Mermaid by Jodi Picoult
2.0

The added "In-Motion" features are cool if you are using one of the Fires, yet do not make up for a story that is confusing and basically plotless because of it. A lot of the problem is the jerkiness caused by reflections and then the current time. There is no warning, it's one paragraph from then and then the next from before without any obvious transition. It's jarring and confusing, especially in a short story.
