Probably more of a 3.5. I love the author but I didn’t even know about this short story until I saw it nominated in FIYAH’s IGNYTE awards, and I had to read it immediately. It has a bit of a spooky vibe and I don’t usually go for such stuff, but I enjoyed the main character’s desire to have a better life and the mirror boy’s intention of helping people during some of the worst times of their lives, doing so by against his true nature. They both do make a good duo. Beautiful writing as always and it really makes you feel every word.

It was a nice short story, had quite an interesting world I wish we could learn a little bit more about. It worked well in a short story format, but I wish it was a longer novella, so we'd know more and get attached to the characters. Anyway, still a solid read.
