Silent Sounds is a unique world of silence and sign language.  It has great drama and is paced for a multi book experience.  That said, this book does leave on a cliff hanger and has several plot holes, so you definitely need to continue to be satisfied.  And while this book is slow paced in explanations and I was confused by some of those explanations, I did find the transitions.  That said, those quick transitions confused me as to what was happening.  Overall, I enjoyed the book.  I can see it is heading for some fun action and reveals. Nice cover by the way.
