The Storm of Echoes (Mirror Visitor #4) by Christelle Dabos, 528 p.

"The distrust between them has been overcome and now Ophelia and Thorn love each other passionately. However, they must keep their love hidden. Only in this way can they continue their journeys toward an understanding of the indecipherable code of God and the truth behind the mysterious figure of the Other, whose devastating power continues to bring down entire pieces of arks, plunging thousands of innocents into the void.

Ophelia and Thorn arrive at the observatory of the Deviations, an institute shrouded in absolute secrecy and overseen by a sect of mystical scientists who secretly conduct terrifying experiments. There, Ophelia and Thorn hope to discover truths that will halt the destruction and death and bring the world back into balance."--Goodreads blurb

I'm gonna be honest, I just finished this book and I'm not sure I could tell you what happened or how this 4-book arc concluded. This was a lot. I know I was enjoying it alright as I was ingesting it, but nothing stuck. This series was interesting and worth the read.

 

The memory of Babel by Christelle Dabos

The memory of Babel (Mirror Visitor #3) by Christelle Dabos, 508 p.

"After two years and seven months biding her time on Anima, her home ark, it is finally time to act, to put what she has discovered in the Book of Faruk to good use. Under an assumed identity she travels to Babel, a cosmopolitan and thoroughly modern ark that is the jewel of the universe, and where automata have taken over the most humble jobs from humans. But under the surface of this pacific and orderly ark social unrest stirs, fed by the memories of a fateful purge long ago, and the inhabitants’ growing fear of being replaced altogether. Will Ophelia’s talent as a reader suffice to avoid her being lured into a deadly trap by her ever more fearful adversaries? Will she ever see Thorn, her betrothed, again? "--Goodreads blurb

I liked this one a better than the third in the series, as it wasn't so off the rails. The main characters are just as tortured as the previous books, but the story unfolds a lot and as the end of this series nears, we really start to see the big picture. 
 

The Missing of Clairdelune by Christelle Dabos

The Missing of Clairdelune (Mirror Visitor #2) by Christelle Dabos, 540 p.

"When Ophelia is promoted to Vice-storyteller by Farouk, the ancestral Spirit of Pole, she finds herself unexpectedly thrust into the public spotlight. her gift―the ability to read the secret history of objects―is now known by all, and there can be no greater threat to the nefarious denizens of her icy adopted home than this.

Beneath the golden rafters of Pole's capitol, she discovers that the only person she may be able to trust is Thorn, her enigmatic and emotionally distant fiancé. As one influential courtier after another 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 a formidable truth."--Goodreads blurb

This story was a bit convoluted and crazy. While Ophelia is very likeable, Thorn is very unlikeable, yet there's just something about him that makes you want to come back to hear why he is the way he is...and he's a jerk. New characters and character development is great in this story. 

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.

"--Amazon blurb

This second installment of the series is just as good and just as frustrating as the first. The storyline is unique and interesting enough to keep me wanting to continue, but these characters are so unlikeable! So much of the plot would just be gone if they would just talk to each other. But then we'd only have a book that was 80 pages long. Regardless, I will be continuing this series.

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.
