This was so well done. The different voices used in conjunction with different poetic styles is just amazing. A book that makes me hungry to learn is a great book. (

Their are a couple poems in it I feel could have benefitted from further revisions. That said, the concept and execution of storytelling is amazing. The fact that personal items in Joan's life are written as characters who are aware of her fate, really lends itself to the otherworldly nature of her life. (

This book won't appeal to everyone, but I thought it was terrific. I loved the various medieval forms of poetry and the fact the there were a range of points of view including Joan; her sword, dress and armour; St Catherine and St Michael; King Charles and the fire at her pyre; just to name a few. While some aspects of Joan's life were glossed over, especially her strong faith, "Voices: the Final Hours of Joan of Arc" was still a beautifully written, compelling read. (

In different poetry styles, we have the story of Joan of Arc as she stands tied at the stake, awaiting her death. It is told not only by Joan relaying the memories of her battle, but other key persons such as her father, King Charles, bishops, and the saints who spoke to her. We also hear the voices of inanimate objects such as the tunic she wore, the sword she carried, the arrow that pierced her neck. Melodic poetry that begs to be read/performed aloud; much imagery. In this age of non-binary awareness and non-conforming gender identity, Joan speaks to today’s teens. (
