Book Mirror sight care
I have alot of mixed feelings about this book I was going to give it a much lower rating but decided that that would not be fair Just because the book was not what I wanted to be does not make it a bad book Kristen Britain was extremely brave in writing this book I think she knew that most of her readers would not enjoy it yet she still wrote it and for that I applaud her After all it is her story to tell. Book Mirror sightmark To take us to the future was perhaps annoying but it showed one very important aspect What If The Bad Guys Won Yes this is essentially what this book is about What if things went to hell and the bad guys did win This book displays exactly what would happen Something you would not normally read The concepts in the book were very interesting like Amberhill who was tripply possessed I never really felt much attachment to the characters in the future and often than not found myself rejoycing when they died I really hope that the next book does not take so long to come out Because I missed our usual characters and we did not spend enough time with them in this book So to wait another 3 years would be absolute torture 9780756408794 I am so excited 2014 can t come soon enough Omg there are 990 pages yesssss The wait is way worth it EDIT IT CAME OUT OMG OMG OMG This book is going to be my end of IB exams present so excited May 15th can t come faster EDIT I truly don t know how I feel about Mirror Sight Before reading I was like thats right a middle aged man slappin his cheeks I forced my parents to drive 30 minutes out of their way and then wait for me so that I could spend my allowance on Mirror Sight And for awhile it was great not what I had expected but GREAT Britain had really changed it up But then I was like Where was this going and was anything actually happening So for the whole middle part of the book I wallowed in disappointed which didn t stop me from reading but still disappointed The ending however made me look like this which I think slightly worried my parents and the neighbors This is all to say that while Mirror Sight is a bit of a let down considering the lofty expectations with which I regarded it it is necessary to read it in order to get to the ending And the ending is awesome great fantastic worth reading 700 pages But especially Mirror Sight makes Karigan grow as a person and as a charater leading to me to believe that the NEXT book is going to be awesome 9780756408794 Spoiler warning Spoiler warning Spoiler warning Spoiler warning Spoiler warning Give the book chance before you read this review read a sample or something Mirror Sight reads like an experiment 95% of the book did not posses the spirit of series The last 5% redeemed it but not by much I m truly regretful to write this review as I really loved books 1 4 and followed Ms Britain s blog and Facebook page passionately I no longer like where the story is headed Anyway I ll start with the weaknesses 1 The first weakness of the book was the pace It really dragged While previous installments had excellent balance Mirror sight takes three chapters to tell an event that could be told in one You could say it is part of the world building but many of the elements were intuitive or derivative of other fantasy series not wanting to mention any names The story only picked up around 65% or so and it still lagged mind you If you took 300 pages out of the book it would still have the same impact 2 The characters talked a lot and a a good part of dialogue was stilted And most events were repeated twice three times and The monologue was also repetitive not just events from previous books but reminders from other chapters in Mirror SightYes we know we read it twice already. Mirror sightfree fluorocarbon 4 The setting could have been described in less words and made impact 5 While I liked the mini present time chapters they were too fast and too shallow 6 The biggest glaring weakness The whole Zachary debacle He is one of the most interesting characters in the book if not the most His chapters practically vibrate with life Using him as a melodrama instigator is sad If he cannot be with Karigan then it s time to stop beating that dead horse and move on Seriously he s about to be a dad I don t like Estora but I also don t like how Zachary s honorable character is being tainted and twisted He s also dragging Karigan down with him 7 Someone needs to punch Laren Mapstone for being a hypocrite We get it she has to save the world but she needs to be consistent She either sees Karigan as pawn or she doesn t She s willing to sacrifice Karigan time and time again in her absence ofc but then Karigan shows up and Laren starts acting like a doting mother Having her go back and forth doesn t really make her character likeable 8 Deus Ex Machinas everywhere and not as entertaining as the previous books except Dragons Those are cool While the book was mostly bad read filler there were some strengths 1 Some character had good motivations and transcended the goody two shoes mustache twirling villain mold such as the professor for all his faults he was believable and he reflected his social class well Ezra Silk had black white morality but he was interesting in the sense that he made the plot move forward Cade was good as a Weapon and as a love interest but I would say Karigan s motivations for being with him were not right and it s regretful 2 The biggest success for me was Raven He completely stole every scene he was in I also liked him than Condor I think the way he was written was beautiful and dynamic His end was the only one that affected me and I wished she could have taken him back 3 The witch and the dragons. Mirror sight crossword should have been malicious 4 The mirror Sight that s a cool trick Terrible yet so full of plot armor potential That being said I m sure other people will feel differently about Mirror Sight Give it a chance and see how it goes for you 2 5 Stars One star for Raven and one star for the last chapters the parts without melodrama Finished in 4 days With lots of paragraph