Publisher's summary

The New York Times best-selling author of The Black Jewels Trilogy transports readers to a world of magic and political unrest - where the only chance at peace requires a deadly price....

The Others freed the cassandra sangue to protect the blood prophets from exploitation, not realizing their actions would have dire consequences. Now the fragile seers are in greater danger than ever before - both from their own weaknesses and from those who seek to control their divinations for wicked purposes. In desperate need of answers, Simon Wolfgard, a shape-shifter leader among the Others, has no choice but to enlist blood prophet Meg Corbyn’s help, regardless of the risks she faces by aiding him.

Meg is still deep in the throes of her addiction to the euphoria she feels when she cuts and speaks prophecy. She knows each slice of her blade tempts death. But Others and humans alike need answers, and her visions may be Simon’s only hope of ending the conflict.

For the shadows of war are deepening across the Atlantik, and the prejudice of a fanatic faction is threatening to bring the battle right to Meg and Simon’s doorstep....

Weakest in the series

After reading the previous books, Vision in Silver was a disappointment. We left the story after just having freed a whole bunch of blood prophets, and this book picks up right after that. This slows down the pacing of the series to a crawl since the author suddenly has to make up reasons why the free prophets aren't doing so well. To do so she rewrites Meg's personality.

In the previous books we see her deal with the outside, unknown world very well. Suddenly, after months, Meg starts having difficulty dealing with everything so that there can be a contrived plot device to find out how to help the other prophets. It is a very lame and transparent way to manipulate the plot, and it rewrites Meg's character.

There's another story arc woven into it all about the one human cop, but it's uninteresting and unsurprising. The lines between 'bad guy' and 'good Other' are so clearly drawn none of the plot arc was a surprise.

The narration was okay overall, but Harris felt the need to wholeheartedly howl when the characters did. It's obnoxious.

I have a beef with the author

What made the experience of listening to Vision in Silver the most enjoyable?

Everyone's different perspectives on the situation. Some things you can guess ahead of time but the reveals are always perfect.

Which scene was your favorite?

I love all the scenes when Simon and Meg are confused.

Was there a moment in the book that particularly moved you?

During one scene, one of the girls spends time on the porch. I cried; her description of her joy was beautiful.

Any additional comments?

My beef is, these books are so long that when they are over, I feel like I have binge-watched a show. I don't want to leave the world created for us. I wouldn't want them shorter, in fact, longer would be preferred. I love this series.

More Please!!!

I really love this series. I cannot wait for the next one. The first book is one of my all time favorites and I have listened to it multiple times. This book continues the story from the first two and is just a as addicting. It is not as good as book one, but I think it is stonger than book two. I hope it is not another year before we get the next installment.

I love Anne Bishop, but why?

The pacing of this series has been fairly slow from the beginning, which I didn't mind, but this book took the slow paces of the previous two and then added very little in the way of plot development. There were a few political developments, it's true, but at the end of the book we leave things much the same as we did at the beginning, with just a little more information.

We also must have had the hierarchy of the Others explained to us 3 or 4 times in the course of the book. I'm pretty sure that was not the only thing that was repeated over and over again. (You guys Simon Wolfguard is SUPER UNIQUE DID YOU KNOW THEY JUST TOLD US AGAIN.) Overall I found it repetitive, and adding very little in terms of development. Though if anything I thought the main character grew weaker in this book, less capable, which was also a surprise.

I was very disappointed in this addition to the series, and I will likely hold off reading the rest until they are all released.

Also, I have to turn the reader speed up to 1.25 for these books to be bearable. While not terrible, I don't feel like the narrator adds much to the experience. .

The Title says it all

Would you listen to Vision in Silver again? Why?

Yes I would because it takes us to another world that is seen through several eyes. It is exciting and I really look forward to what happens next.

What was one of the most memorable moments of Vision in Silver?

I have to say I enjoy Simons jealous of others. I really liked it when he got jealous of Sam because he got to rub Megs head. I also I am enjoying how the story is taking the friendship of Meg and Simon toward romance but in a slow place were they are learning to become more together. I also love seeing how the others are learning to except some of the humans and there ways enough to ask them questions.

Have you listened to any of Alexandra Harris’s other performances before? How does this one compare?

Yes and she did a great job.

Any additional comments?

I have enjoy all three of the others series and I love Anne Bishop world. I really look forward to learning and getting to know some of the new members we have meet in this book and also I hope to see Meg and Simon grow more.

Disappointing!

The first two books were awesome! The author really created a unique world with interesting plots and fascinating characters. I was really looking forward to this book but I found it seriously lacking. The story was boring, the characters were flat, and the whole plot was just short of ridiculous. What was a huge problem for Meg in this book was non-existent in the previous books. I struggled to get to the end only to find that most of the issues were left unresolved. The book just kind of fizzled out, and I was left scratching my head.

I hope there's more

Narrator was great as always but the ending was a hard pill to swallow. It felt like the end of the series but there are so many unanswered questions
