oh MAN was this book amazing. i liked the first one, but a mutual of mine on goodreads told me that i was going to like the second one even more and they were absolutely correct. the characters are so very compelling. ophelia grows so much as a person in this book; even moreso than in the last one. she's still my favorite character and reminds me in a lot of ways of lyra from his dark materials. this whole book series is reminding me more of his dark materials, the locked tomb, and a ghibli movie the deeper into it i get!! thorn, who was also my favorite character in the last book, became even moreso in this book as well!! what he said at the end omg ;-; also just everything that happens with him in this book was so *chef's kiss* AMAZING!! i've been able to basically guess everything that has happened in terms of his character, but it doesn't detract from the story itself at all. i loved fox in the last book, but, again, i loved him even more in this book!! same with gail and mother hildegarde and berenilde and even farouk!! farouk in particular is interesting and everything that happens with him in this book is what had me reading wayyy up into the night, which, bc i have chronic fatigue, i haven't done in years. the knight tho....i wanted that kid dead i'm not even going to lie. i Did feel a bit sorry for him in the end, but good lord was that kid getting on my nerves. the setting itself is beautiful, just as it was in the first book. so much of this book reminds me of castle in the sky or howl's moving castle!! i want to live on one of the arks so bad omg
Secondo volume della saga dell’Attraversaspecchi (dopo il primo, Fidanzati dell’inverno), Gli scomparsi di Chiardiluna trascina il lettore in una girandola di emozioni lasciandolo, alla fine, con una voglia matta di leggere il terzo volume. Sulla gelida arca del Polo, dove Ofelia è stata sbattuta dalle Decane perché sposi suo malgrado il nobile Thorn, il caldo è soffocante. Ma è soltanto una delle illusioni provocate dalla casta dominante dell’arca, i Miraggi, in grado di produrre giungle sospese in aria, mari sconfinati all’interno di palazzi e vestiti di farfalle svolazzanti. A Città-cielo, capitale del Polo, Ofelia viene presentata al sire Faruk, il gigantesco spirito di famiglia bianco come la neve e completamente privo di memoria, che spera nelle doti di lettrice di Ofelia per svelare i misteri contenuti nel Libro, un documento enigmatico che nei secoli ha causato la pazzia o la morte degli incauti che si sono cimentati a decifrarlo. Per Ofelia è l’inizio di una serie di avventure e disavventure in cui, con il solo aiuto di una guardia del corpo invisibile, dovrà difendersi dagli attacchi a tradimento dei decaduti e dalle trappole mortali dei Miraggi. È la prima a stupirsi quando si rende conto che sta rischiando la pelle e investendo tutte le sue energie nell’indagine solo per amore di Thorn, l’uomo che credeva di odiare più di chiunque al mondo. Sennonché Thorn è scomparso...
