Review courtesy of Dark Faerie TalesQuick & Dirty: Fun short read told from Jeb and Morpheus’s POV.  If you are a fan of Splintered and need a quick fix before reading Unhinged, I would highly recommend reading this.Opening Sentence: “You’re sure about this, Morpheus?”The Review:Morpheus has never quite figured out what is so appealing about humans.  The girl he loves is determined to reject everything Wonderland has to offer for a simple human boy.  Morpheus has decided that to better understand Alyssa he needs to see what she sees in Jeb, so he enters into Jeb’s memories of his adventures in Wonderland. Did you ever wonder where and what Jeb was doing when he wasn’t at Alyssa’s side? In The Moth and the Mirror you get to see glimpses of Wonderland from Jeb’s POV.If you have read my review of Splintered you will know how much I love Jeb. He is selfless, sweet, caring, loyal and a total hottie. Then there is the cunning, mysterious, gorgeous Morpheus.  Both boys are amazing characters and it was fun to be inside their heads for a little while.  It helped me to understand both of them better and just made me love them even more.If you are a fan of Splintered you will want to pick this one up. It adds extra insight to the story and it was a really fun read.  It will help pacify you while you wait for the release of Unhinged (which is totally incredible)!!!!  Anyone that has yet to start this series, what are you waiting for? It is by far the best retelling I have ever read and you really need to pick it up.Notable Scene:His spiel was rehearsed— mechanical, even— but Morpheus’s pulse raced. He waited for the beetle to shut off the lamp. As soon as the insect had left the room and closed the door, Morpheus’s body came apart at the seams— floating through the darkness as if he were made of dust motes. All the pieces reassembled themselves on the silver screen in vivid, cinematic colors, until he was inside Jebediah Holt’s head, wearing his body, feeling his emotions.In that moment, Morpheus gave himself over to the experience, seeing things as a human for the first time in his life.FTC Advisory: Amulet Books/Abrams provided me with a copy of The Moth in the Mirror.
