Obsidian Mirror
Obsidian Mirror | Catherine Fisher
7 posts | 12 read | 4 to read
The obsidian mirror. Its power is great and terrible. Men have been lost in it, the dead brought back to life through it, and the future annihilated by it. Or this is what will happen unless the mirror is destroyed. Three people seek the mirror: the first has been sent from the future to shatter its power; the second will protect the mirror at all costs, obsessed with its power; and the third needs the mirror to find a murdered father and save his life. But only one can succeed. The mirror can send you to the past, but it will not bring you back. With superb world-building that includes the real world, the faery world, and a dystopic future, this hauntingly astonishing adventure is the start of a new trilogy from the master of the sci-fi/fantasy genre, Catherine Fisher. Fans of Orson Scott Card, Dr. Who, Shakespeare, and Blade Runner won't be disappointed.

I loved this book! I loved the old timey feel of the piece, the characters, and the elements of those different genres all combined so effortlessly. I loved the great plot twists, the eerie scenery and backdrop of Wintercombe Abbey, and the Agatha Christie whodunit feel of the novel. Overall, a stunning start to a trilogy with a terrific and intriguing set of characters, scenery, and plot twists

I don't know what young Asian men do but apparently when they reach 90 they all go out and buy shops full of exotics potions that cater to white men. At least that's what western media has taught me...

The book had a lot going for it but in the end I felt it was just too much. There were so many plots and characters that could have been interesting but we never got beyond the surface of any of them.

SeeStephWrite I kind of felt that way about one of her other books (Incarceron). She has cool ideas, but I can't get into her characters. 8y
ericalynnb I liked Incarceron. This one has even more ideas and less character development. I guess it's good for plot focused people. 8y
