This book had a very different tone than the first two, and I think that has more to do with Ophelia’s change in character and motivation. The world-building went even further with the main plot unfolding on Babel, rather than the Pole. I loved the twists and turns of this one, and the continued transformation of Ophelia’s and Thorn’s relationship. Though I wish I saw more of it.

From Winter's Promise, The Missing of Clairdelune, to The Memory of Babel - the Mirror Visitor series never fails to leave me hanging. I'm seeing sorts of pattern how the story would start out and it would always give Ophelia a confiding person that displays a huge role later on like how she met Archibald, Gail, Fox, then Ambrose, Blaise or even Mediana and Octavio (though I think Mediana no longer's part of the picture). For the last book, I expect both couple will journey this stage together to unveil the secret. I had seething rage for the most part seeing the heroine in such situation, it was utterly unfair and really distressing but how she handled her affairs was very humane of her like in that certain circumstance that was the most plausible decision she could have made. The plot twist really gave me utmost goosebumps, now it gets interesting more than ever as many characters get introduced. From Book 1 to 2, it was Farouk's side POV that was included, and from Book 3 was Victoria's (his child). So, unto the succeeding parts it may continue that way since this little child has uncovered alot of discoveries (through her so-called journeying).

Spoiler

I'm curious to know what happened to Fox.
