first one, God forbid you are colorblind. I don't know what they were thinking with the color scheme. The action is so hard to read. And the font they picked for dialogue is like chicken scratch.
There's not much to the story in this one, either. A lot more fight scenes and some back and forth that was hard to follow. Basically there's a revolt and a couple of armies join forces to take down the other guy and then the good guys win. That's basically what happens across 2 volumes. Bleh.

The Good: The story moved quickly and I read this in the morning. Satisfying ending. Beautiful art.
The Middle: Perfectly fine story. While the art was beautiful, it wasn't quite my style. A little too pinched-looking, if that makes sense. Sometimes the action was unclear to me, as well as what certain (seemingly important) objects were. The first book took place over weeks or months and was a sprawling story. This was a week long, at most, but probably closer to just a few days.
The Bad: Big time jump from the last one, which would have been fine if they hadn't skipped over some interesting and/or vital stuff. I don't need the author to hold my hand but a little more connective tissue would have been appreciated. And I wouldn't have minded some more character moments besides the sisters.

Un tome dont je ne sais pas vraiment quoi penser. Le premier m'avait semblé pleins de poésie, celui-ci n'en avait pas. Le premier faisait vibrer de plaisir par la magie de ses graphismes et de ses couleurs, celui-ci m'a laissée de marbre. Sont-ce mes goûts et moi qui avont changé ou bien la qualité de cette série, je l'ignore ; toujours est-il que je ne me vois pas mettre plus de trois étoiles.

Just like Book 1, Book 2 of the Golden Age was filled with beautiful art rendered in an utterly unique style. The use of color to denote movement, mood, and scene draws you into the world.
I got the impression that this was the end of the Golden Age, which would be a shame because it really started picking up. I found Book 1 to be less clear than I would have liked, but Book 2 really had me engaged and I think there are some incredible stories that could unfold if the series would continue.
