The characters are a bit stock fantasy (cranky dwarves, for instance) and the storyline definitely takes precedence over character development. Jacob and Will Reckless have looked out for each other ever since their father disappeared, but when Jacob discovers a magical mirror that transports him to a warring world populated by witches, giants, and ogres, he keeps it to himself until Will follows him one day, with dire consequences.Īlthough the characters briefly begin as teens, the story jumps ahead 12 more years, so for the most part, the characters are not teens, but in their twenties. It is also quite edgy, as anything inspired by Grimm would be, but there is also a hefty dollop of violence and some sexuality, as well. Funke takes inspiration from Grimm’s fairy tales in this dark and richly satisfying fantasy.
