The characteristic of Troy's world is to give each being a magical power, whatever it is, big or small, sometimes somewhat incongruous. In a functioning close to role-playing, the characters move according to this power and advance the action with a very successful sense of psychology. Lanfeust the flea is flanked by two luscious creatures. One heals wounds at dusk, she is his bride; the other turns into ice whatever she wants, if she wants to. She especially freezes Lanfeust with her fiery temperament. In between, the ingenuous swings and the end of the cycle will see him access the supreme quest, if not ultimate: the discovery of love.

In the meantime, the reader will have discovered Hébus, a loud-mouthed and loud-mouthed Troll who transforms an army into chicken drumsticks, punctuating with Brussels swear words a carnage perpetrated with carnivorous joy; Thanos, the evil double of Lanfeust who is himself able to access absolute power and is capable, for such is his power, of going at will from one point to another in the known universe; the brave knight Or-Azur whose good blood does not lie; Finally, Master Nicolède, a debonair sage, incidentally father of the two sighs of the title hero...

Finally, with its familiar characters very well typed, there is Asterix in this unique and funny heroic-fantasy saga. It is not impossible that, given the turn that the series takes, Lanfeust takes the place of the Gaul with the generations of tomorrow. -
