The Mirror of Beasts is an excellent conclusion to the Silver in the Bone duology! This book is full of twists, vile creatures, and beautiful writing.
I didn’t think I could love these characters more, but oh was I wrong. Tamsin is still as snarky as ever. Caitriona is still stubborn. Olwen is delightful as always! Neve is very complex in this one, but still my favorite. Emrys!!!! He deserves to have a beautiful garden. I loved how each character was focused on in this book. Everyone had a distinct role in the story.
The plot was written and executed so well. It didn’t feel like anything was glossed over in the end. The story picks up right where the first one left off, which was great! I’d suggest rereading Silver in the Bone if you don’t quite remember it well.
Overall, this duology became one of my favorites. I didn’t want this story to end, but I’m very happy with how it ended. Thank you NetGalley and publishers for the arc! All thoughts and opinions are my own.
