Why read it?

2 authors picked The Silvered as one of their favorite books. Why do they recommend it?

I love Tanya Huff’s style of writing as much as I like her wonderful ideas.

The heroes and heroines in her novels are so well crafted you almost feel you know them personally, which to my mind is the key to a good read. 

The Silvered has Steampunk elements. It is, however, set in an invented world that shows some resemblance to our 19th century. The book is a thrilling fantasy novel combining Steampunk with magic: I love the combination.

I trust Tanya Huff to create a complex and fascinating world, but The Silvered goes beyond that because the characters discover magical possibilities that surprise them and thus the reader. Set in a steam-punk world with witches and werewolves, I was expecting this book to be fun; I wasn’t expecting to have my mind blown. But as the threads come together, the main character’s epiphany left me reeling as I processed with her, beautifully merging the paranormal and epic fantasy genres. I love Huff, and this is my favorite of her books!

Book cover of Unreachable Skies

Unreachable Skies by Karen McCreedy,

This book (and its sequels) are about overcoming the odds; about learning to improve the skills and abilities you have, rather than dwelling on what you can't do. Conflict, plague, and scheming politicians are all featured along the way–but none of the characters are human!