skimming and chapter skipping toward the end ps Sadly the series has gone from instant pre order to read reviews before buying Maybe if the story had ended as a trilogy like it was intended the plot would have wrapped up nicely without silly shipping 9780756408794 the releasing date is known I think I will die from happiness _ edit Time travel 3 Am I dead and is this heaven edit2 Not enough sleep not enough work done but hell yeah In the end Mirror sight felt like interlude than a book with real progress still I can see how the character changed during this book and it was awesome So the most obvious questions now is When can I expect the next book And please don t let me wait for another 3 years 9780756408794 This does not belong in the series its not what the first Green Rider was about and does not have what made the first book so good Most of the people that rated it did so before they even read the book The important parts of the first few books were cut off in this one particularly a subplot the author has trumped up for years Although apparently its good enough to sell the book but not a good enough subplot to finish properly although I dont know why you invest so much in the first few books only to kill it in the 5th Im considering not reading the rest of this series. Mirror Sight booklet 1 3 is a complete enough package in the world I liked best 9780756408794

Mirror sight science fiction fantasy novels During that spell fueled war Sacoridia was besieged by the sorcerous armies of the Arcosian Empire led by Mornhavon the Black When Sacoridia finally triumphed Mornhavon resorted to dark magic that rendered his twisted spirit immortal Determined to keep the realm safe from this terrifying enemy multitudes of Sacoridian magicians sacrificed their lives to build the immense D Yer Wall imprisoning the dangerous spirit of Mornhavon in Blackveil Forest which uncontrolled magic had mutated into a perilous and unnatural place. Science fiction fantasy mirror sighting For over a thousand years the magic of the D Yer Wall protected the people of Sacoridia but as the centuries passed memory of how the wall had been built was lost as a traumatized nation turned its back on magic And when a malicious entity cracked the massive wall there were none left who knew how to repair it Desperate to regain the knowledge and repair the ever expanding breach in the wall agents of the king scoured the kingdom for magical relics and information Finally in a last ditch attempt to gain time Karigan whose Rider brooch enabled her to fade sometimes traversing the layers of time and space was able to catapult the spirit of Mornhavon into the future But how far into the future was anyone s guess. Book Mirror sightmark Realizing that this might be their only chance to enter Blackveil and examine the tainted peninsula King Zachary sends Karigan and a contingent of Sacoridians beyond the wall along with an equal number of Eletians the immortal race that eons ago lived in what is now Blackveil Forest But in addition to the unnatural dangers of the forest itself Karigan and her small delegation have been followed by a secret rebel sect descendants of the original Arcosian invaders and during a showdown between these two groups Mornhavon suddenly reappears. Mirror Sight booking In the magical confrontation that follows Karigan is jolted out of Blackveil and wakes in a darkness blacker than night She s lying on smooth cold stone but as she reaches out she realizes that the stone is not just beneath her but above and around her as well She s landed in a sealed stone sarcophagus some unknown tomb and the air is becoming thin. Mirror Sight booklet Is this to be her end If she escapes where will she find herself Is she still in the world she remembers or has the magical explosion transported her somewhere completely different To find out she must first win free of her prison before it becomes her grave And should she succeed will she be walking straight into a trap created by Mornhavon himself Mirror Sight Green Rider 5 Mel 9780756408794 What a disappointment of a book the only good parts were the last few chapters when we actually got to see some old characters I was thoroughly bored reading this book i had real troubles finishing it Years of waiting for this book was so not worth it I rated it two stars just for the love of the first books I was so annoyed by Karigan i just wanted to kick her in the face She was constantly sick or injured and on several occasions doing the whole damsel in distress thing really fucking annoying I wanted a KICKASS heroine instead we got a non decisive watching from the side lines wallflower I just found this fifth installment really lacking. Mirror sightkick I really didn t like the whole new world thing in the future If i wanted guns and machines robots i would read another kind of book I wanted the arrows sword castles green riders and some kickass fighting The whole I love Cade thing was for me a mere mutual sexual attraction then anything else Also an excuses because Karigan is so virginal Their love affair felt way too rushed en forced for it to feel real And the ending was so predictable Cade not being able to get back to the past and she losing her baby and Estora conveniently getting twins hmmm Obvious much I m totally team Zachary but it would be fun to see how things would go if Cade did return to the past I think that would give Zachary an incentive to do something about his feelings. Mirror sightline payments This book didn t answer any of my questions or satisfy me in anyway Now we have to wait another 3 4 years Fucking crap I m pissed I m literally 9780756408794 I wavered between giving this 4 or 5 stars Due to fairness to the book and author I decided to force myself to objectively evaluate the book on its own merits From this perspective I feel that 5 stars is well deserved. Mirror Sight book I would be remiss however to fail to qualify that overall I can t help but be somewhat disappointed While this book is an excellent read it seems like a standalone or a book that is part