I loved this!! The story arc was so great, and I couldn't stop listening to the audiobook. I loved Zin even more in this, and I'm so happy for the characters. Charm and Prim are just absolutely adorable!!
Also, the queer rep was so sweet and I just had so much fun :)

A quick, yet delightfully enjoyable book that develops characters in a way where you're barely even conscious of how little time has past (well, little as compared to a full-length book). A Mirror Mended starts off where A Spindled Splintered left more questions, and shows the main character's evolution with humorous, yet deeply emotional inner-dialogue and character interactions.
Spoilers! Vague, but might give something away about the ending.
While I prefer queer romance where there is a guaranteed happy ending, I didn't find it off-putting when that was not assured here. The constant questioning of life, and knowing that one must die-- something seen heavily in the first book-- was heart-wrenching and beautiful.
