A Mirror Mended is the next installment in USA Today bestselling author Alix E. Harrow's Fractured Fables series.
Zinnia Gray, professional fairy-tale fixer and lapsed Sleeping Beauty is over rescuing snoring princesses. Once you’ve rescued a dozen damsels and burned fifty spindles, once you’ve gotten drunk with twenty good fairies and made out with one too many members of the royal family, you start to wish some of these girls would just get a grip and try solving their own narrative issues.
Just when Zinnia’s beginning to think she can't handle one more princess, she glances into a mirror and sees another face looking back at her: the shockingly gorgeous face of evil, asking for her help. Because there’s more than one person trapped in a story they didn’t choose. Snow White's Evil Queen has found out how her story ends and she's desperate for a better ending. She wants Zinnia to help her before it’s too late for everyone.
Will Zinnia accept the Queen's poisonous request, and save them both from the hot iron shoes that wait for them, or will she try another path?

Zinnia is back and getting into all sorts of funny yet sinister trouble with Snow White's The Evil Queen at her heels. I didn't expect this installment to be so poignant and beautiful, while offering a few new perspectives on dark fairytale characters and their true natures. I can't wait to read more.
The romance wasn't good enough to save this. I missed Charm and Prim. I liked Eva, but the romance was just to lackluster for me to care about it succeeding or not. The world is still interesting, and if if there's a third I'll read it. But this was a huge letdown from the first.
This is the second time this year I've read a Fairy Tale themed book filled with obscure modern references. I guess it's an attempt to connect with the reader. It has an "Oh the Cleverness of me!" - Peter Pan vibe to it. And frankly it's annoying. Just as I was getting absorbed into the story, the author would insert a random modern reference which would take me completely out of the tale. My mind would wander to follow the reference instead of continuing on the with story. It's unfortunate because the premis of the story was really interesting. I would have loved to learn and explore more. The fact it is so short is really an injustice because the story has a lot more to offer. Am I glad I read it? Yes. Would I pick it up again? Maybe. But only to flip to a few pages.
