Circus Girl, The Hunter, and Mirror Boy

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.
