Synopsis

Plain-spoken, headstrong Ophelia cares little about appearances. Her ability to read the past of objects is unmatched in all of Anima, and, what’s more, she possesses the ability to travel through mirrors, a skill passed down to her from previous generations. Her idyllic life is disrupted, however, when she is promised in marriage to Thorn, a taciturn and influential member of a distant clan. She must leave all she knows behind and follow her fiancé to Citaceleste, the capital of a cold, icy ark known as the Pole, where danger lurks around every corner and nobody can be trusted. There, in the presence of her inscrutable future husband, she slowly realizes that she is a pawn in a political game that will have far-reaching ramifications not only for her but for her entire world.

Avrei preferito meno starnuti da parte della protagonista ma per il resto lavoro encomiabile.

Goodreads review by Kylie

A novel that takes place in a world so similar, yet different, to our own. God has gotten angry and smashed the world into little pieces. It sees Ophelia travel to a distant ark, as these fragments of the world are now called, for an arranged marriage to Thorn, the Pole ark's treasurer. Ophelia has......more

Goodreads review by Tiffany

Potenzialmente il libro della vita ma dobbiamo fare i conti con qualche caduta di stile che rovina una lettura così piacevole. Soffre tanto della presenza di cliché, una caratterizzazione dei personaggi molto povera, un tentativo di shipping forse tra i peggiori del genere e un finale abbastanza terr......more
