booking_along 's review for:

A Mirror Mended by Alix E. Harrow
3.5
adventurous lighthearted medium-paced
Plot or Character Driven: A mix
Strong character development: Complicated
Loveable characters: Complicated
Diverse cast of characters: No
Flaws of characters a main focus: Yes

this was fun and an adventure. 

but it didn’t quite live up to the first book. 
this one felt a bit too forced?
it jumped around too much, and the ending felt a little weak after all that. 

it’s still a nice story and written well enough to be enjoyable. 

but for me there were too many holes left after the book finished.
to be non spoiler but still mention a few things:
 what happens between the two best friends?
what exactly is going on with her illness? does she still have it or not? felt like it didn’t even matter other than as a mentioning point throughout the book. 

this book did have some great points, just like the first book. that for example villains are what they are because it’s their story, not because it’s the real story. and everyone can turn into one or that sometimes the villain might make the most sense out of everyone and the all options available. 

with this ending i would guess there will be another book in the series but if that is the case i hope it will show down a little compared to this one, focus more on one specific plot line and not jump all over like this one did.

and if there is not another one?
than i am really disappointed with this ending not only of this book but even more so of the characters stories that started out so fantastically in the first book.
