In my opinion, this third in the Chronicles trilogy is the worst of them because it centres on Denser and Erienne and I like them the least. However, that doesn't detract from Barclay's taut pacing and action.
la banda, sciolta ormai da 5 anni, si riunisce x salvare la figlia della coppia di maghi. Fallisce ma nel farlo... salva il mondo
Non qu'Ombremage soit un échec, mais le souffle d'Aubemort retombe peu à peu et on finit par s'habituer aux Ravens.
Comme pour les deux premiers tomes, il s'agit toujours à nos mercenaires de sauver le monde.
Aubemort avait été épique et rentre-dedans, Noirzénith tentait (avec plus ou moins de succès) de donner de la profondeur à l'univers et de théoriser la magie et la mécanique des plans dimensionnels. Quant à Ombremage ? Pas grand chose à se mettre sous la dent.
Finissons sur une note positive : les scènes d'action sont toujours aussi trépidantes, les héros attachants, l'humour est au moins aussi présent que pour les tomes 1 et 2, et les aventures des Ravens restent ébouriffantes.
Un bon divertissement au final.
