The Singular and Extraordinary Tale of Mirror & Goliath:
A Penny Dreadful Review
Clocks that
contain souls and demons that kidnap boys to be their sons. A shapeshifting
detective and a strange secret society. Singular and extraordinary events fill The Singular and Extraordinary Tale Of
Mirror & Goliath, by Ishbelle Bee.
This book
is like reading a dream, or a storybook written by the demented Mr. Loveheart,
who was not born wicked, but was kidnapped as a child by the demon lord of the
underworld. Mr. Loveheart is quite mad now. I found young Mirror, a girl who
was trapped in a clock and now lives with her shapeshifting guardian Goliath,
to be a sweet, enchanting character. It was a delight to read her story, to
piece together the symbols and events.
If you are
a person who requires a linear plot of their novels, this is not the book for
you. If you don’t mind a bit of magic, mystery, and ambiguity, you ought to
read this book.
This odd
duck of a book deserves four and a half gears out of five. It was a joy to
read, and I couldn’t put it down. I suggest you pick it up.
