Book Synopsis

The Others freed the Cassandra Sangue to protect the blood prophets from exploitation, not realizing their actions would have dire consequences. Now, the fragile seers are in greater danger than ever before, both from their weaknesses and from those who seek to control their divinations for wicked purposes. In desperate need of answers, Simon Wolfgard, a shape-shifter leader among the Others, has no choice but to enlist blood prophet Meg Corbyn’s help, regardless of the risks she faces by aiding him.

Meg is still deep in the throes of her addiction to the euphoria she feels when she cuts and speaks prophecy. She knows each slice of her blade tempts death. But Others and humans alike need answers, and her visions may be Simon’s only hope of ending the conflict.

For the shadows of war are deepening across the Atlantik, and the prejudice of a fanatic faction is threatening to bring the battle right to Meg and Simon’s doorstep…

The Hook

As I pick up Vision in Silver again, I’m trying to approach it with fresh eyes, as if it’s the first time I’m reading this story. From what I can gather from the synopsis, things are about to get intense. Now that all of the Cassandra Sangue are free from the institutions, they’re beginning to break down, and Meg and Simon are going to have their hands full trying to save them. I’m really curious to see how they’ll tackle this mission without Meg having to rely on cutting herself for answers. Every time she uses the razor, it puts her life in more danger, and I’m hoping they find a better way to navigate her prophecies before it’s too late.

As I dive into this next chapter, I’m eager to see what new obstacles and paths Anne Bishop will throw in Meg’s way. Her journey has been anything but easy so far, and with the fragile state of the “Cassandra Sangue,” the stakes are higher than ever. I’m looking forward to seeing how Meg and Simon grow together as they face these new challenges.

I hope you’ll join me as we jump into Vision in Silver, the next installment in The Others series. Let’s see where this adventure takes us!

As I read Vision in Silver by Anne Bishop, I’ll admit that the book starts off a bit slow. But once you push through the beginning, things really start to pick up toward the early middle of the story. That’s where the plot thickens, and we get introduced to new characters who help flesh out the world and move the story forward. It starts with Meg preparing for a controlled cut and experimenting with ways to increase the time between her cuts. You can really feel the tension in the air as she tries to navigate this dangerous ability. It’s important to note that this series touches on personal physical abuse themes, with Meg cutting herself to reveal prophecies, which may be sensitive for some readers.

What I really love, though, is how her relationship with Simon continues to evolve. Bishop does a fantastic job of balancing the dark themes with the growing connection between Meg and Simon, building their romance slowly but meaningfully. It’s such a pleasure to watch their bond grow stronger, and it’s one of the reasons I keep coming back to this series. Bishop’s world-building is also top-notch, creating an environment where the characters’ interactions feel real and their struggles tangible.

Now that I’ve finished Vision in Silver, I’m eager to dive into Marked in Flesh and see where the story takes us next. The plot is shaping up to be something truly special, and I can’t wait to see what happens next.

Book Spoilers

Disclaimer: This section might contain Spoilers about the book because, as we read the books we try to provide readers with information that might catch them off guard and/or trigger them to in one way or another. This is the main reason for this blog was created.

While Vision in Silver by Anne Bishop is a great read, I feel it’s important to give a heads-up about some of the darker aspects of the story. The most significant and potentially triggering element is that Meg, the protagonist, is a Cassandra Sangue, who cuts herself to reveal prophecies. This can be an emotional and sensitive topic for some readers, especially those who may have experienced or know someone who has engaged in self-harm. The way this is presented in the book can be difficult to read, as it touches on themes of cutting as a means to cope with pain or, in Meg’s case, to reveal visions. If this is something that could be triggering for you, I’d recommend being cautious or possibly avoiding this series.

In addition, there is some adult language scattered throughout the book, which might not be suitable for readers under 18. However, if these elements aren’t issues for you, the story offers rich character development, an intriguing plot, and Anne Bishop’s fantastic world-building.
