Synopsis
With the dream of Avalon in ruins, Tamsin and her friends are all that stands in the way of Lord Death's plans to unleash the horrors of Anwnn on the world of the living. As the Wild Hunt carves a bloody path across continents, Tamsin is mustering allies, tracking down powerful artifacts, and traversing into new otherlands in search of a way to stop him.
Legend tells of a "Mirror of Beasts," powerful enough to trap even Lord Death in its accursed glass, but the mirror is not all that it seems. Tamsin must confront her own darkest secrets if she hopes to tap the mirror's strength to defeat her enemies.
Arthurian legend bleeds into contemporary action, and scars of the past are torn open anew by a starcrossed love that refuses to go quietly. This riveting conclusion to the Silver in the Bone duology will hold you in its thrall until the very last page.
Review
Gwendalyn's Books
This book was received from the Author, and Publisher, in exchange for an honest review. Opinions and thoughts expressed in this review are completely my own.
This is a non spoiler review, because you as reader need to read this book. Also, I feel sometimes I have in the past gave away to much of the plot line. This has diminished the pleasure for would be readers.
The Mirror of Beasts by Alexandra Bracken, picks up right after the devastating events of Silver on the Bone. Avalon lays in ruins, The Lord of Death is set upon complete destruction of the world of the living. Tamsin Lark and her friends Caitriona, Neve, and Olwen are still reeling from their cataclysm betrayal. This found family will need all the help they can get if they want to stop The Lord of Death.
Innovative world building and spectacular character development, make this fantasy duology outstanding. Tamsin and Emrys's enemies to lovers was everything I hoped it would be. There was some unforeseen twist that added so much to the storyline, and kept me entertained from start to finish. The action and adventure had me immersed along with nods to Arthurian legend this fantasy duo was thrilling.
If you are on the fence about this duology? Don't be! The second book was even better than the first !
