Een must read!

Of Sword & Silver by January Bell is the story of thief Kyrie, who stole something and now is cursed. To break this curse, she needs someone called The Sword, but he is in prison ….

What is this book a great and fantastic one! I was completely hooked from the very first. You get thrown right into the action as Kyrie finds out she is cursed, and I immediately loved her. She is so funny, but hides much pain. She does not let anyone get close, except Lara, who has visions and tells Kyrie what to do about the curse.

And The Sword, what a great character that one is. He is mysterious, hides much, is a fierce warrior, and as a reader you keep guessing all along the story who he is. There are some hints, and when at the end it is revealed who he is, it did not really come as a surprise, but his story is so well told by January Bell. He and Kyrie have a great chemistry, and as Kyrie keeps on goating him, it was so much fun to read their interactions. They are very different, but so right for eachother, so you keep rooting for them. The side characters are fantastic as well.

The writing style is phenomonal, it is flowing and fast paced and the plot is fantastic. The whole story is so well thought of by January Bell! The magic system is great as well, and the wordlbuilding is amazing, and I just loved the mythology woven into the story. I had a really hard time putting the book down.

Of Sword & Silver is a great fantasy novel, with a wonderful plot, a lovely and likable FMC, a mysterious grumpy MMC, some swoony romance, twists and turns, and with a mesmering writing style. It is one of the best novels I have read and I cannot wait to read the sequel after the cliffhanger! I really want to know what will happen next!
