Dangerous Voices by Rae Carson
3.0
This was a terrific short story that was well written with beautiful prose. I'm not a fan of short stories, but this story about a prisoner named Errik who is imprisoned for using his voice is quite powerful. It's a fantasy tale about a man who has lived in a dark cell for many years, but things change when a young girl with a sweet voice is imprisoned in the cell next to his.
Voices in this world are dangerous, thus no speaking or singing is allowed, but once the young girl starts to sing, Erikk begins to remember who he is and is willing to suffer the consequences to let his voice be heard.
I would read more of this author's work. It's hard to tell a full story with a limited word count, but Rae Carson does an exceptional job with Dangerous Voices.
