"★☆★A Real Genius★☆★"
This book is a strong, mutilayered example of a hugely popular genre. It is fantasy and adventure, with a glimpse into a possible parallel reality of someone else’s imagining. But it is not a “fantasy” or “science fiction” novel; if we are looking for a category, then it falls into the attractive definition of “magical realism”. Within a “fantasy” structure, Rose Leng has in fact created a literary novel of character and situation.

Rose writes with a hand that is both sure and light. The world in which her characters move, is logical within its inherent concept. It is in many ways not too far at all from the possibilities of our... More > own time, and in other ways a metaphor for our own reality.

A book such as this casts a little doubt on the accepted structures of reality; it is about memory and imagination.

This is an adventure of the creative spirit; it holds together very well, there is a new twist and turn around every corner, and the excitement and hence the interest, is maintained. A world, a universe, is logically developed.

One gets the feeling that Rose had as much excitement writing this novel as the reader will in the reading, and the writing style is clear, logical and accurate.

To this reviewer, a very welcome element of this good length novel is the fluid, easy, unaffected and original literary style, quite unlike much accepted contemporary writing, which Rose has developed.

It is pleasing to find something special in a book, and this effective and personal use of language together with this good sense of character, situation and narrative advancement, all work well together to create in the reader the willing suspension of disbelief. That is the object of the creative writer since the first story teller unrolled his mat in the market square.

"A Pure Genius√" Intrigue and menace mingle in one of the finest mysteries I have ever read.An amazing tale with enigma piled on secrets stacked on riddles.
This is pure genius.Although young,Rose Leng has to be one of the smartest and most accomplished writers in the world of magic.
Originally,I would never have believed that this is my kind of thriller,but I'm going to be frank about it--the most I read,the more I had to read.In IN BETWEEN MIRRORS,Rose Leng has built a world that is rich in fascinating detail,and I could not get enough of it. Ms.Leng,I'm your fan...

"WOW!!!" The word for IN BETWEEN MIRRORS is a rare invertible palindrome. Rotated 180 degrees on a horizontal axis so that it is upside down, it denotes the maternal essence that it sometimes linked to the sport of football. Read right side up, it concisely conveys the kind of extreme enthusiasm with which this riddle-filled, code-breaking, exhilaratingly brainy fantasy can be recommended. That word is WOW. The author is Rose Leng (a name you will want to remember). In this gleefully erudite fantastic novel, Ms. Leng fine-tunes her unique style to a blockbuster perfection. Not since the advent of Harry Potter has an author so flagrantly delighted in leading readers on a breathless chase and coaxing them through hoops...The book moves at a breakneck pace, with the author seeming thoroughly to enjoy her contrivances. Virtually every chapter ends with a cliffhanger.
