The Hatcliff Estate is dying, but its inhabitants have one last chance to escape the accelerated march of time: Emilie believes she has found the entrance to the Labyrinth, a passage to other worlds – a whole galaxy, waiting. Meanwhile, Hatcliff goes to plead with the Arcana, the mysterious entity rumoured to reign over the interstellar gates. He wants to put his mistakes right and saves his old friends in the estate. Can he really trust the Arcana, though …?
The one thing I can say about this series is that Magnin has written a series that you will need to read through more than once. Not just that but she has drawn and coloured every single page to perfection for the story; I get somewhat jaded at times and after almost four decades of reviewing that should not come as a surprise to anyone.
The characters are drawn beautifully but then the scenes are just so well drawn that they often had me stopping for a minute or so just to take them all in. From spooky magical forest, to some incredibly drawn architecture and all coloured in ways to add even more atmosphere to the scene/story.
Sitting back and thinking about it I believe that this is one of the best and freshest series Cinebook has published in the last couple of years. I hope we see more from Florence Magnin in the future.
Do I recommend the series? YES. It's only 5 volumes and you can buy from Cinebook direct. This afternoon I may well sit back and start from volume 1 again.
