ICYMI: Book Review of #SilverInTheBone by #AlexandraBracken. Young adult contemporary fantasy with the Arthurian legends in the background. https://suanneschaferauthor.com/book-review-silver-in-the-bone/

Alexandra Bracken's new novel, Silver in the Bone, is a story in the King Arthur universe. It's not a retelling (sort of a reimagining) It's a story about what happens when modern relic hunters make their way to Avalon. "Tamsin Lark has no magical ability. When their foster father abandons them, she and her brother spend their time hunting for relics and magical treasures. Ten years later, there are rumors that he is in possession of a powerful ring from Arthurian legend. All roads lead to Avalon where they unearth a deadly secret." My experience with YA fantasy means that the World-Building slows the first part of a book. Once you have a sense of what's going on and the rules of the world, the story can flow a little better. It's interesting to see how Bracken writes around the Arthur legend and characters. Lots of strong female characters and lots of action. Tamsin is a character that doesn't know where she came from or what she's capable of. There's a bit of a cliff-hanger so I'm sure we'll get to see what she can do. Some good YA Fantasy from Bracken.

Want to play a game while you wait for the big game? 😊 In SILVER IN THE BONE, Tamsin, her brother Cabell, and the other Hollowers in their guild break into the vaults of sorceresses to find legendary and magical relics. To break into my vault and find a long, perhaps Valentine’s Day-appropriate, excerpt, all you have to do is go to tinyurl.com/readsilver and enter the missing word from the quote on the second slide as your version of a skeleton key. 🗝️ (I truly believe you can guess this one! 😘) This excerpt is one of my favorite Tamsin + Emrys scenes, and I can’t wait for you to read it!! #silverinthebone #alexandrabracken #sitb #arthurianlegend #celticmythology #yalit #bookstagram https://www.instagram.com/p/Coka6i0JusN/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=
