The Book of Whispers by Kimberley Starr
4.0
The premise drew me to THE BOOK OF WHISPERS. As someone who enjoys originality, the fantastic, religious themes (without modeling a particular religion) this novel by Starr felt appropriate for my taste buds.
But it was much more than that... Starr has a strong use of language, there is a distinct sound and imagery to her words. She has done an overall incredible job with this novel.
Starr is also great at drawing unique and interesting characters that are complex and original.
The novel is an easy read, as I read it in one setting, so it really has the power to draw the reader in and felt like a pulsing story ark.
My only drawback is that the plot was a bit too predictable. With many books this is just fine, character studies etc.... But THE BOOK OF WHISPERS needed to keep me guessing a little more.
Either way, the book was well done and is better than 95% of YA Fiction on the Market today.
Thanks NETGALLEY for the ARC.
