An okay edition to this series. I really enjoyed Babel, even if it felt a little long and like we were spending a lot of time there. The asides with Victoria were interesting and I would have liked to have read more. <SLIGHT SPOILER> I also wish that there was more Thorn and Ophelia content. Like she find him and it feel like such a non-event after three years. And then they have the little mini conflict that would have been solved by them just talking to each other. Very frustrating<SLIGHT SPOILER OVER>. I found the reveal in this one to fall a little flat for me, but we'll see how the last book in the series wraps things up.

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).
I'm curious to know what happened to Fox.
