whisper by lynette noni review

For two years, six months, fourteen days, eleven hours and sixteen minutes, Subject Six-Eight-Four — ‘Jane Doe’ — has been locked away and experimented on, without uttering a single word.

As Jane’s resolve begins to crack under the influence of her new — and unexpectedly kind — evaluator, she uncovers the truth about Lengard’s mysterious ‘program’, discovering that her own secret is at the heart of a sinister plot … and one wrong move, one wrong word
, could change the world.

The premise of this book sounded super interesting to me, and while it was an enjoyable read, it fell flat gaining only 3 stars from me. I figured out why Jane thought she was "a monster" pretty quickly. It wasn't outwardly some big mystery but I do get the feeling the author was building up to a big shocking reveal when in reality, this big climax at the end had me like "uhhh yeah? I grasped that waaaayyy back?". 

I liked Jane, I found her interesting and it was super cool when we got into the main bit of the story - I don't want to give anything away so I'll just say "training" for now - but the overall plot relied on some pretty shady stuff that I don't fully see actually happening. Like it just didn't seem plausible to me.

This was very much the first book in a series and has built up a lot for a sequel but I am really not character driven. I just don't care enough to want to read more books about the same people. Occasionally I will, but I don't see myself going out of my way to pick up the next book of this. I really don't care what happens.
