Le style de ce deuxième volume est plus supportable que celui du premier, quoique j’aie quand même eu des problèmes de ponctuation et d’espaces. C’est une sorte de Rashōmon : on redécouvre la même histoire que le précédent volume, depuis le point de vue de Benvenuto, le héros de Gagner la Guerre. Comme le narrateur est différent, le style est différent. Pas plus mal, mais au final je reste un peu sur ma faim—trop peu de choses sont racontées qui font avancer l’intrigue. Tout la complique en revanche, c’est intéressant mais… je veux aller plus loin :)
Bref, on verra l’an prochain pour la suite, j’imagine ?
