Whispers - Book 1
This was a fun, action-packed, sexy, romantic, delightful read! Recommended on Twitter by Bree, one half of the Kit Rocha writing team, it seemed this was the book EVERYONE in Romancelandia was reading last week. :) I had a bit of a worry at the back of my mind that this could be another case of me hating a romance that everyone else was head over heals for (ie: The Bollywood Bride), but quite happily, I loved it!
So it's a sci-fi, post-apocalyptic, hints of fantasy book, peopled with a truly diverse cast of characters. Two nations, very different in most ways, one a very technical, almost robotic type of nation and the other more future-medievalish. The heroine is a trained assassin from the former and MAN, is she one helluva badass! The hero is the brother to the leader of the latter, the general of her armies and he's pretty damned badass himself!
Not only is there all the action part of the story - plots, wars, fights, murders, espionage, escapes etc...; there is also the theme of consent and equality and possession and justice for everyone that runs through it. And you're not getting lectured, thank God, 'cause I'd have DNFed it right away had I felt I was being lectured, it's just the tale of these civilisations in the beginning of a period of upheaval being told.
It was a great story, peopled with endearing characters, a tale of love and soulmates (which I don't normally go for, yet, it worked for me here) as well as friendships and found families and I totally enjoyed it! Looking forward to the next book!
