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!
