Ello, lovelies!!

I am happy to share this ARC book review with you. Thank you to City Owl Press for letting me review The Other Side of The Mirror.

This was a really great read and a start to a trilogy for a new author. I enjoyed this more than I initially anticipated. It didn't take me long to get into the storyline and I lost some sleep needing to read just one more chapter before going to sleep.

The Fae theme is quite a popular trope at the moment and this one is definitely one to read if that is up your reading alley.

The pace of the book varied between well-paced and at times a bit slower but nothing off-putting as you know the action is on its way. There are also a few great surprises that catch you by surprise which keeps the story interesting. Dana has a lovely writing style that draws you in.

The characters are lovable (or hateable) and easy to connect with. The POV switches between Eva and Bash. I would have liked to have a few more Bash chapters but the story was well balanced and carried out. Some of the plot development was a bit predictable but that isn't a bad thing as the delivery was well done. I loved the little community and family that develops between the characters, you feel the connection between them as the story progresses.

I have questions that I hope will be answered in the books to follow... Like who is Rivan's Anima?

I can't wait to see where the trilogy leads and delve more into the Fae world with Eva, Bash, Yael, Rivan, and Marin.
