I didn't get anything out of this second installment. There was a lot of running around, back and forth in time, but the story ran in place. I can't even decide if I like the characters. They don't seem to develop relationships with each other, or the relationships change to fit the action. I don't understand the rules of Summerland or the mirror. The story isn't making any sense to me. There is a cool part when Sarah runs off to break into Summer's house, but I'm just not getting it. I don'tSequel to OBSIDIAN MIRROR, one of my favorite YA reads of last year. Fisher's ability to create and maintain tension and mystery never ceases to amaze me, and this book is no exception - I was riveted throughout. I do think it suffers a bit from "middle-book" syndrome; there's no resolution in either plot or character arcs, which makes it feel rather like reading a set of chapters from the middle of a book and then having the book ripped out of your hands before you can finish. That said, there
Originally reviewed on www.serendipityreviews.co.ukI simply adore this series! This time travelling, fantastical epic adventure has me firmly on the edge of my seat and I cant wait until the next book comes out. Catherine Fisher has created a fictional masterpiece, which keeps you absorbed from beginning to end.From the very first paragraph you are thrown right into the action as a bomb drops on London during WW2; one of many detailed and descriptive time settings in the book. With a tightly
I have read a few of Catherine Fisher's books before, including the first book in the Chronoptika series. I also find her books to be interesting. And I always like reading them. It can just take a while to get into them I think...What I liked: I found Oberon Venn to be very interesting. It may partly be because I don't remember a whole lot of what was in the first book, but I wanted to figure him out. I thought his character was very complex. As was Sarah's, they both have clear missions that
I am glad to have found Book 2, to this interesting and mind confusing series. The Obsidian Mirror series is a great read. I was able to find Book 2 and check it out at my local public joint-use library. The ending, cliffhanger from book 1 made me excited to read the next book, and here I am finally able to read it. I am hyped to find out what happens next and to also, see if I either get more confused by it all or clarify some things that I thought about with Book 1.I've realized that besides
Skipped large swathes of this one. I'm only continuing because I heard the trilogy was supposed to be very good. So far, it's not working for me, but still has the potential to redeem itself.
