The Mirror King, Book Review

The Mirror King by Jodi Meadows

Rate: 4/5
Goodreads Summary:
Wilhelmina has a hundred enemies.

HER FRIENDS HAVE TURNED. After her identity is revealed during the Inundation, Princess Wilhelmina is kept prisoner by the Indigo Kingdom, with the Ospreys lost somewhere in the devastated city. When the Ospreys’ leader emerges at the worst possible moment, leaving Wil’s biggest ally on his deathbed, she must become Black Knife to set things right. 
HER MAGIC IS UNCONTROLLABLE. Wil’s power is to animate, not to give true life, but in the wraithland she commanded a cloud of wraith mist to save herself, and later ordered it solid. Now there is a living boy made of wraith—destructive and deadly, and willing to do anything for her.
HER HEART IS TORN. Though she’s ready for her crown, declaring herself queen means war. Caught between what she wants and what is right, Wilhelmina realizes the throne might not even matter. Everyone thought the wraith was years off, but already it’s destroying Indigo Kingdom villages. If she can’t protect both kingdoms, soon there won’t be a land to rule.


Thoughts and Opinions:
Image result for the mirror king          This is the second book to The Orphan Queen, it starts off right where the firs book ends, so it was easy for me to catch up with what's happening. First things first, I had a fun time reading the second book, I feel like there was good character growth. I totally fell in looove with a character I wouldn't have thought I would. Wil and Tobiah, have a lot to work on in order for Wil to take her throne without any uprisings, or any troubles. The problem is that there are lots of misguided people, and one of them is the overlord of Aecor, which is Tobiah's uncle. Needless to say, they have a lot of things they need to do. Throughout the book, I was laughing because the Wraith, is literally me on some levels. I enjoyed the humour and the romance in the book.
          The plot, is another story itself. I figured that there would be issues a long the way, but I didn't expect them to be that huge of a problem. I got blindsided on 3 points in the book and I got so hooked, I couldn't put the book down. I think what made me really like this book is the ending. Yes it wasn't what I would've wanted it to end, but I love that the author was willing to make that extra step to deliver a big ending. So, overall, I loved the whole series and I think that Jodi Meadows did a really good job tying the loose ends.
