Description

Book III in the Mirror Visitor Quartet
Ophelia has been moping around on the Arc of Anima for two years and seven months. Today, she must act, use what she learned reading Farouk’s Book and the bits of information that God shared with her. Under a false identity, Ophelia returns to Babel, the cosmopolitan ark and gem of modernity. Will her talents as a reader suffice to help her evade the traps set for her by ever more formidable adversaries? Will she have even the slightest chance of finding Thorn again?
In this vibrant third novel, Christelle Dabos explores the marvelous city of Babel. At its heart is an elusive secret, which is at once a key to the past and to an uncertain future.

4.5 Stars
This book is an amazing continuation to a series that is nothing like any YA book series on the shelves today. Ophelia is the type of character I love to read about: great at some things, terrible at others, brave at times, cowardly at times, brilliant at times, and frustrating at other times. I could read about her all day. And her relationship with Thorn is just so real it's beautiful.
I also love how much French is left in this translation. And I don't understand a single bit of French, but it made the story feel more real and hopefully a more accurate translation.
I agree with some of the comments that I would have liked to see more of the characters from books 1 and 2, but I'm hopeful we will see more of everyone in the final book, and hopefully we will get a date soon?!
Thank you very much to netgalley and the publisher for the early copy. I've already raved about it to my customers.
