Echoes are determined by the presence of sound. They have a way of magnifying the sounds produced. Thanks for a detailed review.

I have never believed in the concept of parallel worlds either but would love to check this book out. Thanks for the review.

The idea of there being a parallel world with our echoes is unique and intriguing and also very scary. But the plot is so interesting that I would like to know more about this story.

I am very much looking forward to reading this book. As I read through your review, it captivated me like it's the book itself. I read something of mirrored worlds a while ago and these concepts are insane when used wonderfully.

This is a very intriguing book. The author must have been thinking outside the box, because this is a shift in paradigm. I like how he imagined a parallel world of echoes. I give the author a 5-star rating for his creativity.

This book sounds fantastic. I do enjoy fantasy novels. The idea of parallel worlds is fascinating because I believe that it exists. I wonder why only children were going to dissapear? How could Will return safely but not the other children? Does he have something else magical that could save him? Or is it because he has a twin? I have so many questions. I'm curious if there is a plot twist in this story. Thank you for a great review.

I'm intrigued to know what and who is behind the disappearances and what was different about Will that made him come back and Emmy not. Despite this, the premise doesn't excite me enough to want to read/listen to this book, so I'll pass. However, I must say that I'm pleased to know that you connected so well with this story and that the pace of the narrative is quite fluid. Young fans of fantasy and intriguing stories may really enjoy this book. Thanks for this detailed review.

As a visual learner, I struggle with audiobooks, I feel I miss out some integral parts. However, I do like many books that are fantasy stories with exceptional characters. I will check out the written version of this one. Nice descriptive review.

This is a coming-of-age fiction book that seems to have some action scenes, parallel mirrored worlds, and a lot of suspense too. In this volume, two kids disappear, but one of them, Will, returns. After some years, Will is going to look for his sister too. Congrats on BOTD to the author! Thanks for the review

From a sampling, this young adult fantasy novel about mirrored worlds and other selves and about how two siblings disappear and the brother's story about searching for his still missing sister. It is worth a second look. Well done.
