About this listen
Beyond the mirror, the darkest fairy tales come alive....
For years, Jacob Reckless has enjoyed the Mirrorworld’s secrets and treasures.
Not anymore.
His younger brother has followed him.
Now dark magic will turn the boy to beast, break the heart of the girl he loves, and destroy everything Jacob holds most dear... unless he can find a way to stop it.

Good story for the kids to listen to and Adults
This is a good story, but will definitely be followed on by further books as the story is a bit unfinished.
Suitable for boys and girls.
We listened to it with my 9 year old daughter and 13 year old son who both enjoyed it.
Narrators voice is good - not annoying like some of them can be!

A fairy story.
I don't know what it was about this book that didn't grab me & hold my interest as I expected. I just never felt as though I cared about any of the characters and I definitely thought the narrator's voice was too bland to portray all the voices well.
I really wanted to love the Mirrorworld as much as Funke's Inkworld but I couldn't there's no Dustfinger or Capricorn here and Jacob isn't dynamic enough to make a great read.
Sorry ... just 3* from me.

The potential was there...
This could have been such a good story with the premise and the idea of the world beyond the glass, but... it just didn't deliver. The set up and building the relationship between Jacob and his brother was nonexistent before they had to start on the journey to save him so I couldn't connect with it at all - I could not feel the desperation. It came across as a chore more than anything else at points. And the constant reminder of the time crunch was made obsolete with some of the choices the character made.
I felt that some of the plot points were resolved by the characters conveniently having the right thing or knowing exactly where to get it and there were some things (and whole) characters that seemed wholly pointless and made the story drag. I think if it was longer with more detail and development on the characters and their journey/ relationships it could have been so good. There were just too much that was only touched upon and resolved with almost no tension or need for the character to think for me to enjoy it.
