Praise for
The Missing of Clairedelune
"Extravagant, intelligent fantasy which just gets better. In The Missing of Clairdelune, the delightful Ophelia - a reluctant Jane Eyre to her taciturn fiancé Thorn - continues to assert her independence as she negotiates the dangerous political maze of the Arks."--Katherine Langrish, author of the Troll Trilogy
"There's magic here, but the true magic is in the writing and translation. The narrative rockets with deceptive ease [ . . . ] The invisibility of effort in the prose is refreshing as is the flawless translation [ . . . ] Fresh and inventive, it explores new territory in the genre."--Eric Boss, MPIBA
"Escalating stakes ratchet tension while a somewhat leisurely pace allows readers to savor Dabos's spectacular settings, exquisitely rendered characters, and the ever-evolving relationships that bind them."--Publishers Weekly
"The plots multiply, the world of the Arks gains depth, and details abound, enveloping the reader as the pages fly by." --Le Monde des ados
"Particularly elegant writing, which also leaves room for a discreet sense of humor." --Le Figaro Littéraire
"Christelle Dabos has the gift of gripping readers of all ages." --Lire
"This book is bursting with inventiveness." --Le Monde des livres
"A subtle sense of magic, in fluid and elegant language." --Télérama
Praise for A Winter's Promise
"Your next YA obsession."--Entertainment Weekly
"Dabos has managed the rarely seen triad of complex worldbuilding, nuanced character development, and enthralling plot, even making it look easy. Not a seam shows in this intricate narrative weave that centers on and empowers an endearingly bookish and clumsy anti-heroine without insisting she change."--Kirkus Reviews
"As mesmerizing as a waking dream, A Winter's Promise is certain to ensnare you in its unique, dizzyingly magical world of treachery, illusion, and intrigue." --Margaret Rogerson, author of An Enchantment of Ravens
"A fantastic epic, definitely, but also a coming-of-age novel, this first volume makes a strong impression. A novelist is born." --Le Figaro
"Today, The Mirror Visitor stands on the same shelf as Harry Potter." --Elle
"Christelle Dabos impresses in this first novel with the power of her imagination. The architect of a bewitching and complex world, she sustains it with a subtle sense of wonder and elegant, flowing language. From metaphor to metaphor, this addictive and charming novel is also a great coming-of-age story."--Télérama
"From the very first page, you are thrown into this universe, launched through one of Anima's mirrors, never to return." --20 Minutes
"Readers' passion for this series comes from the pleasure of walking up and down the world of the Arks, weightless floating islands that are ruled by family spirits and humans gifted with special powers." --Le Monde
"With surgical precision, Christelle Dabos has created a hybrid world between fantasy and the Belle Époque." --MadmoiZelle
"The author continues her masterful architecture in this second installment as the arks, the family relationships, and the characters' histories all gain greater depth and dimension." --Kirkus Reviews
Secondo volume della saga dell'Attraversaspecchi (dopo il primo, "Fidanzati dell'inverno"). Sulla gelida arca del Polo, dove Ofelia è stata sbattuta dalle Decane perché sposi suo malgrado il nobile Thorn, il caldo è soffocante. Ma è soltanto una delle illusioni provocate dalla casta dominante dell'arca, i Miraggi, in grado di produrre giungle sospese in aria, mari sconfinati all'interno di palazzi e vestiti di farfalle svolazzanti. A Città-cielo, capitale del Polo, Ofelia viene presentata al sire Faruk, il gigantesco spirito di famiglia bianco come la neve e completamente privo di memoria, che spera nelle doti di lettrice di Ofelia per svelare i misteri contenuti nel Libro, un documento enigmatico che nei secoli ha causato la pazzia o la morte degli incauti che si sono cimentati a decifrarlo. Per Ofelia è l'inizio di una serie di avventure e disavventure in cui, con il solo aiuto di una guardia del corpo invisibile, dovrà difendersi dagli attacchi a tradimento dei decaduti e dalle trappole mortali dei Miraggi. È la prima a stupirsi quando si rende conto che sta rischiando la pelle e investendo tutte le sue energie nell'indagine solo per amore di Thorn, l'uomo che credeva di odiare più di chiunque al mondo. Sennonché Thorn è scomparso... Edizione in lingua inglese.
