'Enthralling ' Chloe Gong
'Enchanting' Amélie Wen Zhao
A princess. A portal. A prophecy.
Ying Yue believed in love . . . once. Yet when she's chosen to wed the Crown Prince, Ying's dreams of a fairy tale marriage fall apart. Her husband-to-be is cold and indifferent, confining Ying to her room for reasons he won't explain. And whispers swirl: of seven other brides who mysteriously disappeared after their own weddings.
Left alone with only her reflection for company, Ying begins to see strange things in her mirror. And on the eve of her wedding, she unwittingly tears open a gateway and is pulled into another world. The realm is full of sentient reflections, including the enigmatic Mirror Prince. He is kind and compassionate, unlike his real-world counterpart, and before long Ying falls in love.
But soon she discovers that the two worlds have a blood-soaked history, and Ying has a part to play in both. And the brides who came before her? By the time they discovered their roles, it was already too late . . .
The Girl With No Reflection is a lush romantic fantasy debut - perfect for fans of Song of Silver, Flame Like Night and Violet Made of Thorns.

This was a very unexpected worldbuilding, yet a very intriguing and fascinating one. A Mirror World, a prophecy, a curse, a really strong FMC, and all in an Asian setting.
The Emperor's family seems to be cursed, and now Ying is chosen to marry the grumpy prince. But before she has to do this, she is drawn into a mirror world that could be freeing or dangerous. From this point, nothing in this story will go as you think. I loved the concept and would have liked to spend more time in the mirror world to see how everything works. However, this is not the kind of story this book wants to tell. Instead, Ying has to unravel mysteries and find how own place in everything. And she has to fight - for herself, her friends, her love, and eventually everything in this world. This is a standalone novel, which I very much appreciate. However, if the author ever wants to write a prequel featuring Mei Po, I'd be in so much. 4,5/5 stars Thank you @netgalley and @hodderbooks for the eARC! #TheGirlWithNoReflection #Netgalley #Bookstagram
Spieglein, Spieglein an der Wand...
Anscheinend sind Spiegel nicht einfach nur Spiegel, sondern es gibt eine ganze Welt hinter den Spiegeln - und Personen, die diese Welt bevölkern. Diese Personen sind unser Abbild und dienen uns als Reflektionen, aber sie haben einen eigenen Charakter und eigenen Kopf. Allerdings gibt es hinter den Spiegeln auch Dinge, die gefährlich sind und damit unsere Welt bedrohen. Märchenartige Fantasy in einem alten, fiktiven China. Chinesische Mythologie spielt eine Rolle und es geht natürlich auch um Liebe. Es hat Spaß gemacht, die Geschichte zu lesen, manche Sachen waren mir aber etwas zu langatmig, während andere Sachen zu kurz kamen.
