Okay so... the premise had me hooked (mirrors! princes! dark magic!), but the execution? A miss for me. 😅
The romance? I couldn’t feel the connection. So much happened off-page (fine!), but for a slow-burn? I needed more banter, more "enemies," more... tension on the page. It was like watching a romance through frosted glass.
And the pacing? Started slow... then you get caught up in the rush... and then it just... drags. I felt like I skimmed the last few chapters (or six 😅) but I definitely didn't!
Esmira? Sweet girl, but she felt like a mouse in a lion’s den—and not in a fun, empowering way. I wanted her to roar, but she mostly... squeaked. (Though her journey to find purpose? That part? Chef’s kiss. 🖤)
Methrin? Had potential! But he felt like a sketch—needed more shading, more sides of him on-page, more something to make him real. We got his backstory we know why he's called the Wicked prince of Mirrors but.... something was missing...
The plot? Intriguing. The lore? Amazing. The stakes? High. The execution? Not for me.
Thank you to Angela J. Ford for this gifted ARC. All thoughts are my own.
