What is Hall of Mirrors about?
In a word: consequences. The dramatic ending of The Fires of Winter didn't happen in a vacuum. A lot of people saw it, and now how do people react to that? Not always how you'd think.
Some are empowered by it, and Longstown gets to host its first suffrage rally. Some are terrified and resentful, and a young witch is sentenced to die. Some are disappointed, and demand answers as to why 200 years of secrecy was blown up in such spectacular fashion.
But it's not only the consequences of what we've seen that haunt our protagonists. What happens when you stop running from horror and you're forced to live with the memories? What happens when the woman you love is finally able to pursue her ambitions, while you're left at home? What happens when your dreams are denied, and the immense power you wield is useless to make them come true?
Hall of Mirrors, like all of my books, is about the characters, their growth, their relationships (romantic and otherwise), their love of and loyalty to one another, and standing up for what they believe is right, consequences be damned.
With a new, fourth (and final!) POV character, new witches, more magic, and our first trip outside of Britain, to witness one of the most consequential moments in 20th century history, Hall of Mirrors is both bigger and smaller than its predecessors, and I hope you'll enjoy it just as much.
