About the book

Prepare to enter the Mirrorscape–a world where the bizarre is commonplace and logic makes no sense.

Melkin Womper is thrilled to escape his dull future as a village weaver and develop his artistic talent when he’s apprenticed to Ambrosius Blenk, one of Vlam’s most famous masters. Mel is especially excited by the colors that he’ll be able to use, since color is a very expensive Pleasure, strictly controlled by the sinister Fifth Mystery.

Mel can’t wait to enjoy the wonders of the grand city and begin his important work for Blenk. Instead, his dreams are quickly crushed by the reality of days filled with unimportant tasks and bullying by the other apprentices whose wealthy families have purchased their positions. Still, the promise of working under the great Blenk and studying his legendary paintings makes the misery bearable.

But when Mel and his new friends, Ludo and Wren, inadvertently stumble into a battle between the Fifth Mystery and the Rainbow Rebellion, an underground band fighting to make Pleasures affordable for all, the trio must step through Blenk’s paintings into the Mirrorscape. In this alternative world, the friends encounter monsters, mazes, talking houses, angels, and more.

Hugely original and deeply compelling, Mirrorscape is a thrilling adventure filled with the beautiful and the bizarre, the fantastical and the frightening, and entry into an incredibly visual, secret world, where the ultimate weapons are pigment, a paintbrush, and the power of imagination.

    Extrem fantasievoll

    Ich hätte nie gedacht, dass ich mal sagen würde ein Buch ist "fast schon zu fantasievoll". Man merkt der Geschichte definitv an wer sie geschrieben hat und das ist stellenweise echt anstrengend und fordert wieder und wieder die eigene Vorstellungskraft heraus. So circa nach jedem zweiten Satz ergibt sich ein neues Bild, eine neue Figur, eine neue Kreatur. Nicht nur Insekten (wie es der andere Kommentar beschreibt) . Wahnsinn was der Autor da geschaffen hat. Wer einen Vorgeschmack auf das bekommen möchte was einen in Band 1 erwartet, sieht sich am Besten mal die Bilder des Autors/ Künstlers Mike Wilks an.
