A Winter's Promise by Christelle Dabos

A Winter's Promise (Mirror Visitor #1) by Christelle Dabos, 492 p.

"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, she has become a pawn in a deadly plot."--Goodreads blurb

This was a re-read for me, as the fourth book in this series was recently translated into English and released. This series has a really interesting world with a steampunk-y feel. Our main character is really coming of age and is having all those pains. The magic in this series is different and cool. Settling into a series is always fun.
