Whisper of Weapons

A nice start to a new series by the author! I loved the character growth that the main character goes through and her new found family. They are all quirky and I love them all! I absolutely adored all the animal familiars and how Savannah wrote them as well as how they come to existence. Definitely curious of how it ended and I have so many questions at the end of the book that I need the next book stat!

Felt immersed in the world-building due to the complexity of the characters and the environment layered in this book. The castlings reminding me of the Dæmons of the His Dark Materials books of which I have yet to read (have however watched The Golden Compass movie when it came out). The castings however have a unique set of differences in the facts of their creation rather than pre-existing manifestation the external physical of a person's "inner-self". They're cast with purpose & in connection also reflect the caster's societal standing based of what they're capable of casting. Beautifully written was the personal growth of characters, found family, social classism nods, and relatability. Unfortunately this review is short here due to the lack of words allowed to write it but overall I RECOMMEND IT. complete review on IG & Goodreads. Disclaimer: I did read an ARC copy but this in no way reflects my opinion. It's honest & my own. Left voluntarily.
