brindille by frederic brremaud

4/5

this graphic novel was absolutely STUNNING! the art was absolutely brilliant to look at, and i wish i had a copy to just hold in my hands and flip through. there were so many pages and spreads where i spent a long time looking at all the beautifully rendered details in each page. the story is fast-paced and pretty tight, with sparse dialogue. i think that while there was a good deal of character development even with the little dialogue there was. i do wish there was a little more foreshadowing and that the antagonists were a little more well-defined, but i also know that means the story would have to be expanded to be much longer than it currently is. in its current form—very sparse in text and art heavy—i think this is a very beautiful book!
