I was intrigued that the main character of this fairy tale was the magic mirror from Snow White and the Seven Dwarves How did the animating personality get inside the mirror What happened to herthe mirror when the wicked ueen didn t succeed in killing Snow White with the poison apple Can she escape her imprisonment in the mirror And how can a main character be a mirror with no way to get around or control her movements and nothing but her voice to advance the plot Mira Mirror explores those uestions and creates an intriguing coming of age novel not only for the main character but also for the other people in the novel she interacts with My only complaint is that I wish the story had a little humor and joy As Mette Ivie Harrison said about her writing she has a taste for the grim side of fairy tales Don t be put off by that assessement it s still a very good story

You know the mirror from the Snow White fairy tale Or do you One hundred years later she is still hanging on that wall This is her uest to be human again In the world of Mira Mirror a witch s magic was taken from death and right from the start the reader has to uestion whether it s good or evil to even practice magic However I found the morality of this story hazy at best And the relationships between sisters wastoxic in the worst of times and dysfunctional in the good situations Definitely seemed to support the idea that at least one of the sisters in a family is competitive and constantly trying to show up the others while another sister is always self sacrificing aka a doormat HmmmThe story of Mira s transformation into the Mirror was told uickly I mean like within 12 pages blink and you d miss it So I felt like Harrison could ve spent time in the beginning of the book developing Zerba the witch with two apprentices the first apprentice who later becomes the Evil ueen and Mira Zerba s second apprentice Harrison does include several flashbacks throughout the story but their emotional impact wasn t nearly as strong as they would ve been early on then carried with the reader the duration of the story Though this book was written for ages 10 and up so maybe it was a matter of keeping the attention of younger readers I m not sure I buy into that whole concept seeing as I read some pretty long adult books when I was 11 12 Or maybe Harrison decided it was easier to see the Mirror struggle with living among humans again and using them for its own gains by relating the Mirror s human experiences as MiraOnce the Mirror meets Ivana and then Talia the story mixed in elements of The Prince and the Pauper and later with the Duke Beauty and the Beast The ending was typical fairy tale and the last lines of the book attempt to teach readers the moral of the story but in all honesty it felt kinda hokeyI almost rated Mira Mirror 4 stars because1 I loved that the story was all about the Mirror how it came to be what it felt like serving the ueen how that service changed it and the entire story was from the Mirror s POV There were times the Mirror even seemed like a villain at the worst a co conspirator at the best an enabler one who lost their humanity during transformation but retained a deep inner desire almost a subconscious wish of wanting to be a good witch yet couldn t let go of the hope that her sister would make good on her promise2 I loved that there was a brief flashback pages 93 97 of how the tree with the apples that would later be poisoned and used against Snow White came to be It s mentioned again later page 264 as one of the Duke s favorite trees3 The Evil ueen s name was revealed although I didn t much like the actual name it seemed too plain to me I liked that Harrison chose to include a name I also liked the little bit of details about what happened to the Evil ueen after she confronted Snow WhiteOverall Mira Mirror would probably be most enjoyed and appreciated by younger readers especially young fans of Disney s Snow White however mature experienced readers might enjoy it if they re able to turn off their inner critic and just read it with no analysis3 stars
