review 1: This book took me longer than expected. In Isaac's POV, it was really hard for me to be interested. He asks a lot of questions, and he speaks with a "telling" voice and not a "showing" voice. I really enjoyed the plot though. I'm not running to read the second book, but I will soon. J.D. Netto is a great story teller, but the execution could have been better. (more detailed review on my book blog; booklionsunite.tumblr.com)
review 2: First off let me say that I'm not usually the type of person to write a review of a book. I'm typically too easily entertained to have anything negative to say. The Whispers of the Fallen has a seemingly strong concept. After reading the blurb for the book I purchased it and its sequel at book con figuring for a quick, easy, entert... moreaining read. How wrong I was. Typically I would sit and read a book if this length straight through overnight. It has taken me three days to read 50 pages,and not for the good reasons. The dialogue is the main issue I have. Every conversation is terse and formal. Netto has never heard of a contraction which leads to the characters coming off as robotic. It would be ok if this was the way one of the supernatural characters spoke, but every single character is like this and I'm finding it hard to relate to.e.g. "I believe they are there" Demetre replied. "I left in such a hurry, I forgot to look for the horses"Speaking as a 19 year old, this response would be more like, "Don't know, I didn't check" or "I think so, I was in a rush and didn't look."It isn't that the writing isn't grammatically incorrect, it just doesn't flow well and doesn't come off as believable. I find my immersion being slaughtered every time a character opens their mouth. less
