Palace of Silver by Hannah West {Blog Tour}

I want to say happy release day to this gorgeous book!! I'm excited that it's finally released out into the world and I definitely would recommend it!

Two queens confront the ultimate choice as a rebellion emerges against a dangerous despot - and both sides want them dead. When the world of magic is under threat, is loyalty worth their lives? Wickedness awaits in this exhilarating installment in the acclaimed Nissera Chronicles.

Return to Nissera, land of three kingdoms and home to spectacular magic. An uneasy peace reigns now that Valory has vanquished the Moth King and settled into her rightful place as queen of Calgoran. New leaders Glisette and Kadri hope to usher the neighboring kingdoms into an era of healing and prosperity. All should be well.

But there's a fourth queen in charge: Ambrosine, banished overseas to Perispos. Driven by vanity, she vows to become the most powerful and beautiful ruler in the world, even if it means oppressing the mortal kingdom she is meant to protect. Meanwhile a dangerous uprising led by elicromancer-hating rebels gains momentum. Rot spreads through the Forest of the West Fringe. Valory goes missing. Facing enemies on all sides, Glisette and Kadri must reckon with the role of magic. How far will they go to defend their power - and can they build an uprising of their own?

West intertwines homages to Snow White and Bluebeard with her imaginative magical setting for a breathtaking follow-up to Realm of Ruins. Stunning hardcover edition includes a two-page map and family tree.

My Rating:

Quote(s) I Like:
"Your first execution. How does it feel? I feel . . . riveted."

"The sky was a tapestry of silver stars and wool-gray clouds."

"You saw me destroy so much...I wanted to show you what I could build."

My Thoughts:
Having had the chance to read the second book in the series, Realms of Ruins, I was excited to get my hands on the third book. Of course this picks up after the sequel and follows two "new" characters while still giving time to Valory. Glisette and Kadri are the two main characters of this novel and I'd say they were well written.

The writing and character development were very good. I loved that this book brought in the LGBT+ rep into it. I loved that each of the characters were a bit headstrong and determined each step of the way. Four queens who are different in many aspects and I loved that none of them felt the same.

I think this was a perfect balance of intrigue, drama and magic. The pacing is perfect! Each turn of the page excites you for what's going to happen next in the story.

Overall, this was a good installment to the Nissera Chronicles and I'm intrigued enough to read more from Hannah West!

About the Author:

I'm the author of young adult books including The Nissera Chronicles series and The Bitterwine Oath. I've been writing fantasy since kindergarten, when I penned my first tale about a princess who ran away and lived at the top of a flagpole with two loaves of bread. But it wasn't until I studied abroad in Orléans, France during college that the premise for my first novel materialized. The fairy tale castles, the snowy winter days, and a Disney princess pencil that arrived in a care package from my parents provided the inspiration that allowed me to wrangle all my untold and unfinished stories into a novel.

I currently live in the Dallas area with my husband and our two rambunctious rescue dogs.
