The Mirror King by Jodi Meadows
5.0
The Mirror King takes up immediately where the first book left off. Wil is immediately in a precarious position and is made to make reluctant decisions to save the people she cares about. It's something that follows her throughout this novel, while she comes to terms to what it means to be a queen.
The journey is never easy, and it surprised me just how high the stakes became as the plot developed. This is a fantasy that felt realistic because there were many terrible consequences and a deep sense of foreboding as the magic became more and more out of hand. I loved how deeply captivating that made this story because I was so invested in the characters' plights. It also made for some heart-rending twists and turns. The Mirror King is all about difficult decisions and trying to do what's best for the people.
This book also features a romance that is so very touching in how much the two people care for each other, but in how so many obstacles lies in between their happiness. The forbidden aspect to a romance always draws me in, and here it was exquisite. Of course I can't talk about how it develops, but it was a very well-thought out part of this book and very believable.
I feel like there is much I can't discuss about this story because it is full of surprises, and the reader should discover them on his or her own. If you loved the first book, the second book does not disappoint - it carries on with the adventure, the romance, and the suspense (oh my goodness, the suspense!) as well as being a believable and engaging fantasy read. The Mirror King is a perfect end to the series.
