5 stars - Darkwhispers continues the saga of the Brightstorm twins and the crew of the Aurora as they attempt to find lost explorer Ermitage Wrigglesworth. However, Eudora Vane is once again plotting and planning in the background and the twins will have to use all their skills and wit to thwart her plans.
A wonderful escape back into the world of the Brightstorm children, Darkwhispers not only matches but surpasses (which I didn't think possible) the genius and fantastic story of the first book. It remains an uplifting and fun tale that does not shy away from the darker aspects of adventuring - and caused me to have a cry on more than one occasion. I felt everything with our main characters. It was great to see Eudora Vane become more of a multifaceted and genuine person along with being a great villian. The way the story ended with her is sublime and I honestly cannot wait for future instalments. The rest of the cast were also fantastic and I personally fell in love with them all over again. The pacing is fantastic and kept me entertained throughout - I was able to read it in a day because I could not put it down.
A fantastically written story, that translates well to audio with a brilliant narrator - would recommend this series.
