review 1: As the title suggests, in this third volume of the Aya series, almost every major character's romantic secrets are exposed and Aya's friends, family and neighbors must deal with the consequences. With the exception of one couple, most of these trysts and dalliances were already rising to the surface in the first and second volumes, but the full implications and connections between the various characters' relationships don't become clear until this one. I didn't find this book quite as engaging as the first two, in part because the major storylines seem somewhat played out by the time we reach this volume, but the artwork is still gorgeous enough for me not to care too much about weaknesses in the plot and character development.
review 2: what can i say? this se... moreries is excellent. the art is so endearing and refreshing! the stories are hilarious, thought-provoking and realistic. my only thing is that i wish aya's character would evolve a bit more. i want something to happen to and for her. i want her to be changed by her experience. she's always untouched (figuratively and literally). im tempted to buy the last two installments of the series and try my french...but i should probably just wait for the english translations, ha ha.i highly recommend these graphic novels to EVERYONE.it's so nice to see a portrayal of africa that is not focused on disease, war, death, and sadness. not to say that these things do not exist in africa. it's just that africa has many sides, positive and negative. both should get equal "story" time. less
