🪞The mirrored trilogy🪞
The other side of the mirror was @danaevyn's debut nocel, and the first book in the mirrored trilogy. Here, I will also be reviewing book two, the mirror and the mountain. These reviews will be SPOILER FREE.
So, let me get started by saying if you love fantasy worlds, strong lead characters, intricate magic systems, and political maneuvering, paired with fantastic lore and world building, topped off with a romantic subplot... these books are for you.
These books are absolute romantasy gold.
I love the authors writing style, and i love the characters. I do feel at times things move quite quickly, but it just keeps you turning the pages! I couldn't get enough of the characters, their stories, the world. I'm absolutely miserable waiting for book three, I need it so bad 😫
I love the blend of shadow magic, light magic and portal magic. The mirrors being portals is a fairly unique take, and it gave some Alice in wonderland vibes, which is a win in my book as it is one of my all-time faves. I really look forward to reading more about the world in the next book, as I'm really loving learning more and more about the human and fae realms in this series.
The found family elements in these books are second to none. They are perfection. I don't say that lightly, and as I'm sure you all know by now, it is one of my absolute favourite tropes. I love all the characters and how to learn to care for each other, love each other (romantically and otherwise), their banter, and how they all have something to add to the story, are their own characters and have a unique voice. I love that as the series progresses, we get more povs and see more of the other characters. I'm so excited for book three, and can't wait to read it.
These books are so action packed and addictive. Easily a new fave series i will recommend, always.
Some of my fave elements (expect this and so so much more):
✨ Fated mates
✨ Fae
✨ Elemental magic
✨ Celestial magic
✨ Hidden identity
✨ Found family
✨ Dreamwalking
✨ Strong FMC
✨ Training scenes
✨️ Witty banter
✨ Multiple POV
