The Book of Whispers by Kimberley Starr
5.0
Set in 1069AD we follow young Luca de Falconi as he joins his father and other Christian crusaders into Jerusalem The fast paced story is told from the POV’s of Luca and Suzan as we follow them on this exciting adventure.
The Book of Whispers is a book that has been passed down through Luca’s family and it is now Luca’s turn to look after it. After Luca has read the book he starts to see demons attached to people and objects. No one else can see them and Luca does not know what the books does or what he has to do, other than protect it. He tries to read the book but he can not understand the language it is written in. Later in the story Luca meets Suzan and she joins the siege. Suzan can understand the language of the book and this is where their love story begins.
This Teens and YA book tells an incredible story of history, love, war, magic, fantasy, violence and religion. Although the characters and other aspects of the story are a work of fiction the sad truth is that the siege did happen and the horrifying scenes that are described are accurate recounts of history. Kimberley Starr has clearly done her research and written a memorable book. I am excited to see what she releases next.
