Gr 7 Up—While Sarah (from a dystopian future) and Jake (from the present) get pulled into the French Revolution via the Obsidian Mirror, Oberon Venn (Jake's godfather) is tempted to lose his soul in the faerie world forever. Time travel, faeries, and executions via guillotine seamlessly combine in this entry of Fischer's genre-bending thriller. With vivid world-building and poignant prose, the penultimate title in this series will have fans anxiously anticipating the upcoming conclusion.
Two men kidnap Jake and bring him through the mirror; Sarah, stumbling upon the scene, secretly goes through with them. Now, the rest of the crew must figure out who the kidnappers are, why they've committed the crime, and where in time they've gone. Vivid imagery brings the different time periods to life; constantly shifting perspectives, while sometimes confusing, move the plot swiftly.
