I did finally finish this one although it became less interesting as the story progressed. Overall, it wasn’t terrible. The mimic idea is fun and well executed but the rest of the characters are bland and not a little cliché.

The narration was also just OK. I liked that there were different voiced for each character but some of them just didn’t resonate with the characters. The elf, in particular, sounds like a valley girl and not a beautiful enchantress.

Finally, the dialog in this book is terrible. It’s so unsophisticated that you’d swear it belonged in the children’s or young adult reader section but the frequency with which they author drops the F-bomb makes it very clear that was not the intention. Ultimately, the writing is just not that good even if the idea is fun.
