The Gilded Mirror Vesuvius Rising Volume 2 eBook Jocelyn Murray

This is the second book in the series, and though it is obviously intended for teens, the first book (which I got free on my Kindle) was enjoyable enough for me to purchase the second. I have always been fascinated by Volcanoes, so the subject matter appealed to me - I remembered the sad story of Pompeii.
This installment was entertaining and kept me interested throughout. Murray does a great job of making the reader sympathize with and relate to the characters. It is easy to read the story of Pompeii and not feel like it was real because it was such a long time ago. This book really takes the reader to that moment in time through the eyes of a modern girl, and the deadly eruption suddenly becomes personal - those were real families that suffered and died there - many never understanding what was happening because volcanoes were unknown to most people in that part of the world.
This is a great book for teens who have an interest in history, and the character of Anna is very endearing - sweet and brave, able to meet any challenge that she faces. I'm sure I will buy the next installment - this is a YA series but I am enjoying it immensely.

The Gilded Mirror Vesuvius Rising Volume 2 eBook Jocelyn Murray Reviews

My only issues with it...aside from the time travel bit...was that the locals used our calendar date's which didn't come into being until much later. That said, I enjoyed the story greatly and look to read others in this series as they are published.
Interesting read. Like "time travel" books and the history of Vesuvius was fun to read. It's nice there wasn't a lot of violence or sex - good book suitable for young readers.
Being dropped into Pompeii at the time the volcano is about to destruct what a wonderful adventure with realistic views, I feel as though I'm there with Anna and as from the future trying to aid her urgings for the people of Pompeii to believe what is mere fictional speculation to those living there of that time and before "the big blow." Fascinating!
This fast paced story kept my interest while managing to combine very good fiction with the facts that have been uncovered in modern times. I'm interested to find other stories written by Jocelyn Murray using the time travel idea for their basis.
The last book was really good, but in this second novel the writer has really hit her stride. Excited to see where Anna will go next! Enjoyed that history is brought to life in a way that makes it enjoyable for YA readers.
Could be I was more interested in the subject matter than the English Civil War which was the setting of the first book in this series. Pompeii is immensely fascinating and terribly tragic which would make it a marvelous setting for a time travel novel. This novel was also more exciting and Anna, the main character was more fully developed and interesting than she was in the first book. I also bonded with Cassius, the young hero, who was nicely developed. His struggle to believe Anna when everything he knew contradicted what she said was nicely handled. I did wonder at the appropriateness of his discipline scene as this novel is obviously aimed at a younger audience, but it was handled quite well. Children 8 to 13 would really enjoy these books. I'm way older than 13 and I'm enjoying this series too, so I'm recommending them for everyone. )
This novel is another in the The Gilded Mirror series where fourteen-year-old Anna is transported back to another time through the mirror in her Grandma's attic. I read the first in the series and believe the series is getting better. The author uses many descriptive phrases that bring the ancient times to life. In Vesuvius Rising, Anna is transported back to AD 79 in which she becomes good friends with a family living to the west of Pompeii. She knows that without her help, they will not survive the eruption of the volcano. The scenes and activities of old Pompeii pop out of the pages and into the imagination. The characters are real and the emotions are high. I hope the author writes another in the series.
