Whisper #1 & 2
The Complete Whisper Series
For over two and half years, Subject Six-Eight-Four—"Jane Doe"—has been locked away and experimented on in a secret government facility called Lengard. In that time, she hasn't spoken a single word.
As Jane's resolve begins to crack under the influence of her new and unexpectedly kind evaluator, she uncovers the truth about Lengard's mysterious program, discovering that her own secret is at the heart of a sinister plot.
Desperate to save her friends—and the rest of the world—from the looming danger, Jane must first question everything she has ever believed, especially when long-lost memories begin to surface and the mysteries of her past continue to grow. Allies become enemies and enemies become allies, leaving her certain about only one thing:
One wrong move, one wrong word, could change the world.
The Complete Whisper Series is an epic duology of Young Adult dystopian fiction consisting of Whisper and Weapon.

OMG I ABSOLUTELY LOVED THIS!! IT WAS JUST AS GOOD AS THE MEDORAN SERIESSSSS
okay so- the first few chapters i thought was boring and confusing :) cuz all they did describe Jane's surroundings and how 'stuck' she was. So I didn't get the vibe of the book. Then I started reading more & more, then when things got interesting, I got hooked into the book and started LOVING it so badly. There were so many plot twists and the way Lynette Noni writes books are amazing. The moral of the story was great too!
I learnt that sometimes REALLY good YA Fantasy books start off a little boring as they need to set the storyline and plot, to take off into the aMaZiNg complication and ending.

This was the first book I’ve read from this author and I found it to be a very good read and while reading it in the back of my mind I was thinking any Stephen king fans would enjoy reading this definitely recommend this author and will be reading her other books 📚

So, so good, I finished both books in 2 days! Loved everything about it, especially the way it kept me guessing and changing my mind about who I wanted to love interest to be. It reminded me of the Bella/Jacob/Edward triangle only I like this girl (no spoilers) WAAAAYYY better.

Absolutely loved this! I couldn’t put it down!!

I thoroughly enjoyed this! 2 books devoured in as many days. Compelling characters, twists and turns - some I saw coming, some I didn’t. I absolutely would recommend this.

Never have there been so many unexpected plots twists. I need more.
Whisper- April 21 2021 to April 23 2022
Weapon- May 23 2021 to May 28 2021

This is probably one of my favourite series I’ve read

This was the first book I ever read willingly. My friend was going on about how amazing it was, so when I was in the shops, I texted her “Should I buy whisper?” And her response was “YES YES YES YES YES YES” so i decided to do it, knowing i’d never read a book before that wasn’t online, and once I finished the book, I bought book after book after book because I never knew how much I loved it. 515 pages, I finished it in 2 days. It was full of mini plot twists that kept me going the whole time, but at the end, that massive plot twist just blew my mind!! Love this book so much and 1000000% recommend!

This book is amazing! ‘They call me Jane Doe.’ is such a question-inducing first line of a book, and really sets the mood for the main setting of Whisper. Both the books kept me wanting answers and the plot followed an unexpected path. I wasn’t expecting to enjoy this book as much as I did, knowing that I tend to stick to fantasy books with an entirely new world, but this exceeded my expectations. Noni has once again written an action and emotion filled story for readers to join the characters.

I LOVED THESE BOOKS SO MUCH! They got SO confusing at times and I didn’t know what was true. Such an emotional book, especially the second one, and so many twists and turns. Totally recommend!!
I think the books could have been a bit longer, because there were so many amazing characters, and so little time for all of them.
I was tearing up reading Weapon, it was so emotional. I had to wait a while so my eyes stopped tearing up before I could read again.

Fell in love. Absolutely loved it! Kept me up way longer than meant to. Twists and turns all through.

This series was so amazing, it shocked me so much and was really worth it. After finishing it I just sat and stared at the wall for a really long time because of the plot twist.

THE ENDING BRO IS THAT ALL WE GET?? not fair

The first book was pretty amazing, and this was actually one of the best duologies I've read.
I'd recommend this to children aged 13-19 if light romance and fantasy is your thing. When I got the book from my local bookstore, I knew absolutely nothing about it but it captured me the instant I read the first sentence.
I absolutely love the way Ward is portrayed. The act of comfort is not romanticized enough these days, and a wholesome boy teaching the main character who she is was exactly what I needed. This book paints the picture so well, and you can tell everything is very well thought out in the first book.
The second book had some plot holes and left me with a few questions, but the ending was satisfying enough for me to not think too much about it. I loved the plot twists in Weapon though!

