Goblins made good, August 26, 1996
By A Customer
This review is from: The Goblin Mirror (Mass Market Paperback)
One of the best aspects of Cherryh's fiction is the close,
almost claustrophobic environment she creates in almost
every book. She certainly manages that here, with a
fantasy tale with more folkloric and fairy-tale elements
than her other fantasy novels. This is definitely one of
her stronger fantasy novels. I tend to prefer her science
fiction, generally having trouble getting into her
fantasy work, but The Goblin Mirror is a notable
exception. This is one of her best books - and I've read
them all.

A GREAT BOOK IF YOU CAN FIND IT, July 25, 2000
This review is from: The Goblin Mirror (Mass Market Paperback)
This story grabs you from the beginning and keeps you along for the ride. The boys are wonderfully real. The youngest of three brothers innocently follows his brothers into a world beyond his imagining through his jealous wish to be included because he's too young to go out into the world and try to find a solution to a perplexing problem his country is experiencing. All of the interactions of the characters are fun. Not always happy and safe, but they make you smile nonetheless. The magic within is intrieguing, and the young magicians innocently dangerous.
