Richelle Mead
From Richelle Mead, the number one internationally best-selling author of Vampire Academy and Bloodlines, comes a breathtaking new fantasy perfect for fans of Leigh Bardugo, Laini Taylor, and Sabaa Tahir.
For as long as Fei can remember, there has been no sound in her village, where rocky terrain and frequent avalanches prevent residents from self-sustaining. Fei and her people are at the mercy of a zipline that carries food up the treacherous cliffs from Beiguo, a mysterious faraway kingdom.
When villagers begin to lose their sight, deliveries from the zipline shrink and many go hungry. Fei’s home, the people she loves, and her entire existence is plunged into crisis, under threat of darkness and starvation.
But soon Fei is awoken in the night by a searing noise, and sound becomes her weapon.
Richelle Mead takes listeners on a triumphant journey from the peak of Fei’s jagged mountain village to the valley of Beiguo, where a startling truth and an unlikely romance will change her life forever...

The plot was interesting enough. I liked the premise anyway. There were a few holes that never quite resolved themselves, like what triggered Fei's hearing to return. The King and the people keeping the village in enslavement were never fully realized. I felt they were evil for evil sake, which does't make for an interesting story.
The narrator was really good. She was convincing and rode the line between and accent and good pronunciation well. I would listen to her again.
So while it kills me to say this, Soundless was a disappointment. If only because I know the author is capable of so much more.

I am very surprised at the low ratings this story received. I do not know if it because I heard the audio version and it added so much depth to this story or that people were just expecting something different but I truly loved this story and Fei's journey to save her people.
I do not feel there was a lack of world building. I think the story was steeped in tradition, beauty and strength.
The narrator was simply perfect! I do not think they could have chosen anyone more suited for this story. She added so much to an already great story! I was transported to this new world and made to feel part of it. Fei's struggles were my struggles, here loss was my loss, her triumphs were my triumphs!
Another reason I loved this story so much is that I am watching a similar story come to life in my own world. My daughters boyfriend is slowly regaining his sight after years of being completely color blind from a tragic accident! I am watching as he is seeing the world again for the first time, experiencing new things, dealing with how overwhelming it is to have so much stimulus again in his life and Richelle's description of Fei regaining her hearing is so much a reflection of his journey! It helped me so much to know where he is coming from and has allowed me to help him on his journey.
My favorite audiobook so far!!!

The book was okay but I felt this book was very misleading and the ending just kinda comes out of left field with not much build up or hints throughout the story.
Misleading description of the book

If your expectations going in are for well developed characters with charisma and charm with an interesting story line to support them then you will probably not like this book. Otherwise, I hope you enjoy it more that I did!
Very disappointed
