Beschreibung

Two worlds bound by a pomegranate gate...

Toba Peres can speak but she can’t shout; she can walk but she can’t run; and she can write in five languages… with both hands at the same time.

Naftaly Cresques dreams every night of an orange-eyed stranger; when awake, he sees things that aren’t real; and he carries a book he can never lose and never read.

When the Queen of Sefarad orders all the nation’s Jews to leave or convert, Toba and Naftaly are forced to flee, but an unlucky encounter leaves them both separated from their caravan. Lost in the wilderness, Toba follows an orange-eyed stranger through a mysterious gate in a pomegranate grove, leaving Naftaly behind.

With a single step, Toba enters an ancient world that mirrors her own. There, she finds that her fate—and Naftaly’s—are bound to an ancient conflict threatening to destroy both realms.

Once this story gripped me, it took a total hold of me. A doorway, Jewish mythology, two MCs that are not romantically linked (how refreshing!), very intriguing side characters (the Old Woman is basically my spirit animal), unforeseen twists and an ending that makes me want to read book 2 of the Mirror Realm Cycle.

It took me about a third of the book to get into it, which I think was due to the writing style. While it's really artfully written, I found it hard to get a grip on it so that I could immerse myself into the story. But then things happened (Toba Bet, which is such a great concept) that I couldn't let go of it anymore. Things build up really slowly, but this only adds to the intriguing experience of discovering these worlds and their mythology. Even romantic parts build so slowly and nicely that I didn't even see them coming - and now I want more. The glossar at the end was both helpful and interesting. 4,5/5 stars Thank you @netgalley and @rebellionpublishing for the eARC! #PomegranateGate #fantasy #netgalley #bookstagram
