Nilufer Ozmekik's Reviews > A Mirror Mended

Oh my goodness! Zinnia Gray who has astonishingly smartest and darkest sense of humor, brilliantly sarcastic, sappy narrator is one of the greatest heroines the author has created: Yes, she’s spent the last five years of her life diving through every iterat
Sleeping Beauty, chasing the echoes of her own shitty narrative through tin
space and making it a little less shitty, like a cross between Doctor Who and
editor. Rescuing princesses from space colonies and castles and caves; blessing babies; getting drunk with at least twenty good fairies,
making out with every member of the royal family are just occupational hazards she’s been dealing for long!

Is it fair for her dedicating her life to give each character a happily ever after when she just gets bored, exhausted, lost: mostly having no clue where she is, what she is doing, what her life purpose is?

Then she finds out one of the villanelles also revolts against her doomed destiny. The evil queen of Snow White learns the end of the story and she’s so determined to change her future. Could Zinnia help Evil Queen fulfill her destiny even though she cannot move a finger to do some slightest changes about her own derailing life story?

Well: the characterization, witty tone, smart plot line, twisted retelling idea of the fairytale lured me! I loved the first book and this one also earned my four magical stars!

The series is getting much better at each story! I’m looking forward to read the third one!

Special thanks to NetGalley and Macmillan/Tor/ Forge for sharing this digital reviewer copy with me in exchange my honest thoughts.
