Laflut's Reviews > Les princes d'Ambre: Cycle 2

Nope, really not a good reading for me, sadly...

I'm not fond of sci-fi, but that's not why I didn't enjoy reading this book, it's the writing style.
I don't want to count the number of time when the reader could have learned something and Merlin (or the other caracters) answers to a question that the reader also wonder, by a "I can't explain you now, I want to check something before" or "I can't explain you now, I don't have time", or just simply "not yet".
It really really ruined the first omnibus book's reading and it didn't go better with this one, really not !

I also feel that every woman Merlin met was one ready for sex story. Not a single one was really special, or rather, everyone of them was special... actually, I don't really have any idea.

I like following Merlin to see how he wanted to manage all by himself, but....seriously, he's the dalaï lama, he can forgive to everyone having a hard past with him. And for this epilogue, seriously, there was none, after reading so long an omnibus ?
We won't know absolutely nothing about all the caracters that evolve around him. Even his father's disappearance who seemed to bother him... well, not quite often, was smashed in a few sentences throughout the book and that's all. I add the feeling that the author told himself : well, I have to write a few sentence, from time to time, to give the reader the sensation that :
- yes, Merlin is preoccupied by his father
- yes, Merlin has some love to share with a woman (or every woman he meets)
- yes, what's about his doubled legacy of his mother and his father side
... well, that didn't really work for me, NOT AT ALL...
