Customer Reviews

Mirror of Destiny, a fabulous book.

I loved this book so much that I have read it something like eight times. The storyline is well wrought and the characters are rich and lively. The book should especially appeal to female readers as the heroine is a strong character and there is just a touch of a love story in the plot. It was great! Furthermore, those people who disliked this book are welcome to their opinion, but I think that the "overembelishment" is part of what added to the charm. I like books that describe things with enough detail that I can picture the scene. And as to the silly rhymes, even the main character, Twilla, states that they are "weak" and "limping". Twilla is only human. It is part of the story. I just love this book. I highly recommend it.

I loved it

I think that anyone who says that this book isn't good is a true lover of fantasy. The plot was great and well-developed, the characters strong and the scenery fantastic. It was the first book I've read by Norton and I am now a great fan of hers! I know a good book when I read it and this was definitely one of them!

Very Good Book! I loved it.

This was a really good book, Twilla and Ylon are both strong characters. I enjoyed the way she (Norton) described the castles of forest and underworld. It was good enough for 5 stars by almost any other author's standards. I think the Witch World series topped this, but just barely.

She's done it again!

Twilla is a strong character and the story is engrossing. Norton once again takes us into a realm where she weaves her talent and leaves all her fans wanting more!
