“A brilliant achievement.”

Gregory Maguire, the acclaimed author who re-imagined a darker, more dangerous Land of Oz in his New York Times bestselling series The Wicked Years, offers a brilliant reinvention of the timeless Snow White fairy tale: Mirror Mirror. Setting his story amid the cultural, political and artistic whirlwind of Renaissance Italy—and casting the notorious Lucrezia Borgia as the Evil Queen—Maguire and Mirror Mirror will enthrall a wide array of book lovers ranging from adult fans of Harry Potter to readers of the sophisticated stories of Angela Carter.

Gregory Maguire has done it again

This is a fantastic story.

I love the way that Gregory Maguire molded the story and characters, very fasinating.

If you loved the "Wicked Cycle" series, you will love this.

And all the narrators did a fantastic job.
