Whispers in the Waters (Blood of the Fae) by Sarah Chilson – Review by Rebeca Elliott Figueiras

Whispers in the Waters by Sarah Chislon
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

The is a short prequel which seems to prepare us for the later series by introducing the main character Jessa and allows us to get to know her as the story progresses. We come to know her secrets and fears and her past and leaves us speculating what will happen next. Jessa’s compassion and concerns make her a relatable character and her relationships with those around her feel real to me.
I thought the world created was well-written and the combination of the more unique fae elements with the better known and ‘real’ world was captivating. I enjoyed the period setting and how the pressures of societal norms incorporated the fantasy (fae) side of things. It was clear to me that this prequel only dipped its toe into the waters of the world building and character development, and I am keen to read more about Jessa and the challenges she faces.
I look forward to reading the rest of this series and can see it becoming a favourite of mine if this book is anything to go on!
