Silver and Blood (the first book in a new series) introduces us to the character of Zania Corthinn as she begins her journey of self-discovery. It has an imaginative and good storyline that takes us thru the process of Zania's growth as a person, her education of who she is, and who her friends really are. Although the villain, Vongarom, is not as strongly developed as I would have liked and the fight scenes are missing the usual descriptive and teeth-rattling combat, it is well-written, and has enough suspense and surprise to keep me turning the pages to see what happens next. The introduction of the elf, Kahri, as Zania's partner in the forester band that eventually becomes her home is compelling. Kahri is an intriguing character, and one that I hope to see developed in the next book. I like a book in a series that can stand on its own, and yet leave open the possibility of more to come. I look forward to the release of the next book in the series, and give Silver and Blood four stars.

Wow, what a book!!! I eagerly await the next book by this Author!

I could not put the book down. I am now working on the next book by this author; Tellers of Tales.

Just finished "Silver and Blood" last night and am hungry for more! I've found myself a new fantasy author to follow. Kudos to Trina Talma!

For many years, the fantasy genre has been overpopulated with Tolkien-clones and similar imitations, and only rarely does a truly original voice raise itself above their clamor. Trina L. Talma has one such voice. Her characters are believable, her plot surprising and her world-setting original and refreshing. If only more fantasy novels were as well-written and readable. As a new author, I look forward to her confidence growing in future books.