3.5 stars.
There were a lot of good things in this book, but the heroine’s actions (more her lack of action) kept frustrating me. It did make sense that she had doubts and hesitated to act, and froze when she was in danger. I get that, but then why did she insist on rushing into danger with minimal support and no plan? Over and over again? She had this huge power but came across as hopeless at using it.
I kept getting annoyed because I could see her potential, but she just kept getting by on luck and other people’s actions.
The ending was good, but didn’t make up for all my frustration leading up to that point.
I would probably try more by this author but not right away.

The Complete Whisper Series is an epic duology of Young Adult dystopian fiction consisting of Whisper and Weapon.
For over two and half years, Subject Six-Eight-Four—"Jane Doe"—has been locked away and experimented on in a secret government facility called Lengard. In that time, she hasn't spoken a single word.
This is a nicely paced YA scifi novel about a group of people with paranormal abilities. As in all good paranormal novels there are people who want to use those with special abilities only for good and those who want to exploit them for their own gain.
This book had me glued to it and I absolutely loved everything about it. The plot, the story, the characters and most importantly the mystery it creates!

My, my, this book really heightened my upcoming expectations in The Medoran Chronicles. *my next TBR*. Sasuga Noni-sama *fufufu
It was slow in the beginning, but as expected, Noni always good with plotting the twist and foreshadowing. When the secrets are revealed, I kind of gotten a deja vu as if I'm reading Prison Healer (the first book).
And I thought, Kael would be like Caldon initially... before she finally hinted the "love interest" thing. Hahaha. Kind of feel betrayed and satisfied subsequently.
Not to mention the setting. For someone who lives in SYD this book is such a refreshing reading, given the familiarity of the CBD settings when they are outside their world. Perhaps this is why I prefer Scifi slighter than Fantasy 😂🫣

This was a partial reread for me. Whisper released in print version in the US, but Weapon was only available in audio form. Whisper held up really good to a reread. I love the character inactions and the discovery mixed with fear of using new abilities. Weapon is an awesome book with almost nonstop action (the book covers a span of 5 days). There were a lot of clues to who the big bad was that I caught better reading a physical copy. Unfortunately the other big reveal at the end lacked foreshadowing making it not feel as earned. And one of the items in the final chapter didn't make sense. But overall the rest of the 2 books is well worth to couple issues at the end.

Oh my LORD THE PLOT AND THE TWISTS?? THE SURPRISES?? I love this author so much she does not dissapoint.
I ❤️ this series it’s become one of my favourites. The prison healer followed by this? I’m going to have to read her other series at this point.
Also WARD😍

This was the first series I read of Lynette and I loved it. It took a little while for the plot to build in book one, but she builds characters really really well, so when the plot takes off, you feel SO much more about it.

Hot damn I regret not reading these books until now.

Absolutely in-cre-di-ble!!
Loved the premise of super-powered humans who can speak their powers and the ones who want to use this for their own evil aims. Incredible villains, heroes, and amazing plot surprises. Couldn’t put the books down. And being set in Sydney was nice as I’ve lived there too & the setting was done so believably. A must read!

I have read all of this authors books, and when she publishes her next series, I will be one of the first buyers.
I read Lynette Noni's other two series before this one, which both happen to be fantasy series that will always rank high on my list of favourite books. Because I read her take on fantasy before this, it was interesting to see her write in real-world settings but with magical aspects.
As someone who lives in Sydney (where this series is set), it is still weird to hear her talk about the landmarks of the city that I grew up around and don't see often in other books.
But enough about the author. While I will always return to these books, and I will most likely reread them enough times that I can memorise every word (which I have done with her other series), they won't be my first choice when faced with a big bookshelf. I found the beginning was a little slow, and I think if I had gotten these books at the same time as other ones, I would have DNF'd them and come back to them when I've finished all the faster-pace books. Thankfully, I am used to slow-ish starts, having been introduced to older books by my parents as a child.
This book is not for people who want to get straight into the action. It takes a while for it to begin, but when it does, I could hardly stop.
Lynette Noni has managed to create a rollercoaster with a pen and a piece of paper. I have found that with everything she has written, she has managed to make you feel everything the characters are experiencing.
I don't want to give anything away, so I won't go into details, but every word made me want to read on. Now that I'm looking back at this review, I'm noticing that I'm contradicting myself a lot, but that's what happens with this duology. It gives you so many mixed emotions and I don't know how to feel about it.
I would recommend this for anyone that is into Sci-Fi. There are no spicy scenes (but enough romance-confusion), which makes it appropriate for pretty much all ages. Probably not for anyone under the age of 10-11, though, because it might be a little confusing or hard to follow. It all depends on your reading age, not your physical age.
