A review by lalexvp
Death by Silver by Amy Griswold, Melissa Scott
4.0
Overall, this was a good book. The magic and world building were really interesting and well done. I loved how the enchantments work and how the characters each interacted with the idea of magic differently. The characters and their backgrounds were also well done. Their romance, however, was not engaging in the slightest.
This was highly reviewed by two of my favourite authors, so I decided to give it a try even though I typically don’t like “who done it” books. And I think that’s probably the only problem with this book - I just don’t like this variety. I found the driving plot, the mystery itself, dull and predictable. I knew who had done it from their first introduction on the page, which was disappointing.
I think there are more than one book here and I may give the others a try after a little break from the mystery scene.
