Whispering Leaves Saga by Willowy Whisper {Book Review}

-

~ Description 

She kept remembering the gentle voice, the large warm hand, and the soft heartbeat she had fallen asleep to as a child so many years ago...
Can Silverleaf and Willowy Whisper survive the trials and tribulations of their hearts and kingdoms? Can they find the love they've longed for? Will true love come into their lives, henceforth and forever...?

~ My Review
Wow. I seriously finished this book speechless. The writing is absolutely beautiful, the emotions are realistic and raw, and stories amazingly told. *squeals* I absolutely loved it!!! :D 

Whispering Leaves Saga is a delightful collection of seven short stories, all tales of the same characters. The fantasy storyworld was really amazing, and I loved the castles and kingdoms. ^_^ Aside from catching a few typos (3-4 at the most), I seriously have no complaints about this book. Precious...amazing. Ahh!! <3 


Whispers of the Morning -- 5 stars
Such a sweet story! I loved how what happened in the beginning of the story wrapped back around at the end. :) 

The Tale of Silver Leaf -- 4 stars 
I didn't like this one *quite* as much as the first, but it was still good. The sacrifice by the Woodlenn boy at the end tore me up. <3 

Escape -- 5 stars 
Lovely! This was the first story to include characters from both the previous two. It was fast-paced and exciting, but left some room for explaining. 

The Crowning -- 5 stars 
This one included the explanation of the aforementioned story (Escape) along with some excitement all its own. Secrets being revealed! 

The King's Quest -- 4 stars 
There wasn't quite as much to this one as the others, but it was still great. Golden Eagle and Willowy Whisper are the cutest. <3 

The Keeper of Every Tomorrow -- 5 stars 
This story absolutely broke my heart, with its beautiful title and beautiful storytelling.

Henceforth and Forever -- 5 stars 
And this one was beautiful too. Like, seriously, I have no words. It's closely connected to The Keeper of Every Tomorrow and wraps up the series of stories quite nicely. 


Favorite quotes... 
"You could not have defeated me, good sir. Do not vex me by slaughtering my pride, lest I should have to prove my words and kill you." 

But the sweet tone in her voice belied the pain she was feeling in her heart as she watched the most precious man in her life walk away. 


**I received a free e-copy of this book from the author in exchange for my honest review.**

    I haven't read anything by this author, but this sounds like a pretty good book.
    Another great review, Faith! You always write great reviews! :) I'm hoping to get better at writing reviews. ;)

      I definitely recommend her! She writes really sweet romance too, in this one and her Hills of Innocence series. :)

Just a Little Update.

As you've probably noticed, this blog's posts have dwindled and have consisted of only book reviews since Christmas. Not what I promised, was it? I'm here today to talk about some things that I've been contemplating—and putting off, if we're going for honesty—for awhile. Now it's official, though. The decision is made, I'm happy with it, and I'm here to make the announcement. Chosen Vessels is closing. Okay, so that sounds much worse/drastic than this is actually going to be, but the gist of it is true. Sometime in March, I'll cease to update this blog. It won't be disappearing entirely, but I won't be posting here anymore. As I strive to strengthen the content of my main blog and create a better online author presence, I've come to realize that it's too confusing—not to mention time-consuming—to keep up with two blogs. Instead, I'll be posting something encouraging and/or something God has been showing me 2-4 weekends...

"Mary, Did You Know?" ~ the Story and the Song

-
Image
This song was sang at church during the Christmas play last week (the 13th). And it really got me to thinking. Did  Mary know? I mean, she knew who He was, but how much of what He would go on to do did she know?  Seeing as how this song was written by my favorite comedian, I decided to share the story behind it. :)  //The Song// Mary, did you know, that your Baby Boy Will one day walk on water? Mary, did you know, that your Baby Boy Will save our sons and daughters? Did you know, that your Baby Boy Has come to make you new? This Child that you delivered,  Will soon deliver you.  Mary, did you know, that your Baby Boy Will give sight to a blind man? Mary, did you know, that your Baby Boy Would calm a storm with his hand? Did you know, that your Baby Boy Has walked where angels trod  And when you kiss your little Baby,  You've kissed the face of God?  Oh, Mary, did you know?  Mary, did you know?...

Sometimes...

Sometimes I dance to a song on the radio. Sometimes I stare off into midair for 7.56 minutes before noticing that I'm doing it. Sometimes I ramble off numbers that I just made up, numbers like 7.56. Sometimes I daydream in the shower. Sometimes I eat ice cream out of the carton. Sometimes I write stories so deep, dark, and dear to my heart that they will be forever hidden in a locked document, never to see the light of day. Sometimes I am very dramatic. Sometimes I fantasize about things that will probably never happen. Sometimes I dream that those things will actually be in my future.  Sometimes I watch sappy movies and read books that a lot of people would probably hate. Sometimes I reseal those little papers that band-aids are in so that someone will think there's still something inside of them. Sometimes it works and someone opens 9.2 of them before realizing they've been pranked.  Sometimes I write stories that leave me hurt and raw, and the...
