There’s so much more potential with this world.From Richelle Mead, the #1 internationally bestselling author of Vampire Academy and Bloodlines, comes a breathtaking new fantasy perfect for fans of Leigh Bardugo, Laini Taylor and Sabaa Tahir. It doesn’t have to be necessarily about Fei, although I wouldn’t mind that. I really wouldn’t mind more books in this world because I just loved it. I loved that Fei and Li Wei had some history together, which always is a plus. I just wanted to know what caused this and how Fei fit into it all, once she suddenly started getting her hearing back.

I also loved the unique story about a village where everyone can’t hear and where some people even are starting to lose their vision. I loved her protectiveness to her sister and how she was willing to do anything for her, even go down the mountain. And like I said I thought Fei was a great heroine. I also thought the writing was really good and the setting was just beautiful. This wasn’t a very long book but I didn’t feel like it took away much from the world and character building. It’s definitely another favorite book of mine now by Richelle Mead. I thought this was just such a unique story and Fei was a great heroine, in my opinion. I know a lot of people disliked Soundless but I ended up really liking it, which was a huge surprise to me.
