Cat is deceptive and manipulative from the beginning. At the 23% mark, it becomes despicable. It isn’t until much later than we find adequate evidence to exonerate her behavior.

The girls’ mother, Nancy, explains to her daughters that they are mirror twins. How does this shape their sense of self? How do they seem the same, and how are they different, physically and psychologically? Thank you to Scribner, Dart Frogg Communications, Carole Johnstone, and NetGalley for providing me with both a physical ARC and a DRC in exchange for an honest review. This book is best when you know as little as possible about it going in, so I hope I haven't said too much. One thing you should know, this book is weird. That speaks to me, since I myself, have been strange all my life. Certain portions of the story may seem a bit nonsensical, but please just trust me when I say that everything will coalesce at the right time. Mirrorland is dark, and more than a little messed up, which is right up my alley. My only complaint is the story does seem to lag at the beginning, and sag a tad in the middle, but I found that to be a minor issue. If you are a lover of strange and macabre thrillers, don't let Mirrorland pass you by. Thank you to Scribner and Netgalley for the chance to review this advance copy.

MIRRORLAND

Thank you to Dave @ The Write Reads, Scribner, and Netgalley for providing me with a free copy of this book in exchange for an honest review! In the prologue, we meet twin sisters Cat and El, who’ve run to the harbor at night to join a pirate ship. How do we begin to sense that this is more than a childish lark? What about the dynamic between the girls? What can you tell about their relationship? If you want a dark psychological thriller that centers around the imagination and resilience of children persisting into adulthood, look no further than Mirrorland by Carole Johnstone. This is one of those books that is intricately layered, and one that creeps up on you and sinks it’s claws in without you ever realizing until the truth is unraveling so fast you’re left positively dazed. Mirrorland begins with a pair of twin sisters who are escaping an unknown trauma. There is then a time jump, and we find that one sister. One of the sisters, Cat receives word that her sister El is missing and presumed dead. They have been estranged for years and Cat moved to the West Coast, about as far as she could get from their native Scotland. Cat and El are mirror twins, a rare phenomena in which they are identical but mirrored. In essence this means that left and right are reversed. If one twin is right handed the other is left handed, Birthmarks would similarly be reversed. When they were younger they were close, and had a richly imagined space they called Mirrorland.

Poland, Lithuania, Latvia and Estonia were the first to view The Snow Queen: Mirrorlands on 21 December 2018. Promotional marketing between H&M and Orange commenced for the opening in those regions. The film was released on 27 December 2018 in Slovakia and Czech Republic. [24] The city of Voronezh in Russia had a special premiere before the anticipated release domestically. [32] There was also a premiere in Moscow on 23 December 2018. The main domestic release in Russia began on 1 January 2019. [33] Later in the month, the film opened in Croatia, Bosnia and Herzegovina, Slovenia and Montenegro via Blitz. [24] The work for the film lasted two years. It had children as the target audience alongside messages that foster kindness by using actions guided by the heart. [8] At the March 2018 FILMART Asian Film Market in Hong Kong, preliminary content of the film was presented. [9] On 12 September 2018, at the Eastern Economic Forum in Vladivostok, a trilateral liaison was signed between the Russian Export Center, Wizart Animation and the company from China - HY Media/Cayie International Media Group. Andrey Slepnev, General Director of the REC and Yuri Moskvin, executive producer of Wizart Animation attended the forum. [10] [11]Elise is painted even worse. As the story progresses, we find more and more reasons to dislike her. And Ross looks good to begin with, but he loses all sympathy at an early point in the story. but, looking at the prevailing wind speed through the firth on the morning of the third, we estimate that she had already been missing for approximately six hours by the time the alarm was raised.” He pauses, and even though he’s only being filmed from the waist up, I can tell he’s widening his stance, like a gunslinger. He only just manages not to shrug. “Over the past seventy-two hours, the temperature of the firth has been no more than seven degrees Celsius. In those conditions, a person could be expected to survive no more than three hours in the water.” A picture of El and Ross on holiday somewhere fills the screen—all tan and white teeth; his arm flung around her shoulders as she leans in, tips up her chin to laugh. I can see why the coverage is so eager and extensive. They’re beautiful. They look at each other like they’re both starving and satisfied. The intimacy of it makes me feel uncomfortable; it sours the wine in my stomach. I loved Mirrorland and all its twists. It starts off a bit slow and I wondered exactly where the story was going. The beginning started as more of the imagination of two children in a pirate fantasy, but trust me, it
