I've not much to say about this. I really wanted to like Ophelia, but I just didn't, so I guess that's my biggest gripe. She was too 'I'm not like other girls'. Sometimes, the narrative style felt really cosy, and then, other times, it felt unnatural and stiff. She literally has the power to read the past of any object she touches and can also move through mirrors but barely used either of these skills?! I don't think I'll be carrying on the series, which is a shame but I did enjoy it for its wintery vibes.
