So I don't really like horror or scary books in general, but I growing love them in middle grade books. Dead Voices has all the reasons why. There is just something special about kids who are going through a spooky situation and trying to navigate very adult fears and bravery. These kids feel real, yet still have this remarkable strength to even consider facing the spooky elements of this story.
Katherine Arden is an amazing storyteller and weaves in secrets and ties the plot together seamlessly. I was pleasantly surprised that I audibly gasped a few times. (Some at scary points and other at unexpected plot twists) The amount of scary was perfect. It had moments that still made me look over my shoulder as an adult, but not to the point that I was legitimately scared.
I am very excited to see where these characters go forward and also thinking I need to read the author's YA books..

i found its first half a bit more spookier than the second, i think not knowing what the cause is, made the first book small spaces scarier and the same holds true for the start of this book... saying that i still loved the descriptions and how vividly i could picture everything! great winter read

Acum ceva timp am citit primul volum din tetralogia/cvartetul Small Spaces de Katherine Arden și am zis că am de gând să termin seria, se pare că în martie a fost momentul. În Dead Voices, Ollie, Coco și Brian ajung într-o stațiune de ski, unde brusc se întrerupe curentul, animalele împăiate par să se miște în diferite locuri, iar Ollie și Coco văd în vis o fetiță ce-și caută oasele. Află că pensiunea la care se cazează a fost cândva un orfelinat, iar odată ce acesta s-a închis, un adevăr sumbru a ieșit la suprafață.
Tare mult mi-a plăcut acest volum - la fel de mult ca primul, pentru că are de toate: suspans, mister, evenimente ce te fac să fii prins în poveste și să vrei să rămâi acolo. Katherine Arden are un stil minunat de a scrie și, deși volumul e middle grade, pe mine m-a înfricoșat destul de mult pe alocuri. Vi-l recomand dacă vă plac poveștile cu fantome.
