Not as enjoyable as the others. Maybe I'm too tiny brain but the plot thickened a little too much for my tastes. The pacing also felt a little stop and start, with the final few chapters having EVERYTHING and lots of the earlier ones really dragging. Still enjoyed it though!

What an incredible, messy story with so many interesting and twisted characters to follow! I'll keep this series close to my heart for a very very long time.

I hold this series dear to my heart. The concluding novel was complex, adding even more details to the world that haven’t been fully developed in previous novels. This made the material more dense that the others. Initially, I was heartbroken with the ambiguous ending and the loss of some characters. But, after reflecting and reading some reviews, I soon learned that the author’s intention was to have the audience interpret their own ending to Ophelia and Thorn’s story. There are themes of having one’s own destiny and to not let any “creator” take control of one’s life and choices, which is why I think the author (creator) made this ending the way it is. My heartache just shows how close I became to these characters, which is a sign of a great story.

This. Was. The. Best.
omg in love with this series.
I'm in love with Ophelia.
I'm in love with Thorn.
I'm in love with Archibald.
I'm in love with all of the main characters and many "side" characters oh my lord.
It was really good, its clear this book was a bit rushed but tbh I loved it either way.
while I would appreciate seeing ophelia's travel in the end, I don't necessarily think there's a need for another book.
i was so scared to read this last book but in the end it didn't leave me such a bitter taste on my tongue.
I enjoyed this series so much I doubt I'll ever like a book series as much again.
Thank you Christelle Dabos for making me addicted to a tall, grumpy, really blond guy, I didn't really need another obsession to my list but I'm thankful I stumbled upon this series. <3

I really liked this series. A little more than that, even. Dabos created such a wonderfully unique and rich world, and crafted an earth-shattering origin for it all. I love Ophelia and Thorn more than life itself, and the agonizingly slow enemies to lovers evolution they underwent over the course of TWO (2) ENTIRE BOOKS was gorgeous and heartrending and took too long but also took just long enough. Ophelia is such a strong character, and seeing her self confidence and self understanding grow over the quartet was beautiful. Thorn’s self actualization was lovely as well. The supporting cast was full of beautiful and diverse characters, each and every one perfectly lovable or detestable. My only complaints are that the unraveling of the gorgeous mystery of the world’s origins itself sometimes felt too complex. At other times, I felt that we didn’t see enough of the world and the discoveries “on screen.” I also missed the setting and characters of the Pole once the story moved to Babel, and found it a bit hard to get interested in the new setting at first. This quartet was a wonderful way to spend a few work weeks, and I will gladly revisit this world should Dabos ever write more Mirror Visitor books. I’m obsessed with the world building and would read an entire book about each and every ark.
