Flap Copy Description:
In book two of the bestselling Mirror Visitor Quartet, "the plots multiply, the world of the Arks gains depth, details abound, and the story envelops the reader as the pages fly by."
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.My Thoughts:
As I read Book Two of The Mirror Visitor - The Missing of Clairdelune - I kept thinking that at some point these books by Christelle Dabos will be discovered by multitudes of American fans of fantasy fiction who will go crazy for her work. Until then, I'll keep spreading the news! This multi-layered story includes a sensational cast of characters and a plot that will keep you guessing at every turn. The settings (which always are important to me in a story) are to die for - which some of the story's characters actually do. I highly recommend The Missing of Clairdelune, as well as Book One of The Mirror Visitor - A Winter's Promise, to readers aged ten and up.
