A review by fantasyfunk
Silver on the Road by Laura Anne Gilman
2.0
I actually think this book would have worked wonderfully as a prequel novella introducing the world/characters before a meatier novel came out. It just should have been 100 pages shorter. So much wandering and nothing much happening. Even the big parts of the plot really seem to happen without the main character there. She hears or stumbles upon them after the fact which I think really steal the weight from them. Bad things are happening and we should be worried! But I just wasn't.
The ending finally had some action. A little too little too late for me but I think it did at least bump it up to 2 stars instead of just one. I was also a touch annoyed at the lack of real resolution to the ending. Felt a bit too much like a season finale of a tv show where they want to leave you hooked all summer.
It's gotten great reviews so I will freely admit that it might just not have worked for me.
