Esse simplesmente não pode ser o final. Eu não estou pronta. 
Há tanto a se falar sobre essa série em geral, mas esse último livro me virou e desvirou do avesso tantas vezes que agora eu tenho certeza de que existirá sempre um pouco de Ophelie em mim. E gosto de acreditar que existe um pouco de mim em Ophelie também. A passa-espelhos é um romance sobre a manipulação da memória coletiva e sobre o apagamento da história, mas esse pano de fundo é tão sutil que é fácil esquece-lo as vezes. Nesse último livro, chegamos ao final épico em que todas as peças se encaixam e todas as respostas são colocadas na mesa, mas é tudo mais complicado e envolvente do que qualquer um de nós poderíamos ter imaginado. 
Eu agradeço mil vezes a oportunidade de ter conhecido esse mundo cheio de falhas e conflitos, de ter viajado ao Polo, resolvido mistérios no Luz da Lua, estudado em Babel e de ter virado do avesso em meio a essa tempestade de Ecos. Obrigada Christelle Dabos, por essa história que vai ecoar sempre na minha história. Que possamos todos ter a coragem e a resiliência de uma passa-espelhos.
