Silverglen by E.A. Burnett
My rating: 5 of 5 stars
Silverglen by E.A. Burnett was a thrilling ride full of mystery, lush detail and heart pounding action. From the first chapter until the last I could not put this 5 star book down. You are not eased into this story, from the first words you are tossed into an adventure already in progress. This’s hard method to pull off, and if not done right, will confuse the readers. This was not the case for Silverglen. It’s opening will hook you, it will spark your curiosity, and it will make you turn the pages to find out more. There have been few openings that has captured me so, or that have had so many hidden meanings. For Silverglan the opening wasn’t just the start, it was the first and final threads that built this story, and forged its plot. It also for me, set the stage for our heroine Ember.
Normally It takes me a good bit into a story before I finally warm up to the MC, but not with Ember. She burrowed her way into my heart from the first moments my eyes read about her. She is strong, brave and she grew throughout the story. Her overall growth was exponential. There was a fire in her, a drive to understand what she was and willingness to learn. In order for her to survive, she had to change her point of view on beliefs that she healed so dear, that it almost shattered her. She started out a girl, but by the end of this book was a strong, beautiful, empowering woman.
Quote - “Ember raised her chin. "Do to me what you will. I was protecting myself and my friend.””
Ember wasn’t the only character that showed growth. Kitt was probably the one I wasn’t too sure about. He was a hot mess. Quick tempered and blinded by rage. He distrusted Ember from the first moment of their unconventional meeting until, well, that I will not say because it will surly spoil the fun. What I will say is that, through meeting her, teaching her, it felt to me like he let go. I slowly started to feel connected to him, and as the story move forward, and the two started to bond, I could see how much Ember needed him, just as much as Kitt needed her.
Silverglen is a must read, it’s an addicting, beautiful ride. I highly recommend this stand-alone. The plot was perfectly covered and all answers were given. The ending is a tad bitter sweet, but it fit. It reflected the real-world reality of actions and consequences. They still have a long way to go, they will still have to fight, but, they have a life line. It’s a light to their darkness, and a hope that one day, it will be as they have always dreamed.
Happy Reading
