Review - Silvern by Christina Farley

How do you follow up a darn near amazing debut novel?  You write the sequel of course!

So, coming out of Gilded, I was left with a sense of wanting more.  More from the story, more from the characters, and more from the series in general.  Christina Farley did NOT disappoint!  From action and mystery, to Korean mythology and an ever growing romance, this book had it all.

Silvern by Christina Farley, is the second novel in the Gilded series.  We once again join up with Jae Hwa right after the events from the previous book.  She’s trying to get on with her life and lead a more normal life, even knowing all that she now knows.  She’s defeated a great and terrible enemy and she’s found someone that she can really lean on and care for…and who cares deeply for her as well.

I will admit, Marc kind of irritated me through this book.  While well placed, his constant worry and over-protection of Jae Hwa, really got in the way of the story for me.  In fact, I found myself liking Kang-dae more than Marc!  Well…at least until I knew who he really was.

After a VERY short reprieve of normalcy, Jae Hwa is once again thrust into the Spirit World craziness that is quickly consuming her life.  She’s taken on another adventure, this time to find a precious set of orbs that have the power to bring about great peace or terrible destruction.  She must find these before Kud, the big bad whose after said orbs, can get to them.  Add in dragons and some kick butt fight scenes, and you’ve got just a brief glimpse of what this book truly has in store for you.

Honestly, I was drawn into Jae Hwa’s world much more so in this book than in the first.  With each adventure, the pull of the mythology written within, and a kick butt female protagonist, I am fully immersed in the Gilded world.

If you haven’t had a chance to pick up Gilded and Silvern, I highly suggest you do so!  You will not be disappointed!  I gave this book a 4.25 out of 5 stars on GoodReads.  If you have read this series, please let me know in the comment section down below.

You can find these books on Amazon and at your local Barnesand Noble store.

Also, tune in tomorrow as I have a VERY special surprise for everyone regarding this series!

Thanks everyone for taking time out to read my review and, as always, “Spread the joy of reading!  Lives can change with the turn of a page!” 

See ya! J
