The book was a nice story to read. The fact that everything happened that fast made me have the feeling that this could have more to say about the characters and about the entire world of Ankusha.
First, I appreciate a fantasy novel according to the complexity of the world imagined by the author- this novel here has great potential and I like this travel through the mirror. After all, this is the most wonderful feature of fantasy: the freedom to imagine new universes. The second criterion is the writing. As free as constraints are fantasy, it remains a literary genre and the author's literary grace is very important. And the last criterion are the characters. As impressive as the imagined universe may be, if it is not populated by credible characters with whom we can identify, the pleasure of reading will not be complete and here I did not really found very credible the love triangle or the fact that Josie after all the trauma gathered there she was so flower power and the author has not insisted on Josie’s emotions and the entire action has just cut important aspects.
I do hope the author will continue with some novels in the same universe.
This was a very short ad awesome read. I loved the way it was written. It's an adventure that takes us to an other world. I liked that the book isn't slow. Si ce the first pages the author takes us to a marvelous world where Josie discovers Ankusha. The traveling to the another realm through the mirror is a very good idea. Yes, we already know a lot of stories where the characters travel to another world. And this book was like jumping into an interesting adventure. The book isn't boring. For me it was like watching some old movie like John Carter or The Mommy. The only thing I didn't like, maybe, the story was too short. I needed a little more of description, action, I don't know. Maybe more pages are needed for Josie's and Peter's relationship in the beginning. By the way, it was good and lovely read.
