Visually a very beautiful book in terms of the drawings and graphics, with lovely paper quality. On the other hand, I can't comment on the story as I've only flicked through it for now.

A revolutionary and unexpected book idea! Totally innovative! QR codes scattered throughout this work to make you discover, see, listen and more...
Half-graphic novel, half-book, Naaru is an epic tale, full of poetry and which raises questions about real issues such as the influence of AI on our society. I can only recommend it.

Congratulations on this work, I have to
I admit that I had no doubts about the artwork, but I was, on the other hand, very surprised by the narrative. Indeed, the visuals serve the story and the story serves the visuals. It's poetic, the story makes sense, mixing science fiction and dystopia. It is an enjoyable read, read in one sitting upon receipt. I can't wait to discover all the QR codes. A pleasure to look at and to read. If I had to suggest an area for improvement for me, because it is always interesting: in this work the character descriptions are not interesting because the images are there for that, but in order to give more depth, I would have liked more descriptions and details to the story and more emotional feeling regarding what the characters are experiencing. Nevertheless, a work that I recommend. And I will be there for the next volume.

Magnificent finish, the visuals and images are sublime, a very beautiful book. The heroine on the cover reminds me of Rihanna. The “catch” is the packaging; one of the 2 books arrived with slightly damaged edges. A little tip: wrap them in a sheet of kraft paper and tape them before putting them in the envelope to stop them moving around, parcels get treated so roughly. Or use tight bubble wrap to hold the books in place as much as possible.

A slight reservation regarding the layout. Otherwise the story is captivating! As for the illustrations, they are perfect.

I didn't give 5 stars because out of the 2 books one of the corners is damaged, a shame, but very pleased with my purchase 😍 can't wait to read it

A wonderful universe, a poetic story, total immersion. The format is innovative and completely immersive.
I’d recommend 100% and can’t wait to find out what happens next. Thanks to Patrice Murciano for his work.

QR codes add an unexpected touch to the artwork (the first one doesn't work, but the others are operational). The whole thing is colossal and packed with science fiction ideas that are as rich as they are original.
The illustrations, which are of a very high standard, differ from Murciano’s colourful and vibrant style: this is a different artistic approach, just as captivating, which reminds me of the work of an artist called Jean-Pierre Frey.
The cover, made up of several layers of quality print, usefully makes up for its flexibility. However, some pages remain difficult to read when the text gets lost in the binding.
