The Cracked Mirror by Brian Keaney

3.0

Once again this was a re-read for me. I had to go back and read book one and two of this series after reading book three.

Out of the three I have to say this was my least favorite. I thought the plot was slow at times, yet at others it moved too fast. One of these times was when Ezekiel fought Luther or Gallowglass, I thought that scene could have been longer.

Again I liked most of the characters in this book, Dante was still my favorite, next to Ezekiel for how they acted bravely. And Bea's character improved greatly in this book, instead of being a whiny girl who wouldn't accept facts she now is able to comprehend things that are going on around her and she bravely fights back.

However I really disliked Luther's character, he just bothered me from the start, and I also felt that his friendship with Nyro just wasn't shown enough for me to care about what happened to him. Nyro makes it clear that he was best friends with Luther but when we first see the two of them we really don't witness this and afterwords Luther has already started to become Gallowglass. I also don't understand how he died... or why he jumped.

Though this series is great I feel not enough is explained within each book. Luther wasn't explained very well at all, and then Set most definitely wasn't explained well at all. (And since I read the third book already I know he never really does get explained well)

Besides the lack of explanations and some annoying characters I still enjoyed this book and series very much =)
