Felt

built in three parts, this novel tells us the first loves of three Albanian girls, stuck at the airport to get to the wedding of their mutual friend.

Firstly, it is evident in an unknown environment, that of Albania, where women have less freedom, and in a communist country. The first of three daughters was married and has one son. She falls in love with a man who will never marry her, impure woman, since no longer a virgin. His story is quite sad, even if at the end, this game is full of surprises, and the opportunity to learn more about the context.

Other parties are also interesting, particularly the second is full of humor, and it ultimately joyful novel, which reads easily and handles a few of the countries of eastern and culture.

Felt

warned that it may have spoilers. The first volume is interesting, reads quickly, and we quickly get into his nets by giving us wanting to know more about Izaïn the famous parchment. The particular side of ship-living me personally somewhat reminds vessels of Ticket the sea, Robin Hobb, but the concept is quite different with the case of pockets, although intriguing for me ^ ^

What I liked in this first volume is also another plot developed, which can not be centered on Izaïn is gradually discovers a whole world.

shamefully confess having read the last two volumes long after the first, but fortunately a short summary was provided at the beginning of Volume 2, helping to recover everything in place. Things accelerated in this second volume, which reads just as fast as the first was a little more action, and especially we learn more about these stories a bit between political pirates, who have much. We also discover little by little trace technology, which can not intrigued by the reader.

The third and final volume is less fluid than others, and more rich in revelations, as we will finally know everything, or almost. It was difficult for me to expect such an end and as many surprises, and this is my faith nice ... A trilogy finally over I would not regret!
