Fearless

Mirrorworld

By: Cornelia Funke

Narrated by: Elliot Hill

Jacob Reckless returns once again to the Mirrorworld--filled with profound characters, extraordinary creatures, and epic life-or-death treasure hunts that could only come from the mind of the master storyteller of our generation, Cornelia Funke.

Jacob Reckless has only a few months left to live. He's tried everything to shake the Fairy curse that traded his life for his brother's--legends such as the All-Healing Apple, the Well of Eternal Youth, the blood of a northern Djinn. And yet hope after hope is extinguished. After months of fruitless searching, Jacob journeys through his father's mirror one final time to deliver the bad news to Fox.

But there they hear of one last possibility--an item so legendary that not even Mirrorworlders believe it exists: a crossbow that can kill thousands, or heal one, when shot through the heart. But a Goyl treasure hunter is also searching for the prized crossbow. Jacob must find it first--and somehow convince Fox to do whatever it takes to save him.

stimulating ending

this episode is not as thrilling as the first book but the ending is very captivating!
well worth at least one listen.

Highly recommend.

This was and continues to be one of my absolute favourite stories. I highly recommend the listen.

Fantastical

My 12/13 year old and his mama loved this book and Reckless the 1st book in this series! We are looking forward to listening to the final book in the series!

The Masters

Cornelia Funke is a master of the written word and Elliot Hill is a master of the spoken word. Both author and narrator draw you into the mirror world stories so completely you feel as if you are there with the characters! Adventure, love, greed, honor, suspense, and wonder are just some of the ways to describe this book. The mirror world books are classics that I will keep forever and do not tire of listening to over and over. I am listening to the first two books again before moving on to the third and I cannot wait to dive into the next adventure! Will Jacob finally find his father? Will he be called upon to return the favor he owes? I am very excited to find out the answers to these questions and more.

FANTASTIC

Great story! Truly stunning world building! Action, suspense, and plenty of heartbreak. Cornelia Funke knows her trade well!
