Trapped In Silver
by Emily Sowden
Rating: 4/5
Genre: YA Fantasy
Recommended Age: 14+ (some violence and some mature scenes, trigger warning for one particular scene that seemed a bit like the main character was going to be raped. It was probably just my inference of that scene, but just be safe and know your limits if you’re upset by that).
I received a free copy of this book in exchange for my honest review. This did not influence my decision in any manner. Thanks OfTomes Publishing for the review copy!
Courage comes from a shadowed place in our hearts; a blurred line that straddles love and sheer stupidity.
To seventeen-year-old Ava, wild woodcats, hungry stragglers, and simple-minded townsfolk are the evils she's grown accustomed to. But when Ethan, an unusual man with eyes of smoke and fire opal, enters her world she quickly understands that there are worse things out there than drunken men and carnivorous forest creatures. She's a specialised liar and a hell of a fighter, but against a group of animalistic men called Berserkers she struggles to survive the encounter as the desperate swing of a dagger is all it takes to change her life for good.
Half-dead and hunted by the Berserker's leader when he forms a monstrous obsession with her, Ava escapes his pursuit in an unfamiliar land full of impossible creatures, unlikely allies, and the man she doesn't know whether to kiss or kill.
But after dreadful news of her missing brother surfaces, Ava becomes more involved in the centuries-long war and begins to unravel the reasons behind her relentless nightmares, discovering truths long-buried in a violent history of love, loss and betrayal. – Amazon.com
In the aftermath of the Sarah J Maas’ destruction on the YA fantasy genre there rises a book that promises to be just as wonderful and enticing. And this is the book! I honestly loved this book. I thought the book was very well done and a bit unique. The characters felt real and not like they were unnaturally strong or powerful. I also loved how Ava engineered Cedar instead of totally relying on Roan. I loved how the plot developed, even if some of the twists were a bit predictable, and I loved how the author did the pacing. The writing had a nice flow to it and it’s very easy to read.
There were some little things in this book that I didn’t like however. I felt that the character development wasn’t as good as it could have been and there were too many love interests for my liking. And as I stated before, some of the twists in the book are predictable.
Verdict: Overall, I really liked the book. Despite my critics I felt like the book was really well done and unique. I also feel that Ava is an inspirational figure. Her never-give-up, pick-yourself-up-by-the-bootstraps personality is very admirable. This is definitely a book for Maas lovers and other fantasy lovers alike.
