La Passe Miroir : Les Fiancés de l'Hiver

"Un peu plus que cela, même."

My first article about an originally french novel ! I started reading this book because I'm a big fan of fantasy, but I certainly didn't expect something so different from what I'm used to with this genre. We are far from universes populated by warriors in armor, dragons, or monstrous creatures, far from medieval settings, far from heroines with superpowers, and far from clan wars. 

The art of subtlety : I believe that everything is said in these two words.

Christelle Dabos is a magician. She draws before us a completely imaginary world, resulting from her own dreams, her own chimeras, and her wandering ideas, and the least I can say is that I was amazed ! I was amazed at each page of this overflowing imagination where everything seems to flow naturally, like in a dream.

Well, okay, the heroine is not a good warrior. We sometimes even wonder what prompted the author to choose her as the heroine ! Insignificant, not even pretty, clumsy, shy. In short, poor Ophelia has nothing going for her. Well, that's not entirely true : she has a gift. Even two. She is a reader and pass-mirror. I will not tell you anything else.

So what about the bad guys? Where are they ? Besides, are they really that fierce? Throughout the first volume, as a reader, like Ophélie, I did not know who to trust. A real sleight of hand. Kind and warm-looking beings turn out to be deceitful and cruel, those who seemed cold and calculating may finally find favor in your eyes. But nothing is quite certain. 

And it's all that kept me spellbound and that made me devour this novel : this imaginary world revealed, this heroine, on whom we wouldn't bet, but who remains determined, tenacious and courageous. But also these very mysterious characters with multiple faces who made me turn pages and pages in the hope of unlocking their secrets !
