horrendously 's review for:
The Girl With No Reflection
by Keshe Chow
For a debut novel, Keshe Chow absolutely blew me away with this book. The asian mythology, the royal court setting, the concept of the reflection counterparts, every part of it was beautiful. What drew me into this book was the cover, and then when I read that there was a whole other world revolving around the characters' reflections I was wondering in my head how this could play out and this book blew every expectation for what I thought. Our character Ying is betrothed to the Crown Prince but what she thought would be an absolute fairytale but the prince is cold, and indifferent towards her and her happiness falls apart. She is locked in her room and she ends up seeing things in mirrors / reflections of water and that's when she meets her mirror counterpart and they swap places and she meets the mirror prince and he's everything she ever wanted.
The setting of this book, in both the mirror and real world, was absolutely amazing. I love asian dramas revolving around the royal court so this was perfect for me. The politics that revolve around the royal court are always intriguing and can get a bit messy so watching it unfold was great and I couldn’t put the book down. And everything that happens revolves around the mirror world? The twists and turns oh my god, A M A Z I NG ! Parts I was able to predict only because I had bad feelings about certain things but even with the predictability I was pleased. I was worried that this book wouldn't leave me satisfied since its a stand alone, but it didn’t the ending was perfect for this story and left me satisfied enough.
Overall I’m super excited to read more books by Keshe Chow and I can’t wait to see what she does next. Thank you to Netgalley and Random House Childrens/Delacorte Press for the e-arc exchange for an honest review.
