Brindille Review

Brindille by Frederic Brremaud (author) and Federico Bertolucci (artist)

A young girl runs from a fire, loses consciousness and wakes up with no idea who she is.  She must face the forest and her fears to figure out who she is.


The illustrations are beautiful.  They are lush, detailed and expressive.  And the little creatures that rescue the girl are adorable.  But the story is all over the place.  A lot of it felt very random.  And I don't know how all the characters fit together.  There were all these people who knew about her somehow, some trying to help, some trying to hinder, and I never knew why.  Even at the end where everything was supposed to be explained I was still confused about most of it.  It seems like the story could have been very interesting if a few more things were explained.  As it is, I feel Brindille is more enjoyable for it's art than it's story.
