2.0 out of 5 stars
Too much gore,
By Kris Navid (Houston) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Silverhand (The Arcana, Book 1) (Vol 1) (Mass Market Paperback)
After reading everything Morgan Llywelyn has written, this was my last stop. I was very disappointed with this book, I could tell the horror parts written with Michael Scott's influence. Cannibalism, incest, monsters, people turning into jelly, after a while the shock loses its influence, and the reader becomes inured to the violence. I agree with those who say that Morgan Llywelyn should do her own thing from now on. That, and the fact that there will be no book 3, probably means this book is not worth the time to read it.

Both exciting and sympathetic.A young man chosen without his,
By A Customer
This review is from: Silverhand (The Arcana, Book 1) (Vol 1) (Mass Market Paperback)
Orphaned by an account he cannot fathom our hero strives to survive in an unforgiving and hostile world. Maimed to save his soul he is nursed back to health and schooled by the priests who have their own agenda for him. His only home/sanctuary destroyed by the evil twins he sets out on a quest to discover the powers of the Arcana and their part in destroying the Twins.His allies a half stone warrior woman, a vampire who loves him and a werewolf who is his equal in battle and brains. A totally enjoyable and exciting tale of self sacrafice, supernatural and trials of life itself. Can't wait for the third installment.

This review is from: Silverhand (The Arcana, Book 1) (Vol 1) (Mass Market Paperback)
When I started reading Silverhand, I wasn't quite sure what to expect. I've read loads of Llywelyn's books previously and have enjoyed most of them very much. Any time an author teams up with someone else, though, one can't help but wonder what impact there will be, especially when the general subject matter is quite different than their previous works.
Most people will agree that near the top of the list of criteria for a quality work of fiction is it's ability to draw the reader in and keep their attention. Silverhand certainly did that in my case. I had a very hard time putting the book down - finding myself reading way more pages in a sitting than I would normally do for most books. I can't really say why that was. It was kind of a hypnotic thing, I guess. Regardless, I'm looking forward to continuing the series.
