Customer Reviews

LOVED it.

Karey is my friend, but that doesn't mean I will review her book any differently... it just means I get to review it before some others do! Comparing it to Harry Potter or Twilight as others have seems silly to me. They have little in common. All are engaging stories. Secret Speakers is certainly a finer caliber of writing than Twilight (and I DO like the books!), but really they have little to compare. What I would compare this brilliant fantasy to is the Chronicles of Narnia. Both can be enjoyed on the surface as a fun fantasy as well and reading more deeply and appreciating the religious allegory. Both have characters you love and identify with. Both are rich and beautiful. Both have meaning beyond. And I love both! My ONLY (and I mean ONLY) complaint was that as someone who shares Karey's faith it wasn't fantasy ENOUGH for me. Parts would have been more beautiful and awesome to me if it wasn't foreknowledge from Sunday school. Oh, wait, I also felt a bit bad for my Leopard Gecko, Jack, as he was a bit like the enemy. :( hee hee Anyway, READ IT! You will love it. *sigh* Unless you are a lizard.

Secret Speakers takes the cake!

I first read this book as an online Advanced Reader Copy. From the moment I started reading it, I couldn't get away from the website! This special book helped me to see things in ways that I'd never thought of before. It has definately made my Top 10 list.

ASTOUNDING.

This book is AMAZING. I was drawn into the author's world of Clovengrave from the beginning. I love the characters. Gibber Will is adorable, Tharin is angelic, Pewgen Flype is as evil and putrescent as any Dicken's bad guy, and, well, behind EVERY character stands a host of compelling personality traits and personal histories. Can't wait to have it on my Kindle as well (I read on the author's goodreads thread that it is in the process of being Kindle-ized). [...]
