Of Silver and Shadow

Magic, fights, love and a rebellion. The perfect recipe for a young adult fantasy novel.

Jennifer Gruenke's writing style is quite lovely and easy to read. Her descriptions of scenery, clothing, and everything in between managed to make the world come to life without deviating from the story or boring the reader. I was her willing captive before the end of the first chapter.

This book starts with a bang and jumps right into the action. I honestly couldn't put the book down and I finished reading it in one sitting. Every time I tried to close the book something new and exiting happened. Of Silver and Shadow was a action packed book from start to finish.

I loved the interactions between the characters and I was interested in reading every point of view. I am not a fan of instant love and as such I have to admit that I felt as if Ren and Darek's relationship developed at an unnaturally quick pace which made it difficult for me to be truly invested in their relationship. Jennifer's witty dialogue often made me laugh. Of Silver and Shadow contained a diverse group a characters with unique flaws and view points and I loved seeing them all come together.

Fans of Jodi Meadows's The Orphan Queen series will love this book.

I received this book free from NetGalley in exchange for an honest review.

I shall post this review on Book Dragons, my blog and on Goodreads. This review will be posted on 26 May 2020.
