I love Tanya Huff’s style of writing as much as I like her wonderful ideas.

The heroes and heroines in her novels are so well crafted you almost feel you know them personally, which to my mind is the key to a good read.

The Silvered has Steampunk elements. It is, however, set in an invented world that shows some resemblance to our 19th century. The book is a thrilling fantasy novel combining Steampunk with magic: I love the combination.

From Ju's list on combining fantasy with “the past”.

I trust Tanya Huff to create a complex and fascinating world, but The Silvered goes beyond that because the characters discover magical possibilities that surprise them and thus the reader. Set in a steam-punk world with witches and werewolves, I was expecting this book to be fun; I wasn’t expecting to have my mind blown. But as the threads come together, the main character’s epiphany left me reeling as I processed with her, beautifully merging the paranormal and epic fantasy genres. I love Huff, and this is my favorite of her books!
