30 Covers, 30 Days 2023: Day 21
For Day 21, we have LGBTQ+ novel Mirror, Mirror by Jasper Savannah! This cover was designed by the amazing 30C30D coordinator, Debbie Millman!
Mirror, Mirror
"Mirror, Mirror" unfolds the tale of Starla, destined to be the savior of the world as the Ice Princess. However, her lifelong preparation shatters when she discovers she's not the Ice Princess after all, and it is instead a seemingly unworthy orphan girl—who doesn't seem to really identify with being a girl at all—who is thrust into the role. Fueled by resentment and a sense of loss, Starla reluctantly guides her replacement, Rayna, who navigates the complexities of palace life and what it means to be a hero, while wrestling with gender identity.
About the Author
From a young age, Jasper Savannah found ways to channel their passion for writing—whether journaling, roleplaying Warrior Cats online, or creating goofy family newsletters. Now freshly graduated from college, they're re-embracing their passion for writing as a fledgling LGBTQ fiction novelist. Jasper aspires to write what they love to read: fantasy, YA, and queer fiction, especially the ones with happily-ever-afters. They write not only to craft relatable queer heroes for their fellow LGBTQ readers, but also to unpack their own story and better understand themself. As they continue to gain confidence throughout their writing journey, Jasper looks forward to eventually publishing. Beyond writing, they enjoy reading, roller skating, and obsessively curating book playlists on Spotify.
