https://www.goodreads.com/review/show...

Magical Realism, Romance
Overall, I enjoyed the entertaining and atmospheric story, but it wasn’t what I expected. However, the world-building was excellent and it was a nice change-of-pace read that was also thought-provoking. The exploration of relationships was well-done.

Sandra Hoover (sandrahoover) | 205 comments I finished The Mirror by Nora Roberts and loved book 2 in The Lost Bride trilogy. I love that there's no mistaking whose work you're reading with Nora Roberts as her signature style is evident. As always, brilliant world-building, characterizations and detailed plot lines set this one apart! Looking forward to book 3. My Review
