Volle, by Kyell Gold

Volle
By Kyell Gold

When it comes to James Bond of the fictional 17th century, you probably can't come closer to Volle of Vinton.

Summary:

Volle is a book about an anthromorphic fox from the country Tephosia sent by his king to spy on an neighboring enemy country, Divaila. During his time there, Volle lives out the usual daily life of a Lord at the palace, collecting information on a potential war from his fellow highers at the castle.

Volle is a book not dissimilar from the more popular Harry Potter series, plotwise. The story follows the protagonist and his daily life for roughly one year, before bringing up the explosive climax and settling down for the last few chapters.

Review:

Volle is a book of many subjects, and the trademarked charm of James Bond is certainly present. There are a few scenes that could have labled the book as an adult romance, but most of the more suggestive moments are assuaged by similes covering up the mood the author could have possibly intended.

But Volle is certainly not a book I would recommend to the average teenage mind. It takes place in Ye Olde Country and its progression through time is relatively slow, which doesn't make the best of the subject of the book. It was an enjoyable read, but I preferred the James Bond books over it.
