I’ve read a great many augmented literary classics, but this was my first adventure in augmented history. And I must say, the adventure was truly enjoyable! The Book of Whispers is a delicious blend of history, mythology, adventure and imagination.

I would absolutely recommend this book to anyone who enjoys historical fiction, fantasy, or the blending of both. The writing is captivating, the characters engaging and believable, and the imagination that The Book of Whispers inspires in wonderful. And, at a time where dominant ideologies are being aggressively pushed in public forum, this book is as timely as it is entertaining.

This book sounded promising to me because I love things that are set in Tuscany and that grabbed my interest. But for some reason I wasn't getting into it when I was starting it out and it was a did not finish book for me. Maybe it was just a right book, but wrong time kind of thing. That happens every once in awhile and I think that might've been what it was for me. Thank you for letting me download it and read for free though.

I haven't quite finished this yet, but quite honestly it's fantastic. Really enjoying the mythology and lore behind the Book of Whispers and the demons. It's really interesting to see a book focussed on the history of the Christian crusades including fantasy, and it's really kept me hooked.

My only real complaint with this is that I felt like the characters were rushed and not fleshed out enough. I found it very hard to like Luca, and still am not sure about him. Suzan has been interesting but I would have liked to see more backstory from her. Similarly, it felt like her 'attraction' to him was forced, and actually it would have been more interesting to not see that.
