Book Review: The Missing of Clairdelune, Book 2 of The Mirror Visitor Quartet, by Christelle Dabos
The first book in this series was amazing and I had high hopes for this one. I wasn’t disappointed. Picking up right where book 1 left off, we continue Ophelia’s journey, preparing to meet the Family Spirit of the Pole:
The safety of Ophelia, her family and her fiance’s aunt (and her unborn child) depend on Lord Farouk accepting her into his court and extending her his protection. But politics is a game that Ophelia is still a novice with and in the Pole politics can be deadly. As the date for her wedding approaches those who would see her union with Thorn destroyed step up their malignance. Meanwhile, powerful members of the upper class are disappearing from the Ambassador's home - the one place where anyone should be safe. It falls to Ophelia to investigate these disappearances, much to Thorn’s disapproval. Can she solve the mystery of the disappearances and mend her relationship with her future husband before the wedding?
I stayed up way too late to finish this one, because I just couldn’t bear to stop with only a few chapters to the end left. And then I wanted to scream because I wanted to start the next one NOW! Unfortunately the english translation of book 3 is not yet out so it looks like I’ll be sitting on pins-and-needles for a while waiting for it. But as a huge fantasy fiction fan, I’m used to waiting for the next book in a series (I think I’ve lost count of how many I’m waiting for, actually) so until then I’ll be on to my next read.
If you haven’t had a chance to check out this series, I strongly recommend that you pick up book one of the Mirror Visitor Quartet, A Winter’s Promise. You can check out my review of that book HERE.
