Sounds of Deceit by Faye Fite
5.0
Actual rating: 6 solid stars
Oh my goodness oh my goodness oh my goodness.
I don't even know where to start.
I loved Colors of Fear. I liked Flames of Courage. And I adore Sounds of Deceit.
For a short story, I paused to take notes a lot, scribbling down awesome lines and impressions throughout the reading process.
Like in Colors of Fear, I knew I loved the main character by page 10, and (coincidentally also like with Colors of Fear) the main character's brother as well. They were both fun, endearing, and interesting and fit exactly the way they should.
And then it just kept getting better. The magic system was fascinating and felt very real, the atmosphere throughout the story was vivid, the action scenes were very well done (as I'm coming to expect from Hannah Heath), the characters written very well, and the emotion conveyed excellently.
It's hard to say if I love this more than or equal to Colors of Fear, but I think it's more by just a bit. And that's got to be because of the religious representation in Sounds of Deceit. It was so real and so relatable, so encouraging and comforting in large part because it was so relatable.
I am incredibly excited to see where these stories, 1-3, go next.
(also with the excitement and obsession that I've got now, I think I've officially joined the fandom.)
