"Long ago, following a
cataclysm called “The Rupture,” the world was shattered into many
floating celestial islands. Known now as Arks, each has developed in
distinct ways; each seems to possess its own unique relationship to
time, such that nowadays vastly different worlds exist, together but
apart. And over all of the Arks the spirit of an omnipotent ancestor
abides.
Ophelia lives on Anima, an ark where objects have souls.
Beneath her worn scarf and thick glasses, the young girl hides the
ability to read and communicate with the souls of objects, and the power
to travel through mirrors. Her peaceful existence on the Ark of Anima
is disrupted when she is promised in marriage to Thorn, from the
powerful Dragon clan. Ophelia must leave her family and follow her
fiancée to the floating capital on the distant Ark of the Pole. Why has
she been chosen? Why must she hide her true identity? Though she doesn’t
know it yet,a she has become a pawn in a deadly plot."--Amazon blurb
This first book in this series introduces a very unique storyline. The world is interesting and the characters intriguing. That said, most of the characters are very unlikeable. Despite this, the story is good enough and well-written enough to have me hooked. Looking forward to the second installment in this series.
