The Mirrorwood

“Realistic fans will have plenty to appreciate, as the girls’ slowly building friendship and their struggles to find their own cores independent of family influence or enchantments feel just as vital to the novel as the magic.” – BCCB
“Starts as a fairy-tale retelling but goes somewhere cleverly original once in the enchanted wood.” – Kirkus Reviews
“The author excels in setting expectations and then subverting them: the Withering offers advice; the demon prince turns out to be nice; a blessing given to the true prince turns out to be a curse. Fable’s twist ties in to themes of identity and self-confidence with gratifying neatness as the novel unfolds in unexpected directions through Fable’s and Vycorax’s competing motivations and pushes through multiple complications to a highly satisfactory conclusion.” – The Horn Book
“Fagan’s sinister, fast-paced fantasy adventure is elevated by Fable and Vycorax’s warm, slow-building friendship. This thrilling and unusual tale suggests that self-reflection—and self-acceptance—can be the difference between heroism and villainy.”
