Alrighty - let's get down to business! I read Dark Mirror over the weekend, which is the first part in a series (which I believe will actually be a trilogy, but I'm not 100% positive in that one - will edit and update later!), and it was definitely a good book. I would say a 3.5-3.9/5 stars, depending on your mood. The end doesn't necessarily have any huge cliffhangers, and I think it's be a pretty decent book just on it's own, but I will definitely be picking up Dark Passage - the second book of the series - when it comes out this fall!
The book is about Lady Victoria Mansfield (Tory) and the aftereffect of dealing with living in a century (1803, to be exact) around nobles who believe that magic is a taint to the blood, and they send their children to a boarding school to get them cured.
I definitely think that Ms. Putney has a talent for writing historical fiction that is unmatched by any other author I've read books from. So, definitely a book worth checking out. I recommend this book for readers 15 and older, for the vocabulary used in it. Unless you are ahead in your classes, or don't mind the occasional dictionary word hunt (or skipping the word, assuming you get the gist of what it means), I don't think you're going to want to read this book, based simply on the vocabulary.
As always, the video is below for more things such as spoilers and what my next book that I will review will be. I also have a segment at the very end letting everyone know about Barnes & Noble's Authorized Seller List, that will help you get books for sooo much cheaper (don't worry, they aren't telling me to say this, I just love an amazing bargain and want to share)!
If you have any book suggestions, feel free to let me know! I was thinking of possibly creating a twitter for the website. You guys will have to let me know what you think of that idea!
Good readings!
Alicia :)
