Review of Mirrored Worlds
Set mostly in the planet Reath, the mirror world of Earth, Tayma Tameem's Mirrored Worlds Book 2: Liberation Wars continues to explore the negative effects caused by the birth of a non-magic child, Kumo, in the magical world of Reath. The constant earthquakes and floods mean that the boy must be returned to Earth, and the Nationals' forces (Battleaxe, Lila, and Graute) sent to retrieve the child from the enemy's lands (the Federation) have been captured. The tyrant, King Solan, threatens war on the Nationals and plans to weaponize the child. The mirror that serves as a portal between Earth and Reath is highly unstable too. With the strong connection between both worlds, the natural disasters that have been occurring, and King Solan's large forces marching to wipe out the Nationals, what is the fate of the world?
In this book, the stakes are higher than they have ever been for our main characters, especially with the dangers that the world faces, which makes for a highly suspenseful read throughout. One thing that is significantly different between this book and the previous is the number of action scenes included. From the beginning that revolved around the main characters' torture and escape from captivity to the end that leaves us with another twist in the tale, Tayma Tameem takes the level of detail in the action scenes to another level, including a lot of last-gasp moments that I thoroughly enjoyed.
Through the characters' stories, the book explores themes of vengeance and friendship, and we watch the main characters' struggle initially and grow to trust one another on their mission. I found myself growing more attached to them, especially being entertained by the humorous Graute, the inexperienced Lila, and the brave Battleaxe. I also can't forget the considerate and fierce Catin. While they did not completely get along initially, they would form a stronger bond when they understood each other, but will that be enough for the mission's success? The story also presents most of the characters with tough choices that you will discover once you pick up this book.
Furthermore, I have to applaud the author for presenting an exceptionally well-edited book. I did not find any errors while reading. The book's awesome editing and its fast-paced nature ensured that this was a page-turner for me. I cannot point at anything that I disliked about this book.
Overall, I completely enjoyed reading the second installment of Mirrored Worlds and look forward to what the third and final book holds. This novel deserves a maximum rating of four out of four stars. If you enjoy suspense-filled, fast-paced science fiction, you will have a great time reading this book. Readers who enjoy action novels will also like this book. If you enjoyed the first book, I also implore you to read this one.
