A Winter's Promise
by Christelle Dabos
"As long as Ophelia had scruples, as long as she acted in accordance with her conscience, as long as she was able to face her reflection every morning, she would belong to no one other than herself. " [b:A Winter's Promise|40969531|A Winter's Promise (The Mirror Visitor #1)|Christelle Dabos|https://i.gr-assets.com/images/S/compressed.photo.goodreads.com/books/1532807526l/40969531._SX50_.jpg|25320621]
The perfect winter atmospheric read! The French translation to English was done so smoothly that I didn't even know it had been translated when I first picked it up. Ophelia is such an intriguing heroine and I love the theory of her being asexual. Since the characters don't discuss their orientations in the series, I doubt the theory will ever be confirmed, but I think that would explain a lot. I can't wait to continue the series and learn more about the strange world Ophelia is now living in.
Ophelia's relationship with her fiancee is unusual, mostly because I never know where they stand. Sometimes they get along well, other times I'm afraid they're going to kill each other. I hope they find a way to live favorably because neither of them deserved to be forced into this engagement. I can't wait to see more aspects of Ophelia's powers because this plot point has seemed to have fallen into the background since Ophelia has been hiding her identity. I feel that Ophelia's new family members still have lots of secrets to reveal, and I feel like the reader is still missing details about Citaceleste. I want to like Thorn, but he is just SO SELFISH. Like, even if you don't like your fiancee, at least explain to her how to exist in your homeland?!
I'm crossing my fingers that we get to see more of Fox and Gail who were honestly just delightful. I need to know what happens to them! And I just have to say, no matter how much he tries to play nice, Archibald is a loser and I don't care what happens to him. I see the Knight as the real villain of the book, like OHYMGOSH he's just the worst! When he stole Ophelia's memories that was when I realized he was a psychopath. His age really doesn't matter: the Knight is bloodthirsty, cold-hearted, and insane. I have no doubt that he would kill all the other characters without batting an eye, and for that reason, I hope Ophelia is able to defeat him soon.
