This is a masterpiece. Dabos is a unique genius, her world building is probably the best I've ever read. The narrator of the audiobook also is amazing I enjoyed this story more than i could if i read it myself. This series is not for the faint of heart, requires dedication and persistance, but its worth everything. I wish there were more ophelia thorn moments.

I dunno how to rate this book as I have mixed feelings about it, and the negative ones outweigh at the moment. I loved the first three books in this series

the writing style is still amazing imo, and I wish there was more of this universe and characters I could read 
but the story was all over the place in this volume? so many plotlines were introduced but then only slightly touched and not much expanded on


plus for the blurb stating ophelia and thorn would be “as united as they’d never been before” there was a severe lack of them together which was a huge letdown, as the scenes with the two of them together were great

I HATE open endings
and I can’t believe I’m being robbed of ophelia introducing thorn to her family properly after everything that’s happened and the relationship they’ve developed; bye
they both deserved better a better ending ☹️



it wasn’t all bad but it left me feeling unsatisfied in a lot of areas

Esse simplesmente não pode ser o final. Eu não estou pronta. 
Há tanto a se falar sobre essa série em geral, mas esse último livro me virou e desvirou do avesso tantas vezes que agora eu tenho certeza de que existirá sempre um pouco de Ophelie em mim. E gosto de acreditar que existe um pouco de mim em Ophelie também. A passa-espelhos é um romance sobre a manipulação da memória coletiva e sobre o apagamento da história, mas esse pano de fundo é tão sutil que é fácil esquece-lo as vezes. Nesse último livro, chegamos ao final épico em que todas as peças se encaixam e todas as respostas são colocadas na mesa, mas é tudo mais complicado e envolvente do que qualquer um de nós poderíamos ter imaginado. 
Eu agradeço mil vezes a oportunidade de ter conhecido esse mundo cheio de falhas e conflitos, de ter viajado ao Polo, resolvido mistérios no Luz da Lua, estudado em Babel e de ter virado do avesso em meio a essa tempestade de Ecos. Obrigada Christelle Dabos, por essa história que vai ecoar sempre na minha história. Que possamos todos ter a coragem e a resiliência de uma passa-espelhos.
