Synopsis:
All humans are “Sounds” with “Echoes” in the echo world, and when a Sound dies, the Echo must be killed, so when a boy discovers that his Echo is a prince, he quickly realizes that there is a target on his back.
Review:
The Sound and the Echoes is a middle-grade fantasy with an intriguing concept. For me, I felt like there were too many rules, but I think that’s because I’m a grown up not a kid. I’m curious to see what Amanda at Reads4Tweens thinks, since she has a son who is the right age for this book.

I, too, got a bit mired in the rules–especially when they were inconsistent–although the story hangs together just fine if you can let a few things slide.
