A review by leaafle
Brindille by Frédéric Brrémaud
4.0
This books artwork is absolutely beautiful and made the story so much more compelling. Different shades and use if different colours within scenes influenced my emotions while I was reading. The green when we’re first introduced to the world creates a sense of calm and further calms the reader after more intense scenes. The reds and oranges used during more tension-filled scenes helped to feel more energised and also made the scenes feel more intense.
I really liked the plot and felt there was a good balance between action, characters and world building. There were parts of the plot that I wish were addressed more, such as the village during the beginning or some of the higher intensity scenes. By brushing past some of those scenes more quickly, it lost some of its effect on the readers.
I also wish that the characters were fleshed out more. I know that this isn’t a novel and so we couldn’t get the detail that those books normally provide, however I feel like there were some moments that could have been used to get to know the characters more and also get us to care more about these characters but instead the story moved forward.
Overall, I really liked this book but I think that it did have some areas of it that could have been fleshed out more to create a larger effect on the readers.
