The Mist in the Mirror Review

Well…… They can’t all be five star reads. After a pretty successful reading month so far, I found a dud. This is going to be a short review because I don’t have much to say about this one. Let’s get into my review of The Mist in the Mirror.

Synopsis

For the last twenty years Sir James Monmouth has journeyed all over the globe in the footsteps of his hero, the great pioneering traveler Conrad Vane. In an effort to learn more about Vane’s early life–and his own–Sir James sets off for the remote Kittiscar Hall on a cold and rainy winter night. But he soon begins to feel as though something is warning him away at every turn; there are the intense feelings of being watched and the strange apparitions of a sad little boy. And as he learns more about his hero’s past, he discovers that they are only the beginning, for Kittiscar Hall is hiding terrible secret that will bind their lives together in ways he could never have imagined.

My Thoughts on The Mist in the Mirror

The Mist in the Mirror started out really well. It had a chilling gothic setting that I really enjoyed. And that was about it. This book is probably one of the most unsatisfying books I’ve ever read. It would start an interesting plot line, and nothing would ever come of it. But it would explain what the main character ate in great detail. And it continued that way up until the very end. The ending came and was just as lackluster as the rest of the story. This had the potential to be great and I’m still so frustrated that it wasn’t.

My Rating: 2/5
