The Mirror Men

UPDATE: Still waiting for updates.



This is a novel-in-progress by Grace Eyre. Although it probably goes without saying to those who know the author, this is a work of genius.

Personally, I'd say it is so far and oddball cross between Dan Brown (author of The DaVinci Code) and Neil Gaiman (the best author in the world.) But, that is not to say it is unoriginal. Every moment is unpredictable, and every word is artfully chosen.

Now, it may be too early in the game to call out faults with The Mirror Men, but I'm a jerk, so I will anyways. There are a few holes, but I am eager to ascribe those to me not seeing the whole picture as the novel is still incomplete. Rather, the main problem I see so far is a division between character characters and plot characters. What I mean is, there are some characters whom it is obvious that the author loves, and then there are characters who are solely there to fill a void in the story and make events move along. It just seems the author doesn't really care about these plot characters, which means I don't care about the plot characters, and the whole story ends up suffering.

Regardless, I love this story so far and eagerly await updates. I highly suggest everyone spam Grace for permission to read The Mirror Men.
