The Silent Strength of Stones by Nina Kiriki Hoffman

4.0

Another novel in the Chapel Hollow universe - but not a sequel

"The Silent Strength of Stones" is another novel in the Chapel Hollow universe - but it is not a sequel. Reading the story there's no hints of the timeline, as Chapel Hollow is infrequently mentioned. But the author states in an afterward that this novel is a prequel. As far as the story goes, it could be considered a standalone novel. The characters and locations are different. I enjoyed the novel, despite hoping that I'd be reading more about Tom's adventures.
