[24] Mirrorland is in some ways a novel of escape. Read Stephen King’s novella Rita Hayworth and Shawshank Redemption or Alexandre Dumas’s The Count of Monte Cristo and compare and contrast their escape narratives. Why were these stories so inspiring to Cat and El? Why do you think the author chose quotes from these two works for Mirrorland’s epigraph?

In the prologue, we meet twin sisters Cat and El, who’ve run to the harbor at night to join a pirate ship. How do we begin to sense that this is more than a childish lark? What about the dynamic between the girls? What can you tell about their relationship? My first impression of Mirrorland was seeing the maps of the house at the beginning. I was so intrigued! What books have maps of houses? Why do the rooms have such odd names! I immediately wanted to dig into the book to learn more. Rafiq is determined to solve the mystery of El’s disappearance; Cat is determined to solve the mystery of their past. How did the narrative balance those two quests? When did they start to overlap? A true pirate. Alfida is strong, authoritative, and determined-but she has a kind heart, and an acute sense of justice.

[10] [11] Themes [ edit ] Describe your first impression of 36 Westeryk Road. Why is Cat unnerved to see the same furniture from when she was a child? How do the features of the house—the echoing bell pulls, the fantastically named bedrooms—create a particular atmosphere? Is there a moment that frightened you caused by something in the house? I think one of the most interesting aspects of this one is how it plays with a child's imagination and how imagination becomes a coping mechanism (and a learning mechanism) for the characters. It is so intriguing and it works. The descriptions are also so vivid, especially the descriptions of a house that holds much mystery and an imaginary world inhabited by children. I was transported to this imaginary world and I felt the blurred lines between reality and imagination that the story was trying to convey. It made me question everything happening as a reader. It was such a brilliant technique and I was sometimes blindly guessing each step of the way. Do not let the start of this book fool you into thinking it is fantastical and let that guide your approach to thinking if this book is or is not for you... For me this book was a suspenseful mystery; a complicated, and dark, story, one that generally comes together to provide meaningful resolution to a series of events, relationships, and secrets that held the girls together and yet kept them apart as adults.

I didn’t think another year could possibly compare, but there is an absolute plethora of books that are SO GOOD coming out now and in the next few months. but, looking at the prevailing wind speed through the firth on the morning of the third, we estimate that she had already been missing for approximately six hours by the time the alarm was raised.” He pauses, and even though he’s only being filmed from the waist up, I can tell he’s widening his stance, like a gunslinger. He only just manages not to shrug. “Over the past seventy-two hours, the temperature of the firth has been no more than seven degrees Celsius. In those conditions, a person could be expected to survive no more than three hours in the water.” A dark and twisty thriller told with thumping heart and extraordinary tenderness— Mirrorland is as much a celebration of imagination and its escapism as an examination of trauma and its echoes.” —Kiran Millwood Hargrave, author of The Mercies Thank you to Dave @ The Write Reads, Scribner, and Netgalley for providing me with a free copy of this book in exchange for an honest review! For these reasons, I am going to rate this suspense novel 3 out of 5. If more foreshadowing and conflict were obvious in the first half of the book, it would rate much higher.

Cat’s twin sister El has disappeared. But there’s one thing Cat is sure of: her sister isn’t dead. She would have felt it. She would have known.

While they do become sympathetic later, from the midpoint onward, for the first half of the book, Elise and El are both shown in a negative light.
