The Mask of Mirrors by M.A. Carrick
4.0
★★★★☆ - four stars
Reading this book was a long long journey.
First of all, this is a hefty book with more than five hundred pages, which is not a bad thing at all. The problem was that at some points i was struggling to find the time to read it and i always felt like i was never gonna finish it.
In the end i powered through it and it was worth it because the final part of the book was amazing.
In “Mask of Mirrors” we follow the main character, Arenza Lenskaya, who is a con artist while she tries to infiltrate a noble House Traementis by pretending to be their cousin. But the plot of the book revolves also around many other characters that are all equipped by their own unique life stories and struggles.
The world building and the plot were really good but tiring at the same time. Not much action happened until the 70% mark and I was really just reading it to see what happens and to avoid one more book marked as dnf. Thankfully, the plot quickened and shit started happening and that is when i was almost glued to my seat while devouring every single word.
When it comes to characters they were all really decent but I didn’t feel attached to anyone except for one and only Derossi Vargo, crime lord turned businessman. He was totally my type of character, charming and mysterious at the same time. I’m so happy that I received an arc of the second book because for him I’m gonna start reading it immediately!
