The continuing saga of Dearra, Darius and Brin. This book cleared up a few things from the first, in the fact that each book is actually a story being told by Brin the dragon, trapped in the sword Dearra possesses. Now with that clear, Whisper picks up with Maj warriors going to the land of the Breken to rescue Pip, Dearra's brother, who had been kidnapped after the Breken invaded Maj. Carly, Dearra's best friend and Maj's negotiator is along to hopefully negotiate the release of Pip. Carly has always been smaller than most of the folks on Maj, for no real understanding but her negotiating skills have placed her in a position of authority among the Maj people.
Without giving away too many spoilers, Carly discovers her heritage, Dearra and Darius discover their connection and a love tryst between Carly and Daniel the weapons Master unfolds. We also get a very clear picture painted of the brutality of the Breken people. The story is well written and keeps you turning the pages. I thoroughly enjoyed the read, now that I better understand the way in which Grey is leading the series. There are fascinating characters and Grey is very adept with her descriptions not only of the characters but of the scenery as well. I am also very appreciative of the way Grey ends each book, not leaving you hanging in the wind. The epilogue is the segue to the next book, another story told by Brin the dragon. I highly recommend this read.
