Book Summary:
AFTER HER PARENTS GO MISSING, SEVENTEEN-YEAR-OLD Zillayah Andrews wants nothing more than to finish her last year of school. She’s almost out the door. Almost able to find the truth about Ameslan’s dirty little secret. This new world may look perfect with its fae creatures, two suns, and ecological advancements. It may be exactly what the human ancestors hoped for when they found this planet so many centuries ago. It might just be the utopia to beat all utopias…
Until you speak.
One sentence. One word. One mistake. That's all it takes to shatter the balance between everyday life and a never-ending hunt. Zillayah knows this better than anyone. It’s the one thing her parents engrained in her head before they disappeared.
Sooner than later, Zillayah falls into the custody of her eccentric aunt, Emriah Cohn, a teacher that doesn't realize she’s on a short leash. How will they navigate the annual tests to find people of the Old Tongue? People like Zillayah? Speaking is already a death sentence for anyone caught.
What will they do when Zillayah’s skills extend far beyond the imagination?

My Thoughts:
I picked this book up on the Fantasy stuff your Kindle day. It's not something I would have normally picked up, but I truly enjoyed it. They live in a silent world where you are prosecuted if you can speak. I loved the world-building and all of the sign language used to communicate. The characters were well thought out and brought the plot to life. You will find yourself routing for Zillayah to survive. Of course, it ended on a cliffhanger so we now play the waiting game for book two Whispering Waters. Hopefully, the wait won't be too long.
P.S. If you want to try something unexpected give this one a try. It might surprise you.
