Mirage is a bounty hunter, one of the best there is. Miryo is a witch, studying for her initiation tests. When Miryo fails, her teachers tell her that it's because she has a double -- Mirage -- whom Miryo must kill in order to control her powers and pass her initiation. It's a captivating premise, and the books live up to it. The worldbuilding is excellent, particularly in the second book, when we learn more about the witches' community and organization, and the magical system is intriguing andI first read this book when it was released under the title Doppelganger and I fell in love with the characters and the world. It was a unique setting that struck me with overtones of not traditional western fantasy, but eastern concepts as well. It also struck me as cohesive, with a unique magic system and a culture that truly seemed integrated into it. Mirage and Miryo are an interesting balance of characteristics, with a lineage traced far back, although I'm probably most familiar with
Uh wow selfish much let's hope this doppelgänger kicks her ass I've always wanted a twin er doppelganger that would be so f'in cool !
This is my first time reading a book by Marie Brennan, and she has me wanting more. I was intrigued by the description on the back of the book. I'm so glad I gave this one a try.It opens with the reader meeting Mirage and her life as a Hunter. Her class mate brings her a commission from a witch. Then they meet Miryo, a student who wants more than anything to become a full fledged witch. Only when she goes for the final testing, something goes wrong. As their lives become intertwined, the reader
Mirage and Eclipse are still two of my favourite characters to read about. Great world building, too.
When a witch is born, a doppelganger is created. Witches are supposed to kill these doppelgangers to be able to practice magic. The jacket tells us this, yet the main witch character is not aware of it until pretty far in. I read the beginning thinking that the character knew that information, and that's not the case. It wasn't too big of an issue because there is a pretty interesting murder mystery to read about. The mystery solving became my main interest after I realized that I didn't love
DNF page 163 of 405I tried to read this author before, her Memoirs of Lady Trent series (I know it has many fans), but it didnt work for me. I decided to try this one, but it didnt work for me either. Im not saying it is a bad book, but I couldnt read it anymore. I wasnt interested enough about the characters to continue with their journeys, and the writing scratched me as a little off. Too many named characters are confusing. The author has at least three monikers for everyone in the plot,
