Week 31 Review: The Mirror of Beasts

From Goodreads:

With the dream of Avalon in ruins, Tamsin and her friends are all that stands in the way of Lord Death's plans to unleash the horrors of Anwnn on the world of the living. As the Wild Hunt carves a bloody path across continents, Tamsin is mustering allies, tracking down powerful artifacts, and traversing into new otherlands in search of a way to stop him.

Legend tells of a "Mirror of Beasts," powerful enough to trap even Lord Death in its accursed glass, but the mirror is not all that it seems. Tamsin must confront her own darkest secrets if she hopes to tap the mirror's strength to defeat her enemies.

Arthurian legend bleeds into contemporary action, and scars of the past are torn open anew by a starcrossed love that refuses to go quietly. This riveting conclusion to the Silver in the Bone duology will hold you in its thrall until the very last page.

My Review:
I loved reading this book! I've loved her books from the beginning, and I had to know how this story would continue on after the ending of the first book. It was such a wild ride, and such a great story, and I couldn't get enough!

The cliffhanger ending of the first book, where it left these characters, I had to know how they were going to deal with that. What happened was pretty game changing, and I loved seeing how they adapted, and found a way forward.

Tamsin went through a lot, with her brother and with how she was betrayed. That she wasn't someone who trusted easily in the first place, that was hard for her to deal with. It was so engaging to watch her deal with those emotions, and how she can continue to put her trust in people. 

I wasn't sure how they were going to deal with everything, but I knew I could trust Alexandra Bracken to bring the story to a satisfying conclusion, and she did! It was so well done, so entertaining, and really great to see where we left these characters! 

Loved reading this book, and I can't wait for whatever's next from Alexandra Bracken!
