Recommended Reading: ‘Whispers of Shadow & Flame’

This week’s book recommendation is Whispers of Shadow & Flame by L. Penelope.

I have to tell you, this book came as a complete surprise to me, because I don’t read a lot of fantasy. Not a lot. A little. But this book is absolutely fantastic and I only wish that I’d read the first book in the series before I read this one. I got this in a Goodreads giveaway, so it kind of dropped into my life. And all I can say is the author does a fantastic job of world building. Absolutely amazing.

What you have is a society divided and obvious socioeconomic differences between the two parts and a leader who one group is trying to overthrow and this thing called the Mantle. And there’s probably all sorts of backstory I don’t know that I need to catch up on if I really want to understand this.

But this is still an excellent book and I loved reading it, even though I didn’t read the first one in the series. So if you enjoy fantasy reading at all, I think this book will please you. I mean, it’s a wonderful story with characters who just are so well drawn and left such an impression. Now I want to read all the other books.

So with that, I’ll just say, that’s it. And I give this one high marks. Five stars. And I’ll talk to you later.

Meet Debbi

Welcome to my writers' corner of the Internet. I'm a novelist, who also writes short stories and screenplays. I hope to share the benefit of my experiences as an indie author with dystonia since 2009. I also post a lot of book reviews, because I love to read and learn new things. I hope to share that knowledge with you.
