The Silver Sail

A YA Space Fantasy (The Coseema Saga, Book 2)

De: Bridgette Portman

Narrado por: Ulka Simone Mohanty

A looming supernova. A long-lost starship. A hero turned evil.

Olive Joshi never meant to fall through a portal into her own abandoned novel, much less kill her protagonist and resurrect her as a villain. Now she’s on the run in a universe quickly spiraling out of her control.

After narrowly escaping Coseema with her life, Olive and her friends head for a distant planet in search of the legendary starship the Wave-Rider, which may be the only hope for the doomed people of Lyria. But the voyage there is littered with obstacles—the tyrannical ruler of a dying colony, a mysterious spacefarer, the ever-present threat of Coseema, and Olive’s own obsessive fears. Back on Lyria, Olive’s allies face obstacles of their own as they vie with the cruel emperor Burnash, while Burnash himself chafes under Coseema’s control. Olive, armed with her omniscient journal, finds comfort in reading along with her friends’ adventures. But when time runs out, she must embark on a risky collision course with her former heroine, one that may force her to give up what she treasures most.

The Silver Sail, Book Two of the Coseema Saga, is a must-listen for fans of portal fantasy, space opera, coming-of-age adventures, and novels about mental health, self-esteem, friendship, and courage in the face of uncertainty.

Reseñas de la Crítica

[R]eaders should be sufficiently hooked to follow the vivid, ominous threads into the next volume. An engaging installment of a complicated SF/fantasy series about a besieged writer."—Kirkus Reviews

"[A] gorgeously penned emotional journey ... The Silver Sail is a must-read for fans of the first novel, and the series, in general, would be a fantastic recommendation for young adult readers seeking an emotive and relatable protagonist."—Readers' Favorite (5-star review)

Tension and hope build; and crash

An immediate continuation of book 1, the story continues with new threats and alliances, discoveries and disasters, but still the hope that the world can be saved and evil tendencies might be thwarted. Narrated expertly and enjoyable to listen to, even for someone way beyond the target age group. I'm excited for the conclusion in book 3.
