A propos du livre

Revue de presse

Praise for Fearless:
* Adroitly building on layers of European fairy tale, Funke's original, rapid-fire narrative fearlessly transports Jacob and a bevy of ominous, multifaceted fantastical characters through a dark, decaying landscape in which death waits and honor is rare. Provocative, harrowing, engrossing."―Kirkus Reviews (starred review)

"Fans of Funke's intense narratives and detailed worlds will not be disappointed... Mirrorworld is a clever combination of nightmarish fairy tales and a dark alternate reality."―VOYA

"Dark, enigmatic..."―Booklist

"Recognizable fairy-tale lore such as poisoning by the "Snow White method" and intriguing characters like mysterious Norebo Earlking will keep readers waiting for the next book in the series. Recommended reading for fans of Reckless and for readers who like reimagined fairy tales set in a unique world."―School Library Journal

"Fans of Reckless won't be disappointed in this action-packed sequel, which will leave them wanting even more from the Mirrorworld. "―Library Media Connection
