Thank you to Jeff Wheeler, 47North, and NetGalley for allowing me the extreme pleasure of access to an advanced reader copy of “Mirror Gate (The Harbinger Series, Book 2)” for an honest review. As with all my Jeff Wheeler books, and my falling into reading all of his 20 novels last year, I love this new world he has built with the fire of a thousand suns again. I love this combination of politics and intrigue, of the worlds, separated between the ground of the planet and the plane of the clouds. I cannot wait to see more of how he will take the twists and turns of the next few books in the series as we follow these characters. I am well-hooked sir, thank you! It's been a long time since I've done a page-turner like that. Two books in as many days and I still want more. The author does a good job creating entire worlds but involving classic struggles that even harken to present-day maladies. I can't wait to see what happens next, so of course, I'm downloading the next book right now. This is worse than Netflix binge-watching, eventually, you run out stuff to read. Mirror Gate, the second book in Jeff Wheeler’s Harbinger series continues to follow Cettie and Sera as they continue their studies of the Mysteries. While they come easily to Cettie, Sera struggles. In the meantime, after the death of the long-ailing emperor, the throne is left vacant – and both Sera and her ambitious father are eligible. This book was a lot faster-paced than the first in the series, as the girls have aged several years since the events of the last book and are now nearing the ends of their studies in Muirwood. I appreciate the fact that the author brought together threads from his separate series – those centering around Muirwood, Kingfountain, and now this one – and though I haven’t read any of his books set in Muirwood, it didn’t take away from the story for me. I actually find that I’m interested to learn more about the impending war with Kingfountain and to delve more into the corruption and political maneuverings of those in power. Thank you to NetGalley and 47North for a copy of this book in exchange for an honest review. no reviews | add a review

I love how he uses this story to uplift and motivate and encourage us all to follow our dreams and not let fear win. How he writes the story so it connects so well with his readers and especially to me I feel very connected to his stories. They are very relatable.
There's so much knowledge and wisdom in these books one could use in real life and it always gives me courage after reading some of these books to keep on and to try harder to do what I hope and dream of doing as well as living a good life and being the best I can. Well trying to be better than my best each day 🙂. ( )
