Whispers In The Tower by Julie Elizabeth Powell

My rating: 5 of 5 stars


This is another brilliant fantasy story from Julie Elizabeth Powell.

It is the story of Amara, a young orphan who is only now learning the truth about her past and coming to terms with it. The secrets that have been kept from her are slowly revealed in this intriguing tale. Adept at short story writing, the author creates a whole new world in a short tale, filled with magic and mystery.

The descriptive quality of the writing is excellent; as I was reading I could imagine all of the events and the characters. As with most of this author's works there is a strong message contained within the story and this one seems to be about how differences can often cause fear and hostility, and how the truth is often overlooked or ignored. Amara's legacy is of forgiveness and redemption. But is it too late to save the people of the town of Rose Lake?

The story is told from an interesting perspective. I thought I knew who was narrating the tale but the ending surprised me. "Whispers In The Tower" is a wonderful example of Julie Elizabeth Powell's boundless imagination. She has a gift for storytelling.
