Lake Silence by Anne Bishop
5.0
I wasn't sure what to expect with [b:Lake Silence|35463752|Lake Silence (The World of the Others, #1; The Others, #6)|Anne Bishop|https://i.gr-assets.com/images/S/compressed.photo.goodreads.com/books/1497821052l/35463752._SY75_.jpg|53651626]; I loved the Lakeside Others books and I was concerned that Thaisia wouldn't be the same without Meg, Simon, Vlad, Sam et al. I shouldn't have been, although most of the characters are new, the world is familiar enough that [b:Lake Silence|35463752|Lake Silence (The World of the Others, #1; The Others, #6)|Anne Bishop|https://i.gr-assets.com/images/S/compressed.photo.goodreads.com/books/1497821052l/35463752._SY75_.jpg|53651626] flows on easily from the previous books.
I can understand why some reviewers didn't like Vicki as our main protagonist, but I quite like her. Although Vicki is clearly "damaged" by years of abuse and she is apparently not physically attractive, she is loyal and she definitely has plenty of courage. And I really enjoyed her dry, self-deprecating sense of humour. However, there are some things I found annoying (particularly the whole "vigorous appendage" thing).
Overall, another really enjoyable read from [a:Anne Bishop|26897|Anne Bishop|https://images.gr-assets.com/authors/1237258217p2/26897.jpg]. I am looking forward to getting to know the residents of Lake Silence better and, hopefully, learning more about the Intuits.
