Not much plot, not much inter-personal conflict. Quinn is a neat character but falls into the typical absent-minded, unbearably cute twink that Mike Shade is often known for. Bram ... well, not much is given about him, certainly not enough for me to get a good feel for his character or who he was as a person. Pretty much from the very first few words, he's simply "Quinn's protector/lover."
The magics involving the mirrors was awesome, and I greatly wish it had been gone into more detail, a few notes clarified. For instance, Quinn repeatedly says he can't use a broken mirror ... and yet at times he does. Or the refugees have. And, do all mages have the innate ability to use mirrors, or is it something Quinn is just a specialist at? And what was up with the one sorcerer who was actually *helping* the Emperor? Was he a traitor, brainwashed, threatened ... what?
Basic sex and more sex, with just a hint of action to keep it from being a repetitive in-bed-all-the-time PWP.
