This book kept me reading in a confusing twist of betrayal, sisterly love, and time. It starts out with a girl named Mira, who's mother has just traded her to the witch Zerba. Secretly I think she was glad of this for her step-father and half-brothers beat her. There she meets Amanda, Zerba's other apprentice. Amanda and Mira vow to be sisters forever, but they don't know how long forever will be. One day Amanda transforms Mira into the magic mirror we all know from Snow White, and Amanda is the evil queen. After Mira has transformed her with magic to be more beautiful for years, Amanda doesn't return from her quest to kill Snow White. Mira is left hanging there for a hundred years, just waiting for someone to come and set her free from her wooden cage. Then Mira meets Ivana, a peasant girl who ran away from a father that beat her, similar to Mira's past. Mira helps Ivana to survive, finding a merchant and his daughter, Talia. What will happen to the three girls? Will Mira ever escape the mirror or find out what happened to her sister? Read Mette Ivie Harrison's book Mira, Mirror to find out!

I liked the book, but the ending wasn't really to my liking. It made sense, but I didn't like it. Overall, I would recommend it!

The Selection by Kiera Cass Review

Book review!!!
Today:
The Selection by Kiera Cass


(on the top it says: 35 girls, 1 crown, the competition of a lifetime)

I've been waiting to read this book for a long time and yesterday it came in! I was so excited I started reading it right away. It did not let me down. The constant twists and turns with some romance, humor, and fear, this book kept me hooked until I finished it at midnight!
Here's what it's about:

For thirty-five girls, the Selection is the chance of a lifetime. The opportunity to escape the life laid out for them since birth. To be swept up in a world of glittering gowns and priceless jewels. To live in the palace and compete for the heart of the gorgeous Prince Maxon.

But for America Singer, being Selected is a nightmare. It means turning her back on her secret love with Aspen, who is a caste below her. Leaving her home to enter a fierce competition for a crown she doesn't want. Living in a palace that is constantly threatened by violent rebel attacks.

Then America meets Prince Maxon. Gradually, she starts to question all the plans she's made for herself- and realizes that the life she's always dreamed of may not compare to a future she never imagined.
