I know there’s been quite a difference of opinion on this series, but I’m going to side with Malin here. This is my favorite current series of books. I’m a little bit in love with them. A Vision in Silver is book three of Anne Bishop’s “Others” books, and they focus on Meg Corbyn, a young blood prophet who seeks shelters with the world’s “others”, the terra indigene, who were the first inhabitants of the earth.

The buzz has since died down a little, but every single time I asked someone […]
