Great start to a new series. A unique genre blend. It has definitely peaked my interest. And kept me engaged with great art work. Look forward to reading more of this series.

With thanks to netgalley and the author

Sadly I didn't download this title in time.

So can't really give a review

This story is as beautiful as the art.

I am looking forward to being immersed more in this world, and seeing more of the beautiful creatures.

(More involved review incoming)

This is a great first volume, I loved the characterisation, the main protagoniste was well written and I definitely grow attached to her. The setting of the story is really interesting and I'm really curious to see where the story is going. The art is absolutely gorgeous. Would definitely highly recommend this graphic novel

A tale of survival and bloodshed, and rival clans and unchanging cycles. 'The Lost Ages' is a graphic novel that tells a post-apocalyptic story about how the world fell in 999, and how humans are a few thousand years later. They need to relearn and to rebuild everything that was lost. But there are some of them that are not willing to change their way of life.

A powerful, brave female warrior is the main character of this story: Elaine. She loves her people, protects them in the best way she can and to the end. She is loyal and brave; and she is, for sure, such an emotional, human character.

It is a short, quick-reading, and it is highly recommended for those who loves adventure and action-packed books. There are so different scenes, in which we can even touch with our fingertips the ambience that the characters are breathing in that moment: sadness, emptiness, hope, faith, love, loyalty. There are heart-breaking scenes that shattered my heart in thousand pieces.

Humanity's knowledge was lost and forgotten after the apocalypse, but - does exist a way of taking everything back? Is there a way of rebuilding everything that was lost to memory?

I highly recommend you this book! I loved it!

This graphic novel tells us about an alternative history. At the turn of the first millennium, an apocalypse happens and the world enters a dark age. Only after a very long time, humans surface again. But it is a very different world: humans live in clans and they need to move regularly to stay alive.
The story and characters are original and engaging (though gloomy), and the artwork is impressive. I read it in one sitting and I wonder how this story will continue.

I hope there's a sequel soon!

This is an interesting take on apocalyptic fiction. In the first few pages we learn that the apocalypse occurred in the Middle Ages and humanity hunkered down to wait it out. The real story begins centuries later, where all pre-apocalyptic knowledge has been lost and people live as nomadic hunters.

I was quickly engrossed by the story, and really liked the art. I'm looking forward to volume two.

Received via NetGalley.

The Lost Ages was an unexpected surprise that I enjoyed immensely. From page one, as a reader, you are thrust into a world that is face paced and takes all that isn't protected.

While the action is quick and in your face, the story takes time to develop and build an emotional bond with the characters in play. But once it starts happening, I was there for it.

This is one of the best stories I've read in awhile. While it's on the short side, about 60 pages, it covered everything. World creation, fragility of that world and the people in it.

The artwork and details... from facial expressions to making sure each tribe and region was unique.. was stunning.

My only real negatives.. how short the story was, because I absolutely want more.
Also, the explanation of the "rotation" of tribes and land was a little difficult to follow, but I feel that's the point. It's complicated nonsense, which is the entire reason it should change, and I feel this explanation was a motivator, to get the reader behind the epic quest ahead and why it's important.

The art of this book was stunning and far and away the stand out. I spent a lot more time pouring over the illustrations than I usually do, and I cannot wait for more in this series.

Incredibly intriguing.

Set long after the end of the world as we know in, life has begun to reform. Giving very much 10,000 BC vibes, we follow our protagonist and her clan in a desperate struggle to save themselves and change the world as they know it.

I loved this, it is definitely more mature in terms of violence- but it's a very satisfying read and wholley unlike any other Graphic Novel I have read.

The Lost Ages 1. The Fort on the Moors puts us with humanity that is plunged into The Lost Ages. In the year 1000 the world ended with an apocalypse that changed everything. So much death, starvation, fire and hell. We are seeing the humanity trying to be rekindled and people live in clans once again and fighting one another. The place is Anglia and the search for knowledge almost destroys a clan and now the survivors need to continue and find answers. I really liked the setting and it made me hate clans and the system even more than I already do and the system still exists in our world. The hierarchy, following elders and whatnot. It's still too early to see what will happen, but the journey structure feels great and how realistic this is.

