Mirror's Edge by Scott WesterfeldMy rating: 4 of 5 stars
Westerfeld took a little more time to give us this third book of Impostors - in part, I think, because wasn't he really sick with Covid last summer? But with this third book - and the third new cover art style too, going back in line with the recent paperback reissues of the original Uglies series - we get ourselves another blisteringly fast-paced futuristic thriller. Seriously, the opening of this book, with several chapters devoted to a high-altitude jump at terminal velocity? That's the stuff of legend for sure. And then in the second half, as Frey and Col and all their allies lose themselves in their various aliases and missions, they start to see just how warped their enemies can be - and how dangerous the truest enemy of them all is, so dangerous that we're going to need a bigger hero to lend a hand in the fourth and final book, whenever that comes along...
