'Enthralling ' Chloe Gong

'Enchanting' Amélie Wen Zhao

A princess. A portal. A prophecy.

Ying Yue believed in love . . . once. Yet when she's chosen to wed the Crown Prince, Ying's dreams of a fairy tale marriage fall apart. Her husband-to-be is cold and indifferent, confining Ying to her room for reasons he won't explain. And whispers swirl: of seven other brides who mysteriously disappeared after their own weddings.

Left alone with only her reflection for company, Ying begins to see strange things in her mirror. And on the eve of her wedding, she unwittingly tears open a gateway and is pulled into another world. The realm is full of sentient reflections, including the enigmatic Mirror Prince. He is kind and compassionate, unlike his real-world counterpart, and before long Ying falls in love.

But soon she discovers that the two worlds have a blood-soaked history, and Ying has a part to play in both. And the brides who came before her? By the time they discovered their roles, it was already too late . . .

The Girl With No Reflection is a lush romantic fantasy debut - perfect for fans of Song of Silver, Flame Like Night and Violet Made of Thorns.©2024 Keshe Chow (P)2024 Hodder & Stoughton Limited Editors Select Fantasy Romance Science Fiction & Fantasy Royalty Marriage Fiction Feel-Good

Editorial Review

A tightly wound YA debut ready to spring
From the moment I started listening, I found The Girl with No Reflection hard to stop. It’s creepy and mysterious, with question upon question building up as we descend deeper into the world of this Imperial China-inspired fantasy. Ying is set to be betrothed to the crown prince of the royal family, but the royal family is hiding so many dark secrets, especially about the past brides that have married into the family, that she’s not all too excited about her marriage. And she was right to worry. Cindy Kay, our narrator, lulls the listener into a trance as we enter the mirror world with Ying. There’s plenty to terrify, but there’s love here too, and I found Keshe Chow’s debut novel to be a satisfyingly topsy-turvy portal fantasy. — Melissa B., Audible Editor

Wonderfully descriptive and gripping text that I thoroughly enjoyed. Really brought to life by Cindy Kay’s narration.

Thoroughly gripping

The overall plot and story was great, but the FMC was too stupid and shortsighted for my liking.

Great plot

The world itself was really interesting and had potential for a unique plot. The mirror world and the magic elements were what kept me listening. Unfortunately the main chunk was listening to an annoying, naive main character who flip flopped about who she loved and trusted, it was boring and predictable so I stopped about 2 thirds in.

Interesting premise but too YA for me
