I loved Dhonielle Clayton's writing style and she really brought New Orleans to life through this book. Shattered Midnight comments on injustices that have long plagued our society and weaves them into a fantastical story of magic and love. The characters are interesting, likable, and well-developed. I look forward to reading more books from this series.

I did not read the first book in The Mirror series, but that didn't impact my enjoyment of this second title. Shattered Midnight wove hints of Romeo and Juliet and dashes of Cinderella with enchantment and suspense. The author does a nice job of spinning the tale and keeping you involved. The characters are interesting and likable. I would love to experience music and magic the way that the author portrays them. I did wish that the main character made more progress in her understanding of magic but as there are two more entries expected in the series, I suppose that will come with time. This book will certainly appeal to YA enthusiasts, and those with interest in the supernatural.

So I am writing my review on this book. I loved the author’s writing. She uses really good imagery. There isn’t much to say. This is a four book series, and since I have never read the first book, so I was a little confused. I like the characters and would like to see more of them, but they kept bringing up things from the first book. (I think) I want to read the first book, and then come back to this book. It was like American Horror Story, each season is different, but there are easter eggs from the first book. (I think)
