I consider myself very lucky that I discovered Justin Cronin’s “The Passage” series only last summer, so the wait for City of Mirrors was much less painful and dramatic than it would have been if I’d been reading in real time: The Passage was published in 2010 and The Twelve in 2012.

This one lasted a while because it took me half the novel to get into it. In short: I love the world the story is set in, but the […]
