Qui es digne a dir front meu que les novel·les medievals són avorrides es veurà travessat per la meua espasa. Aquesta història, malgrat que hi manquen algunes parts (és normal, l'obra té aproximadament 900 anys i només en tenim un manuscrit) és increïblement divertida, et manté constantment passant de full esperant veure què s'hi passa amb els nostres personatges. En Guillem i l na Flamenca ténen un muntó de sentit de l'humor, tot i ser figures amb què en teoria no tinc res en comú; però ara que ho pense, potser jo també em disfressaria de monjo per flirtejar amb aquella que estime si així m'ho diu un somni. 
Totalment recomanable. Encara no he acabat amb la versió occitana, però a poquet a poquet.

I'd been meaning to read Terry Pratchett's books for a while; while not painfully funny as some of his other work as been described, I definitely enjoyed the wit and smart jokes, as well as the still very sensible way in which he approaches his overall points in the book. I don't know, this was pretty great, can't wait to dive deeper into his books

Beautiful. Just beautiful art, character designs, engaging story seeds that feel like they'll pay off as the story develops. I'm quite interested and intrigued, can't wait where this goes next.

Also I love fantasy and have been reading such serious and real-world stuff recently, loving it.

Good grief, everyone in this book is such a horrible soul. I'll need to reflect upon it more, because it was a fantastic read and a very dark one at that, and I should like to read what others have thought about it.

The whole story on the last two issues is yet to hook me in fully, but I just love Emma Frost
