I knew once Archibald showed up and joked about taking advantage of Ophelia things weren't going to be good. I should've called it quits right then.

Peu importe la manière dont on nous le présente, la naïveté d'Ophélie, si agaçante en soi pour la bonne marche de l'histoire, se fait également l'alliée d'une représentation de la société complètement obsolète et, pour moi, dangereuse :As a French citizen, I find stereotypes about French people rather annoying so maybe let's not, I don't know, jump at the chance to prove them right? I mean, congrats! I have never gotten more insulting comments and threatening private messages than on this/because of this review. It's like you want people to think that French don't know how to deal with criticism, honestly? Sabri_nao Fandoms: La Passe-Miroir | The Mirror Visitor - Christelle Dabos, Pride and Prejudice - Jane Austen, Pride and Prejudice (2005) Sulla rappresentazione femminile all'interno del libro potrei cominciare una guerra, sinceramente mi ha delusa tantissimo questo aspetto. I doppi standard si ripresentano continuamente.

The author has created such a unique and expansive world for her characters. I absolutely loved reading about the scenery and what on earth she was going to get herself into next! It had so many twists and turns! I found getting through this book extremely easy, completing it in just three sittings. I come to appreciate Ophelia's godmother as much as she does, when she continually is outraged for her nieces sake! Ricordava con particolare minuzia, nemmeno fosse stata lei stessa una Storiografa, tutto ciò che era stato rimosso anni prima; ogni ricordo che avrebbe potuto frantumare la fragile facciata che aveva costruito; ogni oggetto che rappresentava una storia conclusasi troppo presto. Also, she’s so annoying because she consistently made poor decisions and refused what her allies advised her to do. When Berenilde tortures her and Thorn asks her about it, she chooses not to tell him, for reasons that are eerily similar to Harry Potter’s when he was being tortured by Dolores Umbridge. Although in Ophélie’s case, it's just stupid and doesn’t make any sense. He could help you, you idiot! I just loved this the second time around as well that I had to round my rating up! I just have so much love for Ophelia and Thorn ❤️

"I'll admit to you that I'm a little disappointed. It would have been frightfully amusing to have Thorn's betrothed at my disposal."
