Silver in the Bone: Book 1

Product Information

Thank you to Netgalley and the publisher for providing me with a free eARC in exchange for an honest review! Tamsin often frustrated me with her stubbornness and unwillingness to change. She makes so many bad decisions, and she pushes away all of the people that try to help and support her. Sometimes, she is her own worst enemy, and I wanted to shake her. I understand how events and trauma from her past affected how she is now, and she showed growth by the end of the story. I think her relationships and what she experienced in this story will affect her and change her in the next. And I’m dying to find out about some of the other characters. There were several jaw-dropping things that happened, and I need answers!!! Ten years later, rumors are swirling that her guardian vanished with a powerful ring from Arthurian legend. A run-in with her rival Emrys ignites Tamsin’s hope that the ring could free Cabell from a curse that threatens both of them. But they aren’t the only ones who covet the ring.

Los protagonistas son saqueadores de tumbas de hechiceras, buscan reliquias y las venden; ellos pertenecen a un selecto grupo de saqueadores que tienen un don para ver las cosas mágicas que hay en el mundo, solo unas pocas personas lo tienen. Tamsin Lark is a hollower. She didn’t want to be. She’s a mortal with no magical powers, unlike her brother. However, her brother, Cabell, has a curse that turns him into a monster (sort of like a werewolf¿). Tamsin finds out that The ring of Dispel can break Cabell’s curse. You cannot – and I mean CANNOT – convince me that Emrys wasn’t whipped for Tamsin this entire book. He was W H I P P E D . And I loved it, because their banter was top level, and his adorable obsession with Tamsin was beyond fun to read about. Also, understandable Emrys, because Tamsin was freaking cool. She could be a little on the nose sometimes, but I loved her growth and stubborn personality, and her love for her brother just solidified my appreciation of her. Let me just say that I am BLOWN AWAY and screaming crying dying for the second book ASAP. Literal tears were falling down my cheeks in rage and misery by the end of this book (I may have gotten a wee bit attached to a character or two… whoops). And maybe I’m being dramatic, but I certainly adored this book.This book was much darker than I expected. It is full of terrifying monsters, deadly locations and sinister curses. The stakes were high, the action was intense, and yes, I may shed a tear (or several). Simmering with magic, peril, romance, and heartbreak." —Leigh Bardugo, #1 New York Times bestselling author of Shadow and Bone The problem with siblings, I decided, was that they spent years gathering up all these little knives of observation and learning exactly where to slip them between your bones.

I also found the world quite hard to be enveloped in...I was looking for that completely immersed feeling, and I didn’t get it. Tamsin, our main character, is a really interesting choice; she's pretty unlikeable for a main character, she can be quite rude and standoffish, and sometimes it was hard to be reading the whole story from her perspective. But it does lead for some interesting moments when she's being so pigheaded, and I thought it did end up adding to the story to have an unlikeable main character.

You always seem to assume the worst,” he said, “and you expect everyone else to do the same. But all you’re really doing is punching at phantoms the rest of us can’t see.” I honestly had a little hard time to enjoy the author’s previous work: Lore. But this is something exceptional!

Silver in the Bone by Alexandra Bracken Book Review: Silver in the Bone by Alexandra Bracken

Trust comes deeply through this novel. As the story progresses Tamsin has to work together with her arch-rival, Emrys, who is known for his infamous Cunningfolk father, so it seems ‘obvious’ that he would follow in his father’s footsteps. However, despite their differences, they both have one goal which is to find the famous ring. Neve and Emrys Families can talk about the violence in Silver in the Bone. Is it too much? Does it matter if it's in the real world or the fantasy world? Is reading about it different from seeing it in movies, games, or other visual media? But she’s not the only Hollower who covets the ring and Tamsin is forced into an alliance with the last person she can trust, her rival Emrys. Together, they must journey from underground Boston to the cursed ruins of Avalon where the ghosts of the past await . . .

However, A LOT of people want this ring, so she works with her rival/person she dislikes but has liked her the entire time 🤭🤭 this is shown in the quote: Did you know you can flag iffy content? Adjust limits for Drinking, Drugs & Smoking in your kid's entertainment guide. Get started Close The side characters are AMAZING! The priestesses, Neve, everything’s so complicated and I love it so much because everything is well thought out, the side characters don’t exist just for the sake of it 😌🫶 I can tell you that to me, you’ve always felt like spring. Like possibility. I admire you, and respect you, and I want to be near you as long as I can. As long as you’ll let me be.”I will say that if you're looking for this book to be really invested in the Arthurian side of things, it's not really that much - yes a lot of it takes place in Avalon, and King Arthur's death is used as one of the main plot devices, but it's not a retelling or really used the Arthurian mythology a whole lot, which I was expecting it to do. I'm guessing the actual mythology will become more involved with the story as the series goes on, but I would've expected more in this first book. Tamsin is an antihero. She's rebellious, stubborn, sarcastic, contrary, and always sees the worst in people and expects the worst possible outcome. Despite all that she's a good model for teamwork with different groups of people, and even with antagonist Emrys. She also models courage and perseverance as an extremely loyal caretaker to her brother and her mind is always almost exclusively focused on doing whatever she must to help and protect him. The nine priestesses are a good example of women in leadership who work together for the good of their community.
