Ophelia returned to Anima, her native ark, and for two and a half years she has been living as if in hibernation: she participates in the Festival of the Clock, visits the building of the Old Archives, fights off the endless advice of her relatives... But her thoughts are far from here - and minutes so that she doesn't think about Thorn's disappearance. One day, at the height of the fair, the heroine meets the restless Archibald - he learned to use the Rose of the Winds to move from ark to ark. Here it is - Ophelia's chance to find her missing husband!In the new book by Christel Dabo, the world that readers met in the first two volumes becomes even more voluminous and multifaceted. The heroes are no longer closed between the Anima and the Pole - the roads to any of the twenty arks are open before them. And only to the twenty-first, Arcanterra, the path is not known to anyone. But before unraveling this riddle and going to the darkest corners of the universe, Ophelia will have to visit Babylon. This is where her inner instinct and love beckon.The third part of the tetralogy "Through the Mirrors" takes the skill of the French writer to a new level: both the characters and the device of the world invented by her become more complicated, and the plot is at first sedate, but then it develops more and more rapidly, like a tightly compressed spring. Ophelia acquires a new magical property: in addition to passing through mirrors and reading objects, an unmistakable recognition of hostile intentions and scaring off aggressors is added. rich in details referring now to Japanese animation, now to the classics of French literature. The Russian translation of books (translators: Irina Volevich, Yulia Rats and Elena Morozova) comes out simultaneously with translations in other countries: in 2018, readers in Italy, Hungary, and the USA are joining this amazing universe, and the world circulation has long exceeded 500,000 copies.< /p>

Не совсем оправдала ожидания
Хотя я был в восторге от первых двух книг серии, "Память Вавилона" оставила меня с некоторыми разочарованиями. Сюжет, хотя и интересный, местами кажется затянутым, а некоторые элементы, такие как использование Розы Ветров, не были раскрыты достаточно глубоко. Офелия, хоть и продолжает развиваться, иногда выглядит слишком пассивной, и мне не хватало динамики в её действиях. Встреча с Арчибальдом, хоть и важная, не произвела на меня ожидаемого эффекта. Кроме того, некоторые новые персонажи не были проработаны должным образом, и их мотивация оставалась неясной. Несмотря на это, я всё же ценю мир, созданный Дабо, и надеюсь, что в следующих книгах сюжет станет более увлекательным и насыщенным.
