The Whispering Dark by Kelly Andrew
Did not finish book. Stopped at 19%.
The Whispering Dark by Kelly Andrew was recommended to me as a great book with a deaf protagonist - and I always love an FMC with a disability (as one myself!) so I was keen to read this. But mysterious magic college felt more like whiny parlour tricks high school with a touch of teacher-student relationship thrown in, and it wasn't doing it for me.
I DNF'd at 19%, short enough into the book that I don't normally leave a star rating on GoodReads (although I've left one on my blog). At 19%, I already don’t like the male lead (he's an arrogant jerk and not attractive), I don’t like the teacher-student vibe of their relationship, and I’m not invested in the characters or what’s happening. Feels like a drag to this point. The magic is still pretty unclear, but not compelling enough of a mystery to save this for me.