The art looks wonderful and fits well with the story. We get to see the world a lot and what a nasty and beautiful place it is both at the same time. The panorama panels highlight the comic so amazingly well. This first volume still feels a little too much like running, perhaps I would've liked to know about the past and everything more. Hopefully that'll happen in the following volumes though. Interesting read surely!

Art: I loved the art and the colours for this graphic novel.

Plot: Pretty good but not super original. The world goes through a near-extinction event via, comments around 1000 years C.E. and civilization is completely destroyed. Fast-forward a few thousand years and the planet is a much different harsher environment where humanity struggles to survive.

Characters: I liked them but I wish I got to know them better, especially the leading lady, Elaine. She had some great kick-ass moments at the beginning but you didn’t really get to know her and the other characters she travels with. There was very little dialogue for the last quarter of the story, just voice over’s from Elaine, wording building, which was okay but I wanted to get to know her and her companions better.

Page Turner: Sort of. I wanted to know more so I kept reading but I wasn’t flying through the pages.

Read More: Yes, I’d defiantly want to read the next instalment.

Special thank you to NetGalley and Europe Comics for sharing this digital copy in exchange for my honest thoughts.

The story follows a post apocalyptic age where humans have to relearn about survival. They are living as separate clans where they share areas according to the season. These humans are living a cyclic nomadic lives and barely existing.
Elaine's father tries to break the cycle by trying to cultivate wheat and proposing to settle in one place. the idea doesn't work and two clans end up decimated. Now Elaine is on the run to find lost knowledge that can save humanity.

Book 1 has certainly intrigued me enough to look forward to the rest of the series.

Thank you Netgalley and Europe Comics are giving me the opportunity to read this.

I was given a digital copy for review through NetGalley.

The first installment to this graphic novel series follows a daughter of the Moor clan leader. She is a warrior trying to return the world to normal after the apocalypse in the year 999.

This was a good first installment. I liked the art style and the overal beginning of this story. I would have preferred to get to know the characters a little more before being thrown into fighting scenes. With barely any explanation of the world or story, this was a little confusing. A written introduction before the graphic story would have been a great addition.

Thanks to Netgalley for a digital copy in exchange for an honest review :)

"In the year 1000, the foretold apocalypse comes to pass, and humanity enters an age of darkness. Countless generations come and go before the sun reemerges; all of humanity's once great knowledge is lost. Now, at the mercy of roaming packs of animals, the inhabitants of Anglia have formed clans that work together in a delicate balance to survive the harsh wilderness. This is an interesting premise and it follows some of my favorite tropes. It was compelling to read the first part of the book."

The book is so short but is so FULL of story! I really loved a lot this graphic novel , even if the start is a little slow. After the apocalypse we see a "new" wild world, it follows Primus one of the clan leaders who has the secret for a better future for her family, Elaine.

It's so fast to read and the action is in every turn of pages. The artstyle is really great for this kind of stories and the creatures there are like those prehistoric animals: big, furious, bloodthirsty and ready to kill at first sight. We get to know the characters a little but at least Elaine is an interesting one, and makes me want to find out more about them all.

The ending is really amazing, just to keep reading the next books.

The art in The Lost Ages is beautiful, and I enjoyed the world building with the flayers, tribes and different forts.

However, I was a little confused on the premise—why didn’t the group question Primus while he was leading them to the Fort on the Moor? I would have thought that the others would have recognized the route to the Fort, especially if arriving at the beginning of the cold season was punishable by death. Other than those questions, I really enjoyed The Lost Ages.

2/5 Beautiful art but eh story.

Felt like I was jumping in halfway through the book but the book was only about 60 pages so I just finished it. I thought the art was beautiful but I didn't care much for the story but I know some will really like this.

A warning though for those of you who don't like religion there are mentions of the Christian/Catholic religion and God.

Dnf about 20%
Just not my style of book hard to read personally
But great and elusive story and world building
