“Books are sometimes windows, offering views of worlds that may be real or imagined, familiar or strange. These windows are also sliding glass doors, and readers have only to walk through in imagination to become part of whatever world has been created and recreated by the author. When lighting conditions are just right, however, a window can also be a mirror.” –

Picture

This was an absolute beautiful, lyrical read. I finished wanting to know more about the village of Konko, what happened with Joy and Blade, and if Chapel redeemed herself. And what about Storm? While she was a supporting character, she had a story to tell too. Maybe we can hope for a "Duet" next?

For young adult readers out there, especially those who are musically inclined, you'll want to grab this and go! I was inspired to create a Spotify playlist based on the mixtape Storm left Blade. Click here to listen! I'll be thinking about some of those verses for a while. This quote the most:

​"Why do we need mirrors when we can se the reflection of our goodness in the way others react to us? Look at the mirrors in your friends' eyes. That's all anyone ever needs. To see beauty and reflection in others. Those are real mirrors."
