Titan Books

406 pages

4.5/5

A Demon in Silver was an unexpected surprise for me when I read it last year.  I only bought it because it happened to be on buy one get one half price in Waterstone’s but I ended up enjoying it immensely.  Then, after reading the Steelhaven trilogy earlier in the year my expectations were raised even higher for this book.  Thankfully it did not disappoint.

Also, the cover is effing gorgeous.  That green!  That axe!  So beautiful.
