Alors que "The Assassin King", le 6eme tome de la Symphonie des Âges, a encore été repoussé, cette fois au 26 décembre prochain, je suis récemment tombé, par hasard, sur une autre sortie d'Elizabeth Haydon, un grand format illustré.
Long ago, in the Second Age of history, a young Nain explorer by the name of Ven Polypheme traveled much of the known and unknown world, recording his adventures. Recently discovered by archaeologists, a few fragments of his original journals are reproduced in this book. Great care has been taken to reconstruct the parts of the journal that did not survive, so that a whole story can be told...Charles Magnus Ven Polypheme--known as Ven--is the youngest son of a long line of famous shipwrights. He dreams not of building ships, but of sailing them to far-off lands where magic thrives. Ven gets his chance when he is chosen to direct the Inspection of his family's latest ship--and sets sail on the journey of a lifetime. Attacked by fire pirates, lost at sea and near death, Ven is rescued by a passing ship on its way to the Island of Serendair. Thankful to be alive, little does Ven know that the pirate attack--and his subsequent rescue--may not have been an accident. Shadowy figures are hunting for the famed Floating Island, the only source of the mystical Water of Life. They think Ven can lead them to this treasure, and will stop at nothing to get it--even murder. In a narrative that alternates entries from his journals and drawings from his sketchbooks, Ven begins the famous chronicles of his exciting and exotic adventures--adventures that would later earn him renown as the author of The Book of All Human Knowledge and All the World's Magic.
Et ça sort ce mois-ci. Et ça n'a visiblement rien à voir avec Rhapsody, vu que c'est une série pour enfants/ados.
Mise à jour à la parution 
La critique de Gillossen
Enfin ce n'est pas construit comme une trilogie en tout cas. Le premier tome est quasiment un stand alone (meme comparé à ce qui se passe dans la première trilogie) et le second reprend quelques éléments... Mais pour le moment c'est beaucoup moins cohérent que les trois premiers volumes.Fin du HS
J'attends moi aussi la critique.
) Mais si c'est rédigé avec la qualité d'écriture de Rhapsody, ça vaut quand même peut-être le coup d'oeil!
