Jacob Reckless continues to travel the portal in his father's abandoned study. His name has continued to be famous on the other side of the mirror, as a finder of enchanted items and buried secrets. His family and friends, from his brother, Will to the shape-shifting vixen, Fox, are on a collision course as the two worlds become connected. Who is driving these two worlds together and why is he always a step ahead?

This new force isn’t limiting its influence to just Jacob’s efforts – it has broadened the horizon within MirrorWorld. Jacob, Will and Fox travel east and into the Russian folklore, to the land of the Baba Yaga, pursued by a new type of being that knows our world all to well.

Reveal review (contains spoilers)

After waiting quite a while (apparently, Funke's Original English Publisher didn't want to publish "The Golden Yarn" before she made some changes, after which she in the end started her own publishing company) the third MirrorWorld book has finally been released - another three years after the second one.
My god, this series is so good, why does it also have to publish so slowly?
But, well, on the other hand, the slow writing process means that these books are near to perfect. In this book, there are some parts which I really hated (I mean, Fox, really? Did you have to do that?) - but, thankfully, there are few of them and do get resolved amazingly well in the end.
[SPOILER] I have been waiting five years now for Fox - Celeste - and Jacob to get together - one my longly-yearned-for romances, and I am glad they finally did it, now. And in a good way too; not in the best, in my opinion, but good enough. Of course, after reading Funke for some years now, I know I now probably have to hang on to my heart to see what happens in the fourth and fifth book. For now, though, I am very glad - for me, and for my two favourite MirrorWorld characters. [SPOILER ENDS]
