Fantasy from The Book Drop

The Mask of Mirrors

“The cards may show you the good, the bad and that which is neither but this story is only all kinds of great. Magic, political intrigue, fascinating religions, and fabulous fashion are just a few of the things that make the Mask of Mirrors with its well developed characters an amazing read. There’s also a con, a rogue vigilante, plenty of witty banter, street gangs, and friendships with unbreakable bonds that show we can choose our families and just how powerful a thing that is. While that may sound like a lot, it is expertly woven together to create a rich and engaging world that is a delight to take part in. This book pulls you in deeper and deeper with each new revelation and takes you on a fun, wild ride. I can’t say enough how much I enjoyed this and how eager I am to read the next.”
