Jacob Reckless returns to the world behind the mirror, where fairy tales aren't just stories but an alternate reality. In book 1 of this series Reckless, Jacob had saved his brother Will, but at a steep price, receiving a fairy curse that will slowly kill him. Jacob now must team up with the beautiful shape-shifter Fox to try and find a magic stronger than the Red Fairy's.Cornlia Funke has done it again! Her Mirrorworld is magical, slightly dark, and so amazingly rich that you will wish that there really was another world like this. This is a great series that will will satisfy readers who want a good adventure as well as anyone who wants to totally escape into a world filled with faires, princes, and some not so 'happily ever after' endings. Loved it!
