Review: Silver (Bandia, #1) by Talia Vance
Synopsis:
"As I step into the room, a silver flash blurs my vision. Before I can take a breath, the world falls away."
Brianna
has always felt invisible. People stare right past her, including the
one boy she can't resist, Blake Williams. But everything changes at a
house party where Brianna's charm bracelet slips off and time stands
still. In that one frozen, silver moment, Blake not only sees her, he
recognizes something deep inside her she's been hiding even from
herself.
Discovering she is descended from Danu, the legendary
Bandia of Celtic myth, Brianna finds herself questioning the truth of
who she is. And when she accidentally binds her soul to Blake, their
mutual attraction becomes undeniable.
But Blake has his own secret, one that could prove deadly for them both.
Bound
together by forbidden magic, Brianna and Blake find themselves at the
heart of an ancient feud that threatens to destroy their lives and their
love.
Review:
I loved the Irish folklore, and the lore of the Milesians, Danu and
Killian. The Seventh Sons and Daughters are now out to kill each other
and our heroine Brianna is a Seventh daughter, but has a past that is
unknown to her apart from stories her Nana told when she was younger.
The
characters were great and the story easily weaved them in and out with
perfect pace. There's a lot of drama and tension but mostly between
Brianna, Blake and Austin (yes, there's a triangle!)
What I
wasn't keen on was the heavy narrative between each piece of dialogue.
Sometimes I had to skip it to get to the next bit. Sometimes I thought the story lacked depth. But overall it's a
good yarn brought into modern day. If you're a fan of books with
folklore and history then this is for you!
