Courage comes from a shadowed place in our hearts; a blurred line that straddles love and sheer stupidity.
To seventeen-year-old Ava, wild woodcats, hungry stragglers, and simple-minded townsfolk are the evils she's grown accustomed to. But when Ethan, an unusual man with eyes of smoke and fire opal, enters her world she quickly understands that there are worse things out there than drunken men and carnivorous forest creatures. She's a specialised liar and a hell of a fighter, but against a group of animalistic men called Berserkers she struggles to survive the encounter as the desperate swing of a dagger is all it takes to change her life for good.
Half-dead and hunted by the Berserker's leader when he forms a monstrous obsession with her, Ava escapes his pursuit in an unfamiliar land full of impossible creatures, unlikely allies, and the man she doesn't know whether to kiss or kill.
But after dreadful news of her missing brother surfaces, Ava becomes more involved in the centuries-long war and begins to unravel the reasons behind her relentless nightmares, discovering truths long-buried in a violent history of love, loss and betrayal.

I enjoyed this book immensely. Whenever I had to put the book down to do something else, I found myself thinking about the story, eager to learn what would happen next.Trapped in Silver features Ava, an oddity among her traditionalist and conformist town. Ava has to lead two lives in order to survive and go about her daily life. Everything changes when she's brutally chased and attacked after (rebelliously) going to town for a festival.
Ava was a delightful protagonist, entertaining in her smart aleck remarks and comebacks. After reading other reviews I had been expecting a little bit more of a sarcastic and kick butt protagonist, but none the less I found that Ava still brought a smile to my face.
Something I really appreciated about this book was that there was no insta-love between Ava and Ethan. Yes, they pretty quickly found each other alluring, but there was no "omg I'm dying to kiss him, I'm totally in love and would give up everything for him." Ava and Ethan didn't always see eye to eye and boy did they argue. I found this realism to be refreshing. I find it obnoxious when characters are instantly enraptured with each other, despite knowing next to knowing about each other. I liked how the resemblance of a romance was there, hovering in the background, but didn't take over the entire story.
Another thing that pleased me about this book was the characters and relationships between them. I liked that almost every character had a backstory and weren't placed as stereotypical, 2-D sidekicks.
I also enjoyed the world building in this story. I appreciated that information came in little clumps instead of a big tell all to the readers. I did find myself left with many questions though. There were a couple of jumps in the relaying of information that I felt weren't executed properly (When the heck did Ava ever learn Rosa's name?). The biggest thing that bugged me was the timeline of the backstory though. The House of Adrian was described as being attacked hundreds of years ago, yet Terra was described as only having gone missing about twenty years earlier.
Though the book was far from perfect and touched on being predictable and cliche, it's flaws did not impede me from being drawn into the story. I would recommend this book to any lover of fantasy looking for a light, easy read. I am eagerly waiting for what will happen in the coming books.

Trapped in Silver Eldryn Chronicles Emily Sowden Books Reviews
Amazing story. Hard to understand in the beginning but you understand as the main character understands. Cant wait for the next one!!!!
I really enjoyed this book. It never once got boring and I loved that that the main character was so strong and had a sense of humor. Definitely recommend this book!
Best book I have read in a very long time. I look forward to purchasing the next books! It isn't your typical supernatural romance book it's different with different creatures and I love the uniqueness of this! Is it wrong that I took a morning off from work to read more? Nah!
I really enjoyed reading Trapped in Silver. I loved the characters and the way they interacted. I loved the storyline itself. I was surprised at that ending, though. I can't wait to see what happens next!
Just finished reading this book and I'm left with way more questions than answers. I liked this novel and I loved the premise but it kind of left me hanging. It was a little confusing to read, and the author doesn't do a good job explaining the world she creates- she kind of just expects you to pick up on it throughout the book. It was a fun read but towards the last half of the book it felt like nothing really happened. And of course it ended on a cliffhanger!
So all in all, I'm satisfied with the book but I don't think I would recommend it.
The story of Ava and what she becomes is compelling. The writing leaves something to be desired, but the world she eventually creates is interesting. Looking forward to reading book 2.
I thought this was good, but it tended to confuse me. I had to go back an reread passages because I'd think the characters were in one location but the wording would indicate they are somewhere else. For instance, the author uses the word "floor" to describe the ground outside. It's a regional difference that took me some time to get used to. Sometimes the dialogue was confusing and I had to go reread to figure out who was speaking.
Despite the extra time I had to take to work through my confusion, the story was good enough to keep me reading. It was imaginative and entertaining. Ava is a strong, feisty heroine and the push and pull between her and Ethan is fun and electric. The ending definitely made me want the next book!
