Mirage is a bounty hunter, one of the best there is. Miryo is a witch, studying for her initiation tests. When Miryo fails, her teachers tell her that it's because she has a double -- Mirage -- whom Miryo must kill in order to control her powers and pass her initiation. It's a captivating premise, and the books live up to it. The worldbuilding is excellent, particularly in the second book, when we learn more about the witches' community and organization, and the magical system is intriguing andPros: This novel has a really interesting take on magic: by song and dance, a witch can communicate with the five pentacles and "The Void", summoning The Goddess. On an unnamed continent unless I'm mistaken, witches and warriors with no magic live among each other. A witch named Miryo fails her magic final exam, and discovers that she has a doppleganger - a warrior with no magic that is her perfect twin. In order to rescue her powers and herself from certain destruction, she has been given one
One soul, two separate people. Neither know about each other, but when Miryo fails her initiation test to become a Witch and channel the magic she's spent 25 years studying for, the magic backlashes. Her soul is not complete, not while her doppelganger, the Warrior Mirage, still lives. To control her powers, Miryo has only one choice: to hunt the hunter and kill her.This book was a nice break away from the traditional 'warrior women' stories circulating bookshelves.

I have had this book on inter library loan for 2 months. Today, I bit the bullet and skimmed the whole thing. I liked it. The writing style is easily accessible. The pace is good. Characters likable. World building is sufficient. Ending is predictable, but sometimes that is comforting. All in all, worth reading the second book.
This is my first time reading a book by Marie Brennan, and she has me wanting more. I was intrigued by the description on the back of the book. I'm so glad I gave this one a try.It opens with the reader meeting Mirage and her life as a Hunter. Her class mate brings her a commission from a witch. Then they meet Miryo, a student who wants more than anything to become a full fledged witch. Only when she goes for the final testing, something goes wrong. As their lives become intertwined, the reader
When a witch is born, a doppelganger is created. Witches are supposed to kill these doppelgangers to be able to practice magic. The jacket tells us this, yet the main witch character is not aware of it until pretty far in. I read the beginning thinking that the character knew that information, and that's not the case. It wasn't too big of an issue because there is a pretty interesting murder mystery to read about. The mystery solving became my main interest after I realized that I didn't love
A very slow start for me, it took a long time for me to read because the storyline didn't catch my interest or connect with me. I would pick it up to read and then put it down for months at a time, but I made a commitment to read all the books that I had started so I did, it was a little boring, don't get me wrong it was ok just not great. It had good parts but not very many of them, it was a slow go but very interesting how everything worked out and the conclusion had me hooked so I will
