The Mirror tetralogy, which was immediately shot up among French youth bestsellers by the enthusiasm of readers and critics after its release and, similar to Harry Potter and The Lord of the Rings, is not defended even by adult readers, unfolds before the enchanted eyes an unusual world in which people have settled on numerous Locas. After the Earth is shattered into pieces, these orbit around the old world, each under the protection of an immortal Family Spirit. The Disappearances in the Moonlight, the second part of the great fantasy saga, continues the story where the end of The Winter's Bride froze it into shimmering crystals. The story, which is distinguished by a subtle sense of psychology and the miraculous, is enlivened only by the presence of a seemingly fragile, but in reality extremely bright and composed heroine, whose inner strength, despite finding herself in the midst of dark medieval intrigues and dubious alliances, cannot be shattered to pieces. With its wealth of plot twists and turns and attention to narrative detail, it builds a narrative arc through which this novel of sparkling French esprit swings onto the bookshelf alongside the most distinguished works of the fantasy genre.
