Ophelia & Thorn became much more lovable in this book or they are least really seemed to grow on me by the end. I actually liked this book better than the first and it makes me a bit more excited to read the rest of the series. ( ) Book 2 in the Mirror Visitor Quartet. When Ophelia is finally taken to be introduced to Farouk, the ancestral spirit of her fiance Thorn's home of Pole, Farouk awards her the title of Vice Storyteller, a position she decidedly does not want -- but she has no choice but to accept. The position also has the effect of putting her and her gift of reading the memories of objects front and center of the court at Citaceleste, the floating city where Farouk makes his home. As she struggles to perform her Vice Storyteller duties, Ophelia begins receiving anonymous threatening letters, and she suspects they may be related the the disappearances of various courtiers of Citaceleste. Unsure who to trust, Ophelia isn't sure where to turn. Thorn has never been helpful -- but is he reliable? And why does Farouk want Thorn to read his ancestral spirit book? Apologies if the above summary makes zero sense. These books are complex and part of the fun of them is deciphering the strange world of Pole along with Ophelia, but that also means that 2 books in, you are DEEP in the world. I think some things are becoming clearer at the end of book 2 and I'm looking forward to book 3! These have a peculiar writing style that draws you in but also keeps you almost at a slight distance -- perhaps to enhance the foreignness Ophelia feels being at Pole. 4.5 stars. When I tell you I was tensed the entire time I was reading this. I never had a second of freedom from just pain and fear. I just want to have my favorites be happy. The roller coaster of emotions I went through in the last few chapters I can't. Also, the plot twist is my feelings for Archibald! I fully remember hating him so much. But now if anything happens to him I will burn the book. Also Thorn!! I will slap him and then kiss him. I can't wait to read the next book. no reviews | add a review
When our heroine Ophelia is promoted to Vice-storyteller by Farouk, the ancestral Spirit of Pole, she finds herself unexpectedly thrust into the public spotlight and her special gift is revealed to all. She knows how to read the secret history of objects, and there could be no greater threat to the nefarious denizens of her icy adopted home than this. Beneath the golden rafters of Pole's capital, Citaceleste, she discovers that the only person she may be able to trust is Thorn, her enigmatic fiancé. As one after another influential courtier disappears, Ophelia again finds herself unintentionally implicated in an investigation that will lead her to see beyond Pole's many illusions to the heart of the formidable trut No library descriptions found. |
