Book description:
A Mirror Mended is the next installment in USA Today bestselling author Alix E. Harrow's Fractured Fables series.

Zinnia Gray, professional fairy-tale fixer and lapsed Sleeping Beauty is over rescuing snoring princesses. Once you’ve rescued a dozen damsels and burned fifty spindles, once you’ve gotten drunk with twenty good fairies and made out with one too many members of the royal family, you start to wish some of these girls would just get a grip and try solving their own narrative issues.

Just when Zinnia’s beginning to think she can't handle one more princess, she glances into a mirror and sees another face looking back at her: the shockingly gorgeous face of evil, asking for her help. Because there’s more than one person trapped in a story they didn’t choose. Snow White's Evil Queen has found out how her story ends and she's desperate for a better ending. She wants Zinnia to help her before it’s too late for everyone.

Will Zinnia accept the Queen's poisonous request, and save them both from the hot iron shoes that wait for them, or will she try another path?

 
The follow-up to A Spindle Splintered, Alix E. Harrow's A Mirror Mended finds that Zinnia Gray has possibly come to the end of her crusade to save Sleeping Beauties from their preordained fates. However, that doesn't mean her adventure has come to an end, as she is pulled into a story not hers and comes face to face with the Evil Queen of Snow White's story. As in A Spindle Splintered, though, we learn that possibly the tale we thought we all knew about the Queen and Snow White may not be the full story, and in this Fractured Fable, the villain may not be as recognizable as we think.

Harrow's books are fantastic - she takes a story we're all familiar with and completely turns it on its beautiful, queer head and creates something still familiar, but oh so brilliantly fresh out it. I hope we'll be seeing more of her Fractured Fables throughout the years.
