Review
★★★★★ "A deep story that is symbolic of our world today...The author's world building is superb, and her characters deep...There is a romance here too, and hope. Entertaining? Yes. Thought provoking? Yes." "I was left so impressed by the author of this novel. To write any good novel is an accomplishment, to write a fantasy novel and have the reader totally believe in it takes an exceptional writer. A wonderfully written and intriguing tale, full of passion, excitement, danger and love. This was a truly unique take on relating their intriguing quest.The excitement, the detail and the energy kept this reader totally involved right up to the final page. Beautifully scripted characters, breath taking settings and a totally engrossing plot makes this novel one not to be missed." -- Christine for Inked Rainbow Reads ★★★★★ "Sky Whisperers by Natasja Hellenthal is a tale full of mythological Gods and Goddesses that come to life in the fantastic world that the author created. Yet, don't be fooled as the author's mythological world is different than the Greek and Roman mythology that everyone learned to love. Her imaginative world is even better. I could not and would not put the book down as I became an interactive member traveling with Nemsa, Xenthia and Roux to a journey to save humanity. I was next to Nemsa helping her overcome the creatures, and loving her the way Xenthia did. I was taken deep into the sky and met the Upper Gods or at least their spirit, but most importantly I learned few crucial things about life, death, and love. A new perspectives about old concepts. The author's fresh views made me question everything I knew, and at the same time renewed my interest. Also, I have to confess that I love all the characters from the protagonist to the antagonist since they all are so well developed. A must read if you indeed have an interest to explore a world full of possibilities, hopes, and scenarios beyond imagination." -- Maria Siopsis VINE VOICE ★★★★★ "The book is a very thought-provoking one because it explores the idea of same sex relationships as being the norm in the world of the novel. Love plays an important role in the strength of the Skywhisperers' powers, and jealousy can be their downfall. There is a happily-ever-after, of a sort ending, and it does not end in a cliffhanger, which gets a big thumbs up from me.The two main characters in this romantic novel are women, and there are sex scenes between them. While not as explicit as to considered "erotica", the scenes are explicit enough that I would recommend this book only to mature readers 16+. The book continues the thought provoking nature because the fact that the two main characters are women doesn't especially matter; gender isn't the issue at the forefront in the relationship between Xenthia and Nemsa; love is.
I enjoyed this book a lot and the world intrigues me to the point that I hope the author revisits it in the future. If she does, I'd love to journey back and see what the landscape looks like." -- HR Duby for Romance Authors that Rock
