ithinktfiam 's review for:
Silver Elite
by Dani Francis
I really wanted to like this. The characters are good and much of the conversations are bright. It has a good mix of drama, comedy and sarcasm. It even stays on the right side of the SF/Romance line, mixing both but keeping the SF and action pre-eminent.
Sadly, as with most terrible novels these days, it's way too long for its content. Far worse, the main character is too stupid to live. It's not only the foolishness of the expert shot at the beginning of the book, the one that gets her caught, as she could have killed the wolf without it. The main one, about halfway through, is when she gets a healer to eliminate the burn mark covering the mark that proves she's magical. Absolutely idiotic.
Wren is in hiding because the current dictator is anti-magical after the previous dictator was a magical bigot. Centuries ago, a bio-weapon gave some people that power, and now it's genetic. She gets recruited into the dictator's elite program and, of course, meet the guy to hate then love. It looks like a post environmental apocalyptic North America from the map.
The world's ok but standard, the plot is standard, the length is poorly overwritten standard, but the main character is what drags this below average.
