Manuela Montoya manuelamhdesign — M.J. Putney’s YA debut takes place in regency England where there magic in the world which is commonly used by the lower classes but is shunned by the elite and upper class. When Lady Victoria Mansfield accidentally reveals her powers, her father is quick to protect the family reputation and sends her off to Lackland Abbey, a reform school for privileged children. There they learn to suppress their magical abilities and hopefully one day be able to return to their families. The reason Tory’s powers were exposed in the first place was because she did something very heroic and it ended up saving a life. The result was disappointment and disgust from her father, friends and neighbours and also society but she doesn’t regret it one bit. It really shows what kind of character she is--strong, brave and self-sacrificing. Cynthia who is Tory’s roommate is pretty much the opposite. They get off on the wrong foot but by the end there’s a big turnaround with her character. Two characters that I wanted to more of was Elspeth and Allarde. Elspeth Tory become friends at Lackland and she was present through a lot of the story but her character wasn’t a big focus and mostly left in the background. There is an eventual romance between Tori and Allarde. The first time they’re introduced there’s a spark between the two and an instant connection. My problem was that there wasn’t enough interaction between the two until the later half of the book so the romance didn’t feel believable to me and I just wasn’t feeling it. With the title of “Dark Mirror” and also having a mirror on the cover I knew the mirror would be an important object in the story. It’s a time travelling story but instead travelling back in time Tory and some of her fellow students are able to travel to the future and help England in the time of WWII. Tory and her friends do manage to use their magic to help out and by the end most of the loose ends are tied up so I’m curious to see where M.J. Putney will take the story in the next book as it is the first book in a series.

Amol Doiphode amold89 — I really, really, really enjoyed this book. I basically read the whole thing in one sitting on a red eye to New York, so I was completely absorbed in the story. I found the setting to be really unique and interesting and I absolutely loved the characters, especially Rosie. The only problem I had with this book was the cruelty to the circus animals - those parts were really hard to read. But I guess that is the harsh ugly reality of the circus, especially 90 years ago. I also felt this is one of the first novels I have read in a long time where the ending was absoutely perfect. I wish I could start over and read it again for the first time.

Marina Bajic soseb — Agree or disagree w/ Hitchens, he is never boring and always challenges us and the conventional wisdom.

Ahmed Elgohary _hmed_lgohary — The story is remarkable, but the book is not very well-written and boring at times.

Rasmus Erland rasmuserla1bc1 — I found this one lacking a little something, but I AM looking forward to the next in the series.
