Review: Silver in the Bone

Silver in the Bone Silver in the Bone by Alexandra Bracken
My rating: 4 of 5 stars

Tamsin never wanted to be a thief.  Unfortunately, she has no magical talent and thievery was the only thing her foster father taught her … before he disappeared.  She has kept it together, barely, for ten years when she hears a rumor about what he was looking for.  This powerful ring was connected to an Arthurian legend and might be the key to breaking a curse on her brother.   Other Hollowers are looking for this ring and Tamsin must pair up with Emrys to hunt the ring down.  They must overcome dark magic and deep secrets while also attempting to save her brother.

Silver in the Bone is the first book in a series with the same name.  This fantasy novel has many Arthurian legend components, but it isn’t a story of King Arthur.  I just want to clear this up before you go into it thinking it is.  Bracken has taken liberty with many Camelot stories and crafted a completely independent tale.  Even readers who are only loosely knowledgeable about King Arthur and Camelot can enjoy this story.  Silver in the Bone is a fresh twist on an old legend.
