“Choose me, because I choose you.”
Silver in the Bone follows Tamsin who lives in a world of magic based on Arthurian legend. She sets out on a journey to retrieve a magical object that will help break her brother’s curse. This journey takes her to places she’s never been before and tests her sense of trust and loyalty.
I loved this book so much. This world pulled me in immediately. I really liked the characters and their relationships. I liked how vulnerable the main character got and the friendships she developed. The author did an amazing job of creating this magical world with high stakes and betrayals. The middle was a little slow for me, but the beginning and end were so action packed and intriguing and I learned to love these characters along the way. Overall, I loved this and I can’t wait for the sequel!
