The Whisper
The Whisper: The Riverman Trilogy | Aaron Starmer
5 posts | 4 read
Twelve-year-old Alistair Cleary has washed up on shore. But where? It seems to be Aquavania, the magical realm where children create entire worlds from their imagination. There's something wrong, though. The creators have disappeared and the worlds are falling apart. All Alistair wants is to find his friend Fiona Loomis and go home. Easier said than done. Animals made of starlight, a megalomaniacal boy king, and astronauts who peddle riddles are hard enough to outwit, but they're only the beginning. To find Fiona, Alistair must travel from world to world. He must confront the mistakes of his past. And he must face countless monsters, including the soul-stealing stalker that some people call the Riverman, the merciless but misunderstood servant of Aquavania who refers to himself as the Whisper.

Onto the second...

Mehso-so

I found this to be a rather disappointing follow-up to The Riverman. It was a quick read, but I struggled with the unlikeability of one of the primary characters. Evil kids are something I struggle with reading, and Charlie is evil. The end twist wasn‘t a complete surprise, but was well done. I‘m just not sure if I want the trilogy resolution enough to read the third book. 🤔

Roselyn_Reads I have all three of these books but haven‘t read any of them yet. 7y
DGRachel @Silent_Whispers I really liked the first one and the way it ends, you could leave it there. I kind of wish I had. 7y
erzascarletbookgasm Oh dear..I liked the first one, own the third book, and was keeping a look-out for this book. 7y
DGRachel @erzascarletbookgasm It may just be an #unpopularopinion that I have. The Goodreads score is higher for the second book than the first, so there‘s that. I personally struggle with irredeemable darkness in children, it creeps me out, so this was a very difficult one for me to read. 7y

I actually finished mowing my entire yard! As a reward, the rest of my Saturday plans are book, couch, and cuddles with #Bailey. Oh, and probably a Benedryl induced nap. 😴😴😴

@LauraBeth you can be impressed now, because I sure am. 😂

dsfisher Awesome! Sounds like a good plan for the rest of the day! I‘m going to have to buy a chair, looks like Bailey has totally claimed the couch. 7y
LauraBeth I‘m impressed! You‘ve inspired me to go get out of my pjs! 😂 Nice job! 🌟🌟 7y
Annl She looks like she has settled right in! 7y

TrishB Well done!! 7y
MicheleinPhilly @LauraBeth I just took Pickles to the park for an hour and a half, came home, and put my pjs back on. 7y
LauraBeth @MicheleinPhilly 😂😂🙌 7y
DGRachel @LauraBeth @MicheleinPhilly I‘m back in my pjs now. 😂 7y
TricksyTails She seems to be the perfect cuddler! 😍🐶 7y
DGRachel @TricksyTails She really is. 😍 7y
TricksyTails Trade? 😏 7y
DGRachel @TricksyTails You know you wouldn‘t give up your boy, don‘t pretend otherwise! 😂 Bailey might cuddle, but she won‘t let you use her as a prop for your photos like Tanuki does! 7y
TricksyTails Trade? 🤣 I need cuddles!!!! 7y
DGRachel @TricksyTails You should do what I did to Samia when she didn‘t want to cuddle...I‘d walk up to her and grab her around the middle and make her let me love on her. 🤣🤣 Then I told her it was her fault for being so sqooshie. 7y
TricksyTails Nope. He‘s not having any of that. He squirms out of my grasp and then whacks me with his fat paw. And continues to hit me until I leave him alone. Then nibbles on me. 🤣 He‘s a jerk. 7y
DGRachel @TricksyTails I‘m sorry, but 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣. I am still amazed that in 13 years, Samia never bit me, because I deserved it. Tell Tanuki Auntie Rachel said he‘d better be nice or no more treats! (And funny story-my couch has reclining seats. Bailey accidentally hit the button with her paw and startled herself. I‘m dying over here, laughing. She gave me the side eye. 😒🤣🤣 7y
TricksyTails 🤣 Aww Bailey!! 🐶♥️ Wouldn‘t that be something if she started reclining in that chair now? I bet she and Tanuki would have a blast together. He‘d love up on her but not me. 😭 I need a new dog! 7y

💖 @Liberty mentioned it on the All the Books podcast
💖 Yes. I‘ve been doing the Goodreads challenge for years
💖 The #blameitonlitsy effect is REAL! Goodreads didn‘t really have an impact, but Litsy is killing me. 💸💸
💖 I just finished the first book, so I‘m starting the tagged book (2nd in the trilogy)

Chellebearss Goodreads doesn‘t do much for me, it‘s just a place to track my books. Library Thing and Litsy have been big influences on my TBR! 7y
DGRachel @Chellebearss I haven‘t interacted with any of the social aspects of LT. I use it exclusively to catalog my print books. I use Goodreads to track what I‘ve read and for reviews. Litsy is my big bookish social media and it has put a series dent in my budget. 😂 7y
