Reviews with content warning for Bullying - La memoria di Babel

Next please!!!

A couple of the twists and turns have gotten a little confusing to me but I’m still hooked and just powering through to see what happens in the last book. I <3 that

Ophelia and Thorn have ended up reconciled, that was stressful!!

This book was disappointing. Using the r-word is inexcusable. I know this text was translated, but that just shows how lazy and lack of awareness the translator and everyone that approved the copy was. There is other outdated and ableist vocabulary used throughout.

Now, in relation to the series, it was a major let down following book 2. The world seems to have gotten to big, we no longer have multi dimensional side characters and although the stakes are seemingly higher, we don’t feel it.

Stop at book 2 if you were on the fence about continuing the series at all.

More than two years after the ending of book two, we find Ophelia back at home, having essentially cut herself off from the world. This is a dual POV book. Most of the story is Ophelia's POV. She spends six months in Babel trying to find Thorn and figure out how to handle god. Every so often, we get Victoria's POV. While her body doesn't walk or talk, she does astral project quite often and she discovers several things that, to a three year old, mean nothing, but are notable to us, the reader!

Review of entire quartet on last book. I did miss the Pole setting, and starting on Babel took some time to get interesting hence the four stars.
