Mirror Sight by Kristen Britain - Book Review

Star Rating: ✭✭✭✰✰

Storyline - 

" Karigan G’ladheon is a Green Rider—a seasoned member of the elite messenger corps of King Zachary of Sacoridia. King Zachary sends Karigan and a contingent of Sacoridians beyond the edges of his nation, into the mysterious Blackveil Forest, which has been tainted with dark magic by a twisted immortal spirit named Mornhavon the Black.

At the end of Blackveil, in a magical confrontation against Mornhavon, Karigan is jolted out of Blackveil Forest and wakes in darkness. She’s lying on smooth, cold stone, but as she reaches out, she realizes that the stone is not just beneath her, but above and around her as well. She’s landed in a sealed stone sarcophagus, some unknown tomb, and the air is becoming thin.

Is this to be her end? If she escapes, where will she find herself? Is she still in the world she remembers, or has the magical explosion transported her somewhere completely different? To find out, she must first win free of her prison— before it becomes her grave. And should she succeed, will she be walking straight into a trap created by Mornhavon himself?

Mirror Sight is the highly-anticipated fifth installment of the Green Rider series." - Goodreads

Review - 

So, I've been dragging my feet about reading this. I bought my copy back in 2015, and it has sat on my bookshelf until about two weeks ago, in anticipation of the next and hopefully last book will be released this March. (I was wrong as Britain has just posted that she has started working on Green Rider 7)

I forgot how tedious Britain's writing can be ,and understand why it has taken her so long to write this series. Sometimes the story is incredibly slow paced and exceedingly detailed, with not a lot of intrigue between characters. Other times the details can be scattered and sudden, with maybe the desired affect?

I honestly felt like this book may not have been necessary, as it has let us glimpse a future that longer exists. It mostly felt like a cop out, an easy way to provide the characters with the information they conveniently needed.

I am definitely intrigue to see how the events of Mirror Sight will shape the rest of the series.
