Thank you to NetGalley, the publishers, and the author for this advanced copy!
Whispers from the Edge of the World is a sweet post-apocalyptic story that details the forbidden love of Ana and Jonah, an indentured servant and lord of the territory. While the story was lovely and captivating, I would personally classify this as more of a YA novel than an adult novel.

Thank you NetGalley for the opportunity to review this ARC!

Whispers From the Edge of the World is a second chance romance with a dual point of view. I really enjoyed this book and the complexities of master and endentured servant relationship. Ana's relationship with her nephew was very touching, I found their love story to be believable and I was invested in both of their characters.

Thank you for providing this ARC!

I was intrigued by the plot summary and wanted to see how the author handled a romance between a master and an indentured servant. Unfortunately, I don’t feel that it was handled very well. Jonah was constantly praised for being “not like other masters” because he did things like give his servants an education and days off. But it still felt like they were treated as “lesser” and as property. He also never seemed to truly recognize his privilege or had much growth. Sometimes it felt like he weighed his struggles to be as heavy as Ana’s, which is just impossible with her status in society.

I really loved Ana though. She was very likable and strong and sensitive. Her relationship with Gabriel was wonderful, it was so sweet and pure.
