I enjoyed this book, a real page turner. Although I hadn't read Vol 1 I had no problem reading it as a `stand alone' novel. It began slowly introducing the characters, building up momentum as the story unfolded, ending at breakneck speed with `une grande finale'. The futuristic and fantasy element was incorporated at the same pace in tandem - nice touch. The characters were very interesting and well rounded, I could easily believe they had a past. Perfect for a movie adaptation. I shall be on the lookout for other volumes in the quartet.
