The Memory of Babel (La Passe-Miroir, #3)

by Christelle Dabos

Hildegarde Serle (Translator)

In the gripping third volume of Christelle Dabos’s best-selling saga, Ophelia, the mirror-travelling heroine, finds herself in the magical city of Babel, guarding a secret that may provide a key both to the past and the future.

After two years and seven months biding her time on Anima, her home ark, it is finally time to act, to put what she has discovered in the Book of Faruk to good use. Under an assumed identity she travels to Babel, a cosmopolitan and thoroughly modern ark that is the jewel of the universe, and where automata have taken over the most humble jobs from humans. But under the surface of this pacific and orderly ark social unrest stirs, fed by the memories of a fateful purge long ago, and the inhabitants’ growing fear of being replaced altogether. Will Ophelia’s talent as a reader suffice to avoid her being lured into a deadly trap by her ever more fearful adversaries? Will she ever see Thorn, her betrothed, again?

Reviews

I really enjoyed this, I loved getting to see another Arch, to see another world and to get to know more about everything, about God, the history of this world and to meet new people. I loved how Ophelia and Thorn ended in this one and how they constantly grow together and how it is shown so clearly that the most important part of them, the reason why they work when they do, is that they communicate and that they are honest with each other. This series just keeps getting better.
