Review by baraka1234 -- Mirrored Worlds by Tayma Tameem
[Following is a volunteer review of "Mirrored Worlds" by Tayma Tameem.]
The first pages of the book Mirrored Worlds Book 1 by Tayma Tameem can get the reader's mind a little confused. You can easily think of it as poetic but by the 3rd page, the magical story begins to unfold.
It is a multifaceted book. It brings out strongly technologically developing nations and intertwined with old civilization. The is based on three kingdoms Namely The nations, The Opar and the underneath Reath kingdom which is on the other side of the earth.
The two earthly Kingdoms seem to dwell in two worlds, a civilized world and the world of magic. The Nation have a modern flying ship and the Opar has cars, cities and underdeveloped communication gadgets. At the same time, they are still in old civilization and magic seems to take central place even with the Kingdom’s governments.
The Kingdom of the Nation is in contact with the Reath Kingdom and can get clues of the latest technology like the bicycle. The only thing connecting them is the magical Mirror hidden deep underneath.
The director of a bureau is keeping the secret and recently, Opar has been experiencing tremors. Investigations point to a child who was recently born. The boy must be snatched from the Opar and brought to the Nation. He must then be handed over to the Reath so that balance can be restored upon the earth and the Reath.
The task is entrusted to an inexperienced young girl named Lila, a former smuggler named Graute and an experienced giant named Battleaxe. Back in the bureau, they have the Director, Callum and Marlin to support them if need be.
What I love most about the book is the way the main characters coordinate seamlessly with each other. For example, when they arrive in Yorum, they separate and each goes to a separate village/town to search for the baby. Although Lila is arrested and Battleaxe flee war and accompanies the Massak, they eventually regroup just as they had agreed and continued with their mission.
What I don’t like about the book is the way every chapter is centred on magic. You will hardly go through any chapter and fail to see magic at work. One may think nothing can take place without magic.
The book was well edited and proofread. It is almost impossible to point out to grammatical errors. There is no use of adult language or adult scenes which makes the book friendly to younger readers.
The book is perfect for the lover of magic and fiction. Most of the battles in the book are fought through magic. The book does not directly reveal a lot of bloodsheds although one would consciously envision bloodshed during the fights.
I rate the book four out of four stars because the book can be read by all ages and contain no profane language or scenes. I do not rate it 3 out 4 or two out of four because the author did thorough editing and proofreading. The flow and progression of the stories from chapter to chapter are very smooth. The author introduces new characters smoothly and avoids abrupt characters.