of a different series altogether While I understand how why this book fits into the overall story arc it didn t serve to actually move the overall plot threads forward It was almost like a side trip or a deviation from the main story arc in that at the end of MS though a lot of stuff happened in the book itself that was interesting and exciting I feel like nothing actually happened to the overreaching story line. Mirror Sight booker I would definitely recommend this book to any fellow readers especially ones who like steampunk type fantasy I would hate for my ambivalence over this installment to discourage anyone from reading it The disconnect lies in the difference around what I thought about the book a 5 star read versus what I felt about the book I was so excited to get my greedy little hands on Mirror Sight to see where this story was heading find answers to long awaited questions and revisit the characters I had grown to love Alas all my anticipation on those aspects were for naught thus my feelings of disappointment and even a little touch of sadness Sadness because when I think about waiting another 2 3 years to finally get the plot development I was so excitedly anticipating in this installment all I can do is sigh I sincerely hope I feel different when the next one comes out and my fervor is renewed but at this point I m a little sad because I feel like now after all I care about this series a little bit less and where it is going than I did when I picked this one up While I enjoyed reading the book itself I am losing interest on the previous story line that I was so desperate to learn about only days ago When I finished BV I wanted the next one so much that the longing was strong enough to carry me over the next couple of years to this moment and not because of that terrible cliff hanger but because the story itself left me wanting After MS I just don t feel that same way and that lack itself is what has made me sad. Kindle Mirror sightmark One thing I really enjoyed about the book was its originality I can honestly say even after all the pre release speculation that man I did not see that coming It was truly a unique experience If Ms Britain ever wants to start writing a steampunk fantasy series I want to be along for the ride This new world that Karigan found herself in was strange and disturbing yet written in a way that you believed that the possibility for such a future was real Her world building attempt at a far out there idea was successfully anchored in plausibility by the realistic people she created that inhabited this strange possible thread of time 9780756408794 Warning This reviewrant contains sarcasm bad language sarcasm and a liberal use of quotation marks. Book Mirror sight Dear Ms BritainCONGRATULATIONS You have finally managed to piss me off to the point where it became imperative that I emerge from review retirement to yell at you in a public forum I have stuck with you through derivative writing GRRM level work outputs incredibly annoying plot twists and smug condescension to your readers but Mirror Sight has turned into the straw that broke the camel s back Imagine if you will Ms Britain that you have spent the last year taking a course in medieval history It is a reasonably good course and you have spent a fair amount of research effort and money in the course of your studies However when you appear for the exam it turns out much to your horror that they are quizzing you on an entirely different subject say theoretical physics What are your emotions at this moment At first you are merely puzzled and confused once realization dawns you still have faith in the system a strong and honest belief that things will sort themselves out and once you have explained the correct course of events will come back on track But as matters proceed you find that there is NO rescue for you that you are indeed stuck in this nightmare and so you do your best plough through this trial by fire and emerge on the other side with a fury boiling through your system but also a certain amount of triumph at having survived the ordeal At which time your professor pats you on the back announces that it was all a practical joke and NOW it is time for you to get back in there and write the actual exam Speechless with fury Imagine how your fans felt when this travesty of a Green Rider novel suddenly landed on their bookshelves I understand perfectly your dilemma You contracted to write a four book series and had your plotlines neatly laid out for those four books Then that most seductive of temptresses success beckoned and you fell into her trap Here you were stuck with a series that was suddenly double the length your fans were in love with the subplot that least appealed to your intellectual side and worst of all what you really really wanted to do was chuck the damn Green Rider series and focus on the new idea setting your brain on fire a steampunk fantasy with sufficient ideological and philosophical undertones to satisfy your quest for intellectualism And of course the logical reasonable thing to do you felt was to just write the awesome new book using the same old characters Genius Not I think your fans like d you enough to be willing to read a non Green Rider book if you had written it as such And really as a stand alone I would probably have given Mirror Sight three maybe four stars But when people who have been left dangling by a hideous cliffhanger ending wait almost four years to find out what happened to the characters they love IN THE WORLD THEY LOVE then nobody really gives a flying you know what about an alternate universe that gets destroyed in about NINE HUNDRED PAGES anyway Now let s talk about your intellectual hypocrisy Again Ms Britain I understand your dilemma I may not sympathize at all but I assure you I DO understand You don t want to be a girl fantasy writer You want to be a serious fantasy writer It s hard to fool yourself into thinking you are a serious fantasy writer when all people want to know is whether your star crossed protagonists are going to get together