And it goes running all through the night."
Please watch in HD with a full screen. ;)
This two is what you get when two unemotional introverts with a slight state of opponents turn into ride or die for each other. They definitely own a special place in my heart.
"The Mirror Visitor" is a french novel series (Original: "La Passe-Miroir") consisting of four books set in a dystopical world written by Christelle Dabos.
Protagonist is Ophélie who simply wants to work in her museum on her ark Anima. But one day a political contract was made that demands her to marry Thorn from the Pole (I'm a sucker for "arranged marriage" tropes and the cover looked like Howl's Moving Castle - do I NEED to say more why picked it up? :D). As expected, they really don't get along very well at the start.
You have to know that the people are gifted with various powers. Thorn, for example, is a chronist and remembers EVERYTHING. He also belongs to the dragon clan which allows him to attack the nerve system of his foes to inflict pain (he kinda hates the power and struggles to control it but that man knows no chill when Ophélie gets hurt, believe me). Ophélie can animate objects (her scarf behaves like a living person, it is so cute) and wander through mirrors from one place to the next. Furthermore, she has the gift of reading - meaning that she touches an object and feels/sees the memories of everyone who ever touched it. Because of this ability, Thorn did this coup that they had to marry because he wants to get behind the secret of the book his family spirit obsesses over. A marriage on the Pole leads to a power exchange between the parties and so he would have gained this ability. Ophélie was NOT amused when she found out.
They bond over getting through various ploys and start discovering what even happened to the world - Eulalia Gonde and an echo leading to heavy consequences - and Ophélie also happened to be included in it.
So, this is my try to kinda show their journey through all the books. Starting with the unwanted engagement that slowly developed into more. Then the absolute insanity in Clairdelune with the abducted persons and Thorn being forced to leave after getting Ophélie's ability to walk through mirrors when the marriage was sealed (for real, Thorn made all those plans to get her reader ability and from all of the three powers he could get, this is the one he did not receive - it's so freaking funny if you think about it). Then Ophélie searching Thorn in Babel where I kinda couldn't resist to give more meaning to the slight "Thorn's watch turned into a compass" plot and them absolutely failing to talk about their feelings like normal persons - the chapter "The Words" was such a satisfying read here. And then this whole plot with the undercover thing in the faculty (in my version, they obviously blow the place up). The book also made a little hint that Thorn won't be lost in Reverse forever and so I went a bit over canon to show Ophélie getting him back already.
It's still not a series I would recommend for everyone - simply because of the change in tune after book 2. Thing is, compared to the politics and the people in the Pole, Babel couldn't reach the same power. I don't despise book 4 as much as many others (I actually rather liked it at times but I must be honest and say that the first two books were BETTER). However, Thorn and Ophélie as couple? What a win! Just give me more about them to read and I'll be fine. Also, Thorn is easily one of my fave book characters now. This scarred stoic mess deserves the world.
