Conspirator. Failure. Murderer.
Seraphina Dovetail is used to being called all these things. As the seventh-born daughter to a witch, and the cause of her mother losing both her powers and her life, Sera has always felt isolated. Until Nikolai Barrington.
The young professor not only took an interest in Sera—he took her into his home, hired her for his moonlighting detective agency, and gave her the one thing she’d always dreamed of: a chance. Under Barrington’s tutelage, Sera can finally take the School of Continuing Magic entrance exam to become an inspector and find her family. Now if only she could stop her growing attraction to her maddening boss—which is about as easy as this fiery elementalist quitting setting things on fire.
But when ghosts start dragging Sera into possessions so deep she can barely escape, and then the souls of lost witches and wizards appear trapped in mirrors, these two opposites will have to work together to uncover a much deeper secret that could destroy the Witchling world…
Mirror Bound by Monica Sanz is the second book to this interesting series. We follow Seraphina trying to get into the continuing school so she can become an inspector, dealing with her feelings for Nikolai, and still taking on cases with him. Well, until a particular case that he doesn’t want to take presents itself.
Are the secrets in the mirror?
Seraphina Dovetail
Seraphina has changed since the last book and its good to see a bit of the difference in her. She has more control of her magic and seems to be doing a bit better. Well, except for the occasional ghost appearing. Her hot-headedness is still there, and she takes a case without Nik. That can be either a good thing or a bad thing. It didn’t go very well as she needed his help. During that time, she was working on her entrance exams, and all seems good.
Government
We see more of the magical government in this one, and it seems a bit off to me. They say that they have moved on from being Purists, but not all of them hold the ideals. You have to keep your eye on those people. The main person in government that we have seen from both books is Mr. Delacourt, Timothy’s father, who isn’t very happy with Seraphina. He also might be after something that he probably shouldn’t be messing with.
Three Stars
Mirror Bound by Monica Sanz is the second book but this one kind of lost me in it. There was just a lot going on in the book that made it hard to concentrate. I am giving Mirror Bound by Monica Sanz a three-star rating, but I am still recommending it to everyone that loves to read about Young Adult fantasy books.