and when your books all seem like Tolkein rip offs But Nobody held a gun to your head and forced you to write the romance subplot Despite the fact that it is the only original idea in your whole entire series Still There are a million ways you could have terminated that subplot up to and including in this very book However YOU are choosing not to You are choosing not to because you know not even all that deep down that Zachary Karigan shippers form the majority of your fanbase and so leaving them still longing for each other even at the cost of diminishing all alleged character growth by Karigan and assassinating poor Zachary s character altogether means you get to sell books Maybe I live in the vindictive and petty hope that everyone drops your crappy books and moves on to reading serious fantasy authors with great romantic plots like Brandon Sanderson and Jim Butcher and Ursula K LeGuin Also for someone who claims to want her readers to focus on than Karigan s love life you sure didn t do much about it in this book You know all everyone s talking about is Karigan s rebound relationship with Cade can I just say insta love was the only trope left unused in your novels and you finally got around to it Yay you and where her relationship with Zachary s going now. Mirror sightkick Some people may wonder Ms Britain why I am being so vitriolic about a book that is after all not badly written or badly plotted But you know don t you Ms Britain that best friends make the worst enemies You know that you had a duty to your readers a relationship of trust with them to the tune of 23 freaking dollars a book that obliged you to take their desires and hopes into consideration while taking their hard earned money and that you failed utterly in fulfilling this obligation That you lured them with the promise of something beloved and delivered a lemon I regret to inform you Ms Britain that our relationship is hereby terminated I liked your books once a upon a time but I m not sure I like them any and in any event I m pretty sure I don t like YOU very much so that kind of supersedes the rest Also relationship angst can only stretch so far ask those Castle showrunners before people get tired and really don t give a shit any So this is me Not giving a shit any Your former fanV 9780756408794 plot spoilers Let me preface this review by saying that I have been a fan of The Green Rider series from the beginning Britain has an excellent writing style that hooks you in leaves you wanting I love this series This book was well written and had it been a stand alone title or a much much shorter novella I might have enjoyed it. Mirror Sight booking That being said I was extremely disappointed in this latest installment While it was well written I am sad to say that the 3 4 year wait time for this title wasn t worth it While I appreciate the focus on Karigan that this book tries to have it doesn t seem like this is THE KARIGAN I ve grown to love My Karigan is full of action and defiance She does what she feels is right and she fights for her country with unwavering loyalty To steal a line for from another reviewer this Karigan was too twilight teen angst for me She seemed to sit back and let the action happen a meek side of Karigan that was brought on by Morphia but seems to continue for too long About the only true defiance stems from saving the supposed green rider horse Raven. Mirror sighthealth primary I was hoping that this book would continue the story forward for the war with the second empire the Karigan Zachary Estora story line Estral s lost voice the crumbling Wall the new riders being called forward The Eletians and their sleepers her connection to Westrion Karigan s swordmaster training and her link to the Weapons I wanted the Green Rider world Instead I got post Industrial Revolution lacking in Magic action and really any storyline interest I tried to drum up I like that the book was written to focus on Karigan but part of what makes her Karigan is her interactions with the other characters in Sacordia Her interactions with the characters in the Empire seemed to feel forced and one dimensional Yes Karigan finds love but it seems born out of loneliness and attraction to the one person in the Empire that listens to her Cade It didn t ever feel like the back and forth that we see with her and Zachary that seems to be never ending though Now I ll be the first to admit that I m definitely team Zachary but had the character of Cade really stood a chance of not getting predictably killed off by Britain maybe I could have gotten excited by Cade on second thought no still team Zachary sorry. Mirror sightkick I feel like the whole Cade Karigan love plot was forced simply for Estora to have twins as there is no other point to mentioning Karigan s potential pregnancy then ripping it away from her the minute she arrives and Estora doubles over in pain except for adding a previously unmentioned second child Subtle plot twist for future books it was not But once again giving Estora what should have been Karigan s seems to be a running theme Then for Karigan to spend the last 30 pages having gone mad because of the time travel to lose a child that could not have existed in the first place to lose love that can t be remembered to lose her eyesight to lose months in Sacordia for all to think her dead and grieve just seems like too much for 30 pages Not to mention summing up all the other 870 pages by tossing her into the abyss for a 5second chat with Westrion naming her his Avatar which we knew from previous books Forced much This book doesn t answer many if any questions for me for those who said it answered your questions what were they It doesn t carry the series forward To spend 800 pages on a story only to erase almost all of it in the last 30 seemed to tell the reader it was a filler book that it didn t matter that none of it was important And now I m sure we ll have to wait the predictable 3 4 years for the next one to come out My only hope is that if I decide to read it that I like it better than this one 9780756408794
