A review by absentminded_reader
Falcon Quinn and the Black Mirror by Jennifer Finney Boylan

3.0

Good book. Fanciful monster academy premise. A bit reminiscent of Harry Potter, likely due to school setting. I found the story interesting, but the dialogue often annoying when the secondary characters took over the conversation. Their characters were simply too two dimensional to be given so much prominence. There was a moralistic undertone to the story as well that was often too overt for my tastes. However, I loved the ending. The story twisted, then tied up well. Lastly, I especially enjoyed the sense of peril throughout the tale. I bet my 11yo will love this.
