![]() ![]() ![]() Sophie becomes less the unattainable ideal and more of a mirror, and I can't help but feel a wink from the author in that: Here you are. ![]() She possesses just the right amount of complexity to be believably real, and to be read in different ways by different people: as a teenager, I would have loved her intelligence, determination, and independence but reading Sophie when I am a few years older than her, I recognize all the hallmarks of the educated millennial-the drifting quality of her life, the slightly neurotic personality, the indefinable yearning for something more. ![]() One of the more noteworthy facets of this series is our protagonist, Sophie Hansa. Dellamonica hits the ground running, thrusting Sophie back into multiple layers of investigation and complication.

It was a captivating take on the portal fantasy subgenre, with intricate worldbuilding and rich characterization. ![]()
