Reckless by Cornelia Funke

1.0

Jacob Reckless has traveled through the mirror in his father's study far too often. One of those times he makes a mistake and his younger brother Will follows him through. Jacob and Will were attacked by Goyls and now Will's skin is being taken over by jade. Which makes him hunted by Goyls and the Dark Fairy. Jacob must find a way to save him and keep Clare, Will's love, and Fox, Jacob's companion, safe in the process. But will the price be too high?

The story and the book begin slowly. The backstory and setting take a while to set up, but I spent the first few chapters trying to figure out what was happening. I wasn't compelled by the story to continue. However, once it got going, the action and adventure were interesting. Many fairytale elements here.
