Worth the Wait!!

If you’ve been following these books you know how long readers have waited for this book to come out. I am so happy to say it does not disappoint. It’s probably the best book yet in the series. However, I’m not sure what exactly has happened with the audio version of this book, but there are several mistakes, including one where they repeat part of the story in a different voice. I assume they were redoing the voice because the initial one did not work, but they forgot to edit the first take out. There’s also an abnormally long pause between chapter 1, and chapter 2. For the rest of the chapters there does seem to be varying lengths of silence after the music plays to outro the chapter. Hopefully they fix this soon.

Well worth the wait!

I know there was a long delay since the last book in this series was released. However, this time was well used because this book has been edited flawlessly. Not a single sentence feels like filler and SO VERY MUCH happens in this book! Highly recommend as I enjoyed the Mystery aspect as well as the hijinks of Detective Blackburn. We also meet Morrigan's mother's family, the Darlings of the Silver District.

Wonderful

So different than what I expected or wanted but still loved it, despite minimal Deucalion and Jupiter 😢. Gemma Whelan is great as usual but she changed the voices she uses for Ezra Squall and Holiday Wu and the inconsistency really bothered me.

So good… gotta go listen again bye!

It’s really one of my favorite series! So thrilled for the sequel, been looking forward to it for a long time.

AMAZING!

Jessica Townsend is brilliant! Her writing amazes and captivates me and I eagerly wait for more!
Gemma Whelan is equally amazing with her narration. I feel like Nevermoor is even better enjoyed with Whelan’s excellent voices! Jupiter is perfect! As are so many of the other characters voices and inflections.

Excellent story and narration. Touching and entertaining.

The narrator to this series does a fantastic job in my opinion. I really enjoyed all three of the previous books but this one is probably my favorite of the four. It actually made me tear up a few times, and was a really fun and entertaining read.

Fantastic Continuation

I absolutely adore this series and Silverborn did not disappoint as a continuation of this intriguing and delightful story. And the narrator is absolutely brilliant in bringing out and portraying each individual personality of each character. I can’t wait for the next audio book!

More Answers and Questions

Finally got some answers to questions I had since book 1 but now there are more questions. Also that cliffhanger makes me want have the next book now. It was worth the wait.

AMAZING

Jessica has done it again!!! Love love love the main character’s growth in this book and the new experiences readers are taken through!! I also cannot rave enough about the utter brilliance that is the narrator Gemma Whelan!! I can listen to this series repeatedly and be amazed and the storytelling every time!!

An OK Read That Didn’t Measure Up to the First Three

Silversmith: The Mystery of Morgan Crowe was an OK book, but it didn’t quite measure up to the first three in the series. The storyline was easy to follow and had some decent moments, but I found myself a little disappointed overall. One thing that stood out was the subtle implication of homosexuality, which felt unnecessary and somewhat out of place in the context of the mystery. It didn’t add much to the plot and felt like a political insert more than a natural part of the story. While it wasn’t a bad read, it lacked the depth and engagement of the earlier books. Just okay—not great.
