For centuries, the elite group of warriors known as Whispers have gone through the ritual known as the ‘Whisper Rite.’ These men and women live throughout the country of Mandalay and are always known within their secret society by the soft, intimate flow of air through the inner ear.

Many Whispers are being killed and our heroes must find a way to stop them.We meet the new version of Twig, wise, patient, and experienced. He has inherited nearly three centuries of knowledge from the experiences of a giant shaman and wants nothing more than to pass along all this information. Conny is there to soak up everything that Twig has to share. Frankie is finding it difficult to adjust her dreams of their future. A new king is preparing to take the throne, the country is beginning to heal, and new leaders are chosen.
S K Wee lives in West-Central Wisconsin with her husband. She is retired from the Postal Service and spends most of her time reading and writing but loves to travel. Her first novel, Absence of Color, is the beginning of a four-book fantasy series, Spectrum of Color, which is available through Amazon. She also has written a follow-up trilogy centered on the children of the main characters we grew to love in the Spectrum of Color Series. The Whispers From Beyond Trilogy is now available in its entirety. Since then, she had ventured into a few other genres: Contemporary Fiction with Larkin’s Landing and Lonely Hearts Complex. They are romance/mysteries set in the fictional small town of Tombora Springs in northern Wisconsin. If you enjoy paranormal fantasy check out Nun Worth Keeping where a young Catholic teaching nun is forced to make life-changing decisions. If you enjoy time travel, she has published a romance called Halwyn’s Portrait set in the Upper Peninsula of Michigan along the shores of Lake Superior. More recently, she created a portal fantasy adventure, The World of Vallis series. Three stand-alone stories will soon be offered set in that universe.
S. K. Wee has done it again in “Whisper of Color: Spectrum of Color Book Three” as she masters the art of storytelling and reaches all new heights, making her Spectrum of Color Novel Series one of my all-time favorites—with this particular chapter standing out as one of her very best. With darker themes than her previous two books, “Absence of Color” & “Color of Evil” the plotline in this chapter finds Darby, Wagner, Frankie, Twig, Connie—along with their entire entourage of friends—up against formidable odds and insidious foes as they come together to celebrate the coronation of their new king, Ragnarr, and seek to heal both their land and people of the tremendous damage incurred by the corruption of the prior regime.
With so many characters, and their rich tapestry of back-stories, one would think it quite difficult to keep up with this saga, especially if the reader spent time away between chapters. But, Wee does an exceptional job reminding her readers of all the pertinent details of the story as well as the evolution of her plot line and characters. There is never a feeling of being lost or disoriented, and as the reader moves along, catching up on developing events, they feel very much at home in this author’s world. Don’t allow your mind to wander as you read this fast-paced, well-woven tale, however for there are more plots and plans in this one chapter than in past two Spectrum of Color books combined, making it impossible to skim chapters or speed-read this story. Wee tends well to her readers, immersing them in stunning side-stories, complex subplots, and amazing adventures, so plan on spending some serious time relishing this novel.
Although I cannot recommend “Whisper of Color” as a standalone novel due to the intricacy of its plot and characters, I can guarantee this is one epic tale you’ll cherish forever and never forget!
I have really enjoyed reading this series. I love all the characters. At first i believed that they were to young for what they were doing, but i dont believe that it could have been do e any other way. The twists and turns of the plot will keep you on your feet, and I startled all of my family when I busted out laughing at the twist at the end of this book. I am.now on to book 4, because I can't wait to see what happens. Great job Ms. Wee.
