Writing (translation): ⭐️⭐️
A dark, twisted take on the 'imprisoned princess' trope, this story follows a disgraced knight coming across a princess in a tower, harbouring mysterious, deadly powers. This was a very quick read, and I really enjoyed the story and artwork. However, the writing left a lot to be desired and offered exposition in what felt a rushed and sloppy way- or, at least, one that was too direct for my taste. Truly a shame, as the art and drawings were absolutely gorgeous. This may well have been an issue of translation though, so if you're interested in reading this and know French, I would recommend trying in the original language.
