A review by taytaybomar7
Voiceless by E.G. Wilson
3.0
Voiceless has a great beginning, an interesting set of characters, and an overall compelling world. I enjoyed this story quite a bit, as it gave me the feeling a CS Lewis novel might, one of sophistication and meaning—I'm fairly positive E.G. Wilson wrote this novel with a meaning in the back of her mind. It felt weighty.
But for the novel being so short, I felt let down a little. I didn't particularly enjoy the last half of the story because I feel like I fell off a track. Plot twists felt haphazard, and I didn't find myself all that shocked because of them. I found myself slightly confused at the end, not quite sure what happened.
It is a beautiful novel, the writing impressive, and I will for sure be picking up the sequel when it releases. It's one of those books you become invested in, but it has the feeling of an author learning. I'm positive that as Wilson's career extends and expands, the stories will become stronger, and definitively more powerful.
