More About This Book

Overview

With no magic talent of her own, Anne de Vernase must take on her sister's magical legacy to unravel the secrets behind the dark sorcery besieging the royal city of Merona-and to uncover the truth behind her sister's death.

Editorial Reviews

Kirkus Reviews

The second installment in Berg's quasi-Renaissance fantasy trilogy, following the well-received The Spirit Lens (2010), with many of the characters carrying over from the previous volume.

In Berg's world, four years have passed. Practical, well-educated narrator Anne de Vernase, devastated to learn that her beloved sister Lianelle died in a magical accident, receives an unexpected summons to the court of Philippe, King of Sabria—unexpected since her vanished father purportedly masterminded a ghastly plot to assassinate the king in the prior adventure. Anne, skeptical that magic even exists, refuses to believe that her sister died accidentally. Her escort to the palace is the curiously solicitous royal librarian Portier de Savin-Duplais, her father's chief accuser, and she realizes that she cannot afford to trust anyone. Soon it becomes clear that the former regent, the viperous Lady Antonia, intends to marry her off. Queen Eugenie lies ill, enchanted or poisoned by Antonia, her only protectors seeming to be her brother, the clownish chevalier Ilario, dangerously volatile sorcerer Dante and stammering physician Roussel. Among the oddments left her by Lianelle, Anne finds a powder that turns her invisible and also casts her mind into the ether, full of raging souls—and one single, truthful voice who's astonished to learn that he's not the only one that can communicate thus. Methodically, Anne uncovers plots that go far beyond Antonia's murderous schemes, threatening not only the kingdom but reality itself. The fully realized characters and strongly visual, tactile prose help to offset the sheer length, weight and intensity of the narrative.

A compelling and altogether admirable work.

    Utterly Amazing

    There are really no words to describe The Soul Mirror. In reality, all of Carol Berg's novels leave me breathless and wanting more at the closing page, so I'm a little biased. But since this is the latest book I've read and I'm still floundering in the shock that comes with realizing it's over, I'm inclined to say it's the absolutely best she's ever written (mind you, I said that about pretty much every single book of hers). I was unsure about a new protagonist in the beginning. I was so attached to Portier (as well as Dante and that peacock Ilario!) that I didn't want to read about Anne de Vernase (daughter of Michel de Vernase), especially when she would display any anger or distrust toward Portier. She won me over, however. Her story is interesting and sad, and she does what she can to keep going. As always, there are twists and turns every which way; some you will see coming, others you won't. But it's hard to find anything disappointing about this book. Berg writes well and flawlessly (though there are quite a few ?????s instead of 's in the NOOKbook version), with perfectly chiseled characters and motives, and she wraps up the millions of questions you will be asking thoroughly (even if you have to wait until the very last page). Very satisfying and hihgly recommended

    The sequel to The Spirit Lens is an enjoyable otherworld fantasy

    Anne de Vernase is traumatized with what has happened to her family. Her father committed treason using illegal sorcery when the natural sciences currently prevail at court; her mother unable to cope went insane; her brother lingers in prison; and her magical using sister was murdered. Although a believer in the natural sciences, she is unsure how she will survive the debacle but feels good about one thing that she lacks the magical ability that led to the destruction of her family.

    However, in the royal city of Merona, Anne is stunned when the Sabria King Philippe's secretary Duplais informs her that she will serve as a handmaid to the queen as she assumed the de Vernase name meant poison. She also concludes she must save her family, but not sure how. She hears her father whisper to her for help but she has never been trained in the use of sorcery. Still Anne knows she must start with her sister's homicide though the inquiry will take her to realms she preferred remained in her nightmares, but she cannot avoid it even though her world is collapsing into sink holes of sorcery.

    The sequel to The Spirit Lens is an enjoyable otherworld fantasy that has an Age of Reason historical feel to the story line. Anne is a super lead protagonist while Dante the queen's sorcerer is a grumbling cantankerous counterpart to the optimistic naturalist. Although the story line starts slow and remains as such for a third of the novel as Merona's war between science and magic is shaped for the reader, fans will want to accompany the reluctant heroine as she learns there is much more than science in the wonderful world of Carol Berg.
