Ophelia and her family live on Anima, an ark where values like family and warm-heartedness are very important. With their imposing stature, pale hair, light eyes and clan tattoos, Ophelia felt even more diminutive, more dark-haired, more short-sighted and more of a stranger than ever in their midst. And because it’s fantasy (moreover not placed in a modern setting) we can’t make a 50/50 comparation to the real world. The book’s dramatic and thrilling conclusion is the battle between the several factions vying for power and control over the Arks.It appears that he doesn’t really care about her, and Ophelia slowly starts to realize that she may have been brought to this place for another reason entirely. At about the 200 page mark I was starting to get worried that I might never finish it, and seeing that I still had 300 pages to go, I finally decided to skim the remainder, something I don’t think I’ve ever done before. Students will try out nature observations of plants, animals, and insects; sketch natural items and the “one small squares” of woodlands or wetlands; enjoy hands-on activities, conduct experiments, take samples, and enjoy discoveries of all kinds! Under an assumed identity she travels to Babel, a cosmopolitan and thoroughly modern ark that is the jewel of the universe. I hope I didn’t sound rude, in the end of the day people have different ways of thinking and I did find your review interesting!

A Winter’s Promise: Book One of The Mirror Visitor Quartet

When Farouk, the ancestral Spirit of Pole, promotes her to Vice-storyteller, Ophelia finds herself thrust into the public spotlight. Especially all their little quirks like Thorn's dice or Ophelia's scarf or their powers made this interesting. However, soon after, she receives a surprise marriage proposal from Thorn, a prominent and well-known member of the Dragon clan from the Ark of the Pole. I mean, this whole story feels very old-fashioned and I supposed that used to be the advice given to young women who are about to be married, but jeez!Ophelia’s role is to spy on the other Arks for Thorn’s family and discover what they are keeping secret. Ophelia is also struggling to come to terms with the fact that she is a Reader, and that she has the power to read people’s minds.
