La Nouvelle

Les graphismes sont superbes, les personnages adorables et attachants et l'histoire prenante. J'ai hâte d'en apprendre plus sur Elle et ses personnalités dans les prochains tomes.

A graphic novel about a high school girl, Elle, who has DID Dissociative Identity Disorder. Her alters manifest when she is stressed or angry, or too shocked to process information or emotions. The first tome is good, but the art is better than the writing. I wish they didn't make Linotte such an absent-minded person, who confuses “Saturday and Sandwich”. Let's have all female characters strong for once, especially as she is blond. The cast is quite diverse, but could be even more inclusive and diverse. Like, both the main character and the love interest are white. And people of colors are secondary characters... I will read tome 2. I don't know if I like the images of the alters being trapped and chained, nor the weird feeling of a white explorer when set in different parts of the world. Could have improved on that. The artist is very good at capturing human expressions and body language.

Thank you NetGalley and Le Lombard for providing me with a free digital copy of this book in exchange for my honest opinion.
