Chapter 209
I initially entered into this novel with hopes, genderbender is of course one of the greatest genres to ever be written so that’s self-explanatory, pair that with the premise reminiscent of Lord of the Mysteries and well you can’t help but be intrigued! Why it worked out grand for Dorothy’s Forbidden Grimoire didn’t it? However if you (like me) came in with expectations that this story could live up to even a fraction of the original, well, you’re in for a sore surprise. I mostly have complaints regarding this novel, and the compliments I have for it are far too few to warrant their own private review section. So instead I’ll place my weakest complaints first and slowly make way to the major ones. Any positive aspects will come alongside them. First off the initial hook of the story is immediately sidelined, you’re not going to be seeing basically any heretical spywork whatsoever. Sure the protagonist (Olivia) does at least near the start of the story interact with their heretic organization but within the larger story the only time she visits them is to kill a member or under yet more spy orders by the Church themself. There’s none of the promised heretical back and forth that you’d expect from the synopsis and it’s really disappointing. The pacing is also incredibly quick, Dorothy’s also has an issue like this but is still slow enough to retain that general Lord of the Mysteries vibe, where everything is built up over the course of hundreds of chapters. Here however, things move too quickly to get pulled into the story. In the span of a hundred chapters Olivia manages to advance from an Initiate to a Sensate (basically the equivalent of sequence-9 to sequence-7), which is far too quick for a story like this. You need time to grasp and fully explore part of a pathway before expanding on it, the whole element of slowburn mysticism is what gives these kinds of novels their charm. The Magic Mirror also serves as a MacGuffin which removes any and all tension.
