A young woman chosen as the crown prince’s bride must travel to the royal palace to meet her new husband—but her world is shaken when she discovers the dark truth the royal family has been hiding for centuries—in this lush fantasy debut perfect for fans of Song of Silver, Flame Like Night and Violet Made of Thorns.

Princess Ying Yue believed in love...once upon a time.

Yet when she’s chosen to wed the crown prince, Ying’s dreams of a fairy tale marriage quickly fall apart. Her husband-to-be is cold and indifferent, confining Ying to her room for reasons he won’t explain. Worse still are the rumors that swirl around the imperial palace: whispers of seven other royal brides who, after their own weddings, mysteriously disappeared.

Left alone with only her own reflection for company, Ying begins to see things. Strange things. Movements in the corners of her mirror. Colorful lights upon its surface. And when, on the eve of her wedding, she unwittingly tears open a gateway, she is pulled into a mirror world.

This realm is full of sentient reflections, including the enigmatic Mirror Prince. Unlike his real-world counterpart, the Mirror Prince is kind and compassionate, and before long Ying falls in love—the kind of love she always dreamed of.

But there is darkness in this new world, too.

It turns out the two worlds have a long and blood-soaked history, and Ying has a part to play in the future of them both. And the brides who came before Ying? By the time they discovered what their role was, it was already too late.

Editorial Review

A tightly wound YA debut ready to spring
From the moment I started listening, I found The Girl with No Reflection hard to stop. It’s creepy and mysterious, with question upon question building up as we descend deeper into the world of this Imperial China-inspired fantasy. Ying is set to be betrothed to the crown prince of the royal family, but the royal family is hiding so many dark secrets, especially about the past brides that have married into the family, that she’s not all too excited about her marriage. And she was right to worry. Cindy Kay, our narrator, lulls the listener into a trance as we enter the mirror world with Ying. There’s plenty to terrify, but there’s love here too, and I found Keshe Chow’s debut novel to be a satisfyingly topsy-turvy portal fantasy. — Melissa B., Audible Editor

it seemed as if the story would never end. Ridiculous plot. Silly characters, even for a YA book.

well, I can appreciate a lot of the storyline and in the beginning I really liked it by the end of it. I did not enjoy how it was written and the clunky writing of the story.

I have to start saying that this book started sooooo good, I was loving this book at the start, I thought the story was very original. But then not only things happened way too fast, but also there was a lot of things going on at the same time, very confusing to keep up. Also the story was going in circles, very repetitive.
Also I am not against cussing in books, but I did not like the cussing in this book, It just did not fit in it.
