Alas by Rudy Spiessert, Hervé Bourhis

Another story with animals instead of humans as characters. This can be a good thing but if it doesn’t bring anything to the story, if that is just a switch for a switch, it may not always be such a good thing. Anyway, here it has a purpose and it present animals that use human as animal, like we do with them mostly and that was a really cool concept, maybe not the most original, but a good idea. The problem is that, beyond a cool concept, the story was not interesting for me and the illustrations were good, but a bit too classical in their style for my liking. So a intriguing premise, but an execution that fell short. Too bad!
