The Mirror Visitor Quartet by Christelle Dabos
My Opinion
Reading this fantasy series and learning afterwards that it was translated from French to English made me respect it even more. The world building absolutely blew me away, and made me wish that I was whisked away into one of the arks.

My Opinion
Dystopian done right. Two teens given the power to end life in a world where humans are immortal. Chaos ensues. This series was one of the few that have left me in tears.
