diamondxgirl 's review for:

Mirror of Fate by Kiersten White, Matthew Cody, Gwenda Bond, E.C. Myers, Carrie Harris, Andrea Phillips
5.0

Buckle up, kids, because we are all aboard the FEELS train with Mirror of Fate. In a world of doom and gloom, Gwenda explores what's going on with Seyah and brings an unexpected relationship to the forefront...And here at Ravenous Reader, we bought the tickets to the front of the train!

The kiss. The kiss she knew she'd obsess over instead of going to sleep.

I had the chance to meet Gwenda at YallFest and SQUEE over ReMade, which she replied, "What about that kissing scene? eh? eh?" with a little eyebrow wiggle. Indeed. I was on a plane when I read it and had to contain my fist pumping (sorry, nice man next to me).

These are the lives we have left. It's time to live, not just run.

Baths. The teens find some hot springs and FINALLY get to take a bath. Following up on the last episode, they do not yet make it to the twinkly lights - city - they saw previously. We still have 5 episodes left for them to figure out what the story is there.

I appreciate Gwenda exploring cultures, white privilege, and generally confronting bias in the span of 29 pages.
