The prologue sets the history of the story and the strong bond Sophie has with her aunt. I absolutely loved the aunt and was really sad when she died.
I didn’t like Sophie as quickly as she fell in love with Kane. The story is original and not like any story I read before. Due to a strange gift left to Sophie by her late aunt, a broken mirror. This gift causes her to becomes part of a magical world she never knew existed. Sophie is special, and she must keep the mirror safe.
Kane & Ryu become her guides in understanding this new world where they can teleport to Japan, where there is an ongoing tournament testing their powers. The Satio brothers reminded me of the Salvatore brothers in The Vampire Diaries. I instantly liked their dynamic.
The main opponents of the Satio brothers were their other siblings, Raiden & Kaira. During their time training people come after Sophie, and the Satio brothers have to keep her safe. There was lots of fight scenes in the book, showing off their powers.
It all leads up to the final battle, where last minute changes to the rules to allow Sophie (a mortal) to attend. Now the brothers are competing and trying to keep her safe.
I’m glad I kept invested in the story because the ending was well worth the wait. I’m curious to see what takes place in book two as it ended on a juicy cliff hanger. Throughout the book their are snippets from “Him”, but it’s unclear who “Him” is and this builds intrigue.
If you like action, tournaments, and magical powers, go check it out.
