VIOLETTE MALAN
Violette Malan's debut novel, THE MIRROR PRINCE, is everything a fantasy novel should be. There is adventure, there is romance, there is magic, there is danger and loss, love and sacrifice. There is lovely writing, and again, the promise of more to come.
The Washington Times
Malan's fantasy debut straddles two worlds, each detailed in vibrant colors and images. believable characters and graceful storytelling make this a good addition to most fantasy collections.
Library Journal
A well-told secret identity tale
Year's Best Fantasy & Horror
I can definitely recommend THE MIRROR PRINCE. The characters are wonderfully drawn, there are lots of surprises, and Malan's world holds a potent charm.

DEAD AS A DOORNAIL and DEFINITELY DEAD
In THE MIRROR PRINCE, Violette Malan has accomplished that most difficult of fusions--she's given a complex, high fantasy world a very readable contemporary voice.

Malan jumps right into the action. I enjoyed the book a great deal... Max and Cassandra were fun, and it was interesting to see the relationship between the guardian and Max. Malan even gives us glimpses of "humanity" from the Basilisk Prince, and I always like conflicted characters.

[This book has a] strong, entertaining partnership.
Publishers Weekly
A new series of high fantasy and adventure with a hero and heroine cursed with secrets and blessed with natural and magical talents, wit, and bravery. Libraries interested in series sf may want to get in on the ground floor and add this title to their fantasy collections.
Library Journal
The highly talented Dhulyn and Parno are great fun to watch as they wade through their adventures.
Locus
A thoughtful interpretation of the her's quest theme... a slower paced but interesting adventure tale that highlights the importance of tradition and working together toward the common good.
Monsters & Critics
I can recommend to those who enjoy a good political intrigue fantasy. Malan manages to pull off an intriguing story of politics, love and the fate of the world without being clinched.
Fantasy Book Spot
A fun read with a great combination of danger, intrigue, humor, and more. The pace only slows long enough for readers to catch a breath before picking up with more action. Violette Malan's THE SLEEPING GOD is a great choice for good fantasy reading.
Wantz Upon a Time
Another excellent read. It's science fiction fantasy at its best. There's a wonderful bit of world-building here, and lots of sword-fighting. There's love, poison and fully-drawn characters, both good and bad and in-between. Malan's written a classic fantasy novel that manages to be fresh and compelling. I highly recommend THE SLEEPING GOD.
