Vision in Silver by Anne Bishop

Really enjoyed this one too, loving this series! I think Murder of Crows is still my favorite so far, but this one is a close second!
Plot- The plot in this one was definitely slower, more of a building one filled with a lot of political tension. I really like how in this one it's all about the global politics, because that just shows how much thought has gone into this world. I think this book was definitely more character driven, so I don't have much to say about the plot other than even with it being slow, I found the book very hard to put down. I just love these characters, so I don't mind seeing "boring" parts of their life, and watching them grow. That being said, I do still prefer the plot of the second one to this one just because I did feel more "hooked." However, I do think the next book is going to be pretty crazy judging by the event that happened at the end of this book. The very end to this book was marvelous though <3
Writing- I think the writing has gotten better, but it's still not my favorite. I do commend her for being able to judge many POV's well though.
Characters- I rambled on and on about these characters in my review of book two, so I'll try to not repeat myself. I really like these characters, and I wasn't expecting to. Somehow along the course of this series, the characters have just clung on to my heart strings and refused to let go. I'm still baffled by the fact that there are so many secondary characters in this book, and yet they're all done so well. All the characters are going through such a great emotional journey, and this book really focused on Meg and Simon's individual emotional development. I'm a little disappointed that we didn't see more of Meg and Simon together in this one, and I do wish the author would develop their relationship a tad bit quicker, I'm just getting a little tired of waiting, so hopefully the next book will deliver on that.
Overall- I'm writing this review later than planned, so my apologies that it's not as in-depth as it could have been, but I did really enjoy this novel. I really like this series, it's one of the most enjoyable ones I've read in a while. The characters are just so great, and the world, although urban fantasy, somehow seems real and plausible. I can't wait until the next book comes out, but the second book is still my favorite so far!
Recommend?- If you're an urban fantasy fan I think you'd love this book/series.
