The young woman, a museum curator, is shy, awkward and withdrawn; and to the chagrin of her family she rejects all suitors quon offers him. Ophelia sintéresse not to love life, but tells him lorsquon quon found her a new boyfriend from the North, it can not back again and is in the obligation to comply with the will of his family, but also deans Danima in authority over the people. His engagement will lamener far from home: the Pole. Accompanied by her aunt, she will discover the Roseline Citacielle, a beautiful place in which lurk many secrets and where Ophelia is going to have to learn to live and survive in her beautiful family and to Thorn, her future husband.
Ophelia is a character quon appreciate early in the novel, his awkwardness and attitudes make it instantly endearing to the reader as to his family is described with surprising tenderness. The other characters that are complex lon discovers, Thorn and his aunt Berenilde have two strong personalities and lauteure managed the feat to make me switch between the affection and laversion for them. Still Thorn becomes very engaging in the pages despite his very unfriendly aspect, unseal faults, we want to know more.
The highlight of this novel is no doubt that the universe Christelle Dabos has put in place. I have been fascinated by singular imagination that arises from these pages, describes this world with incredible force. One can only senivrer stunning scenery and the almost dreamlike world. Jai often thought to Hayao Miyazaki Howl's Moving Castle by reading the descriptions as this fantasy world to the small quaint side is very similar to the Japanese cartoon.
The plot unfolds in turn brilliantly. The mysteries are solved gradually by systematically induce new and remains in a perpetual fog that has nothing unpleasant. If the beginning may seem a little slow, and the action Quà times my nonexistent published, I have nonetheless been carried away by this novel that plays on appearances. The writing worked is eaten slowly and marked spring of this novel, by the universe, the characters, the story and the setting portrayed. The only gripe jaurai, is the lack of romance that jattendais throughout the novel, but I trust Christelle Dabos for us to offer one in the next few tomes that i wait to devour.
