Soundless By Richelle Mead
For as long as Fei can remember, there has been no sound in her village. Her people are at the mercy of a mysterious faraway kingdom, which delivers food in return for precious metals mined from the treacherous cliffs surrounding them.
When villagers begin to lose their sight, their rations shrink and many go hungry. Fei's home, the boy she loves, and her entire existence is plunged into crisis, under threat of darkness and starvation.
Then Fei is awoken in the night by a searing noise, and sound becomes her weapon . . .
Perfect for readers of THE HUNGER GAMES, this epic fantasy from the international bestselling author of VAMPIRE ACADEMY will have you instantly hooked and on the edge of your seat.
The Review:
I can't imagine going through what Fei has to go through. If you want a good heart felt, strong and courage filled characters to read about then she is the one for you. I was a bit nervous to read a book by this author that wasn't from the Vampire Academy but it wasn't long into the book that her voice shined through and I found myself falling in love with the book itself.
Courage, believing in things that are beyond us and love is just some of what you find in Fei's story. Its a great story that says that despite disabilities this woman becomes a hero and she changes the lives of her village, those she loves. She never gives up despite the hardships that she is faced with. She is someone that I found giving me courage.
The author captured a world beyond the realms of what I know and she was able to suck me in without to much hassle. I love how the whole book was done. I can't wait to see what else she does when she finishes the Bloodlines and Glitter Court books.
A well earned 5 star book for sure.
