Book Review: Silver dragon
Posted on 20/08/2024 17:17:31Silver dragon by Eileen Mueller
My rating: 5 healing stars
Love is like that. It multiplies and often heals the one who gives.
Another wonderful novelette by Eileen Mueller and I loved it even more than Bronze Dragon.
This is the story of Marlies, a young healer's apprentice and a tree singer, who reminded me of Menolly from Dragonsinger - Because of her fierce spirit!
Marlies' family has come upon hard times after her father's business was burned to the ground and now they're struggling to make a living. The father by roaming across the land trying to get his business back up, while Marlies and her mother do other people's laundry to put food on the table. And to make things worse, Marlies has to make sure to stay clear off the Nightshaders, a group of troublemakers led by Bruno; a vicious bully and the son of the wealthiest man in town. They accuse Marlies of being a witch and want retribution for her failure at saving someone they new.
One day, things go too far. The gang corners Marlies and Bruno pulls a knife on her, drawing blood. And it is that day that Marlies is given a chance. To learn how to defend herself, as well as other littlings that fall prey to Bruno, or to keep hiding and running, to obey her healer's oath that compels her to "not hurt others." And she'll have to make a choice, especially as her healer's abilities will set her in the path of a stunning silver dragon.
An enchanting little tale full of feeling, this novelette will have you at the edge of your seat and set you on an emotional roller coaster.
For such a short story, it has all the making of a fabulous read. It made me want to cry because I could practically feel the grief of both a dragon and girl. It made me want to trash a certain bully. And it made me smile at a littling's joy, surrounded by the love of both humans and dragons alike.
Now I am barely waiting to dive into the rest of the series. Because if the prequel was so great, the novels are bound to be even better!
Aren't these covers gorgeous!!!
If you love Pern and Eragon,this would be a perfect fit for you! I highly recommend it!
So go ahead and give it a try! Who knows, you might end up loving it just as much as I did!
Happy reading! :)
