Charlene at Quintessentially Quilly: If I could only pick one book I read this year to share with a friend, The Mirror of N’de would be it. I can’t begin to tell you how incredible this book is. The heroes in this story are young teens, but don’t write this off as just another young adult read. L. K. Malone has created a vivid and powerful story that will resonate within the heart of anyone who reads it.
Susan at In This Together: Author L.K. Malone knocked it out of the park in her debut novel, The Mirror of N’de . Take a little excitement and danger, add a little intrigue and mystery, toss in a whole bunch of random animal “mixes” (like a Nuppy: Newt + Puppy), and a few unexplained occurrences and you have the makings for one addicting page-turner! Honestly, I could not put this book down. I finished it in one sitting.
Jacque at Good Family Reads: The story flows very quickly...very much a plot driven book! I had to keep turning the page to find out what was happening. And I found myself chuckling at the many puns sprinkled throughout the book! And then I had to stop and digest what I read...it is a book that will stay with you for a few days. Very good debut and I hope to keep hearing more from L.K. Malone!
