About this listen
The New York Times best-selling author of The Black Jewels Trilogy transports readers to a world of magic and political unrest - where the only chance at peace requires a deadly price....
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 own 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....

It felt a little bit like filler but that didn't mean that it wasn't still really good & wasn't an important part of the series, I had just expected it to be the last book (so glad it wasn't) & so expected more conclusions
Love love love!

Would you listen to Vision in Silver again? Why?
Yes I would listen to this series again as it is refreshingly different from the normal paranormal series with the Monsters as the good guysWho was your favorite character and why?
There are to many characters to pick one favorite. Simon and Meg are the two leed characters. Skippy and Jenny crowguard provided the fun. All the vampier sanginate are somewhat sinister but a pleasant change from the normal super sexy or downright evil of other seriesWhat does Alexandra Harris bring to the story that you wouldn’t experience if you had only read the book?
Alexandra has a plesant voice and over the first three book she has become the voice of Meg and all the other characters. It would be very strange to hear anyone else reading future volumesWas this a book you wanted to listen to all in one sitting?
The whole of the series has been books you just don't want to put down. The story drags you along with it and you just can't wait to find out whats comming nextAny additional comments?
To Anne Bishop. Having now listened to the first three books I can't wait for the next. Please get the next volume out ASAP but don't compromise the story for speedA Brilliant but different story

Well read, I love the various “Aroooo”s she manages for the different wolfs, and even Meg at one point, and her characterisation of the main players is consistent and good.
This is an interesting mix of writing style, some seemingly aimed at the younger end of the YA market, and yet it covers some mature subjects and uses some robust language… I do find the concept of the all-powerful Others tamed by cookies or sugar lumps a bit Disney’esque though!
However, as a not so young A, I enjoy these books, and this is a series I shall definitely stick with.
Enjoyable as always!

Would you recommend this audiobook to a friend? If so, why?
yes its a great series - a different take on the paranormal with great characters and a compelling storylineWhat was one of the most memorable moments of Vision in Silver?
hard to answer without introducing spoilersWhich character – as performed by Alexandra Harris – was your favourite?
Meg of course, but I do love the Aroo's from the wolvesDid you have an emotional reaction to this book? Did it make you laugh or cry?
yes its really compelling and you really do care about the characters - it has funny moments though its not really a funny bookAny additional comments?
This book is really book 3 part 1 - it is clearly setting up for much more action in book 4 and doesn't really have such a complete end as the previous 2 in the series.As other reviewers have said this also concentrates less on Meg and the focus of the story is spread around many more characters. Good in some ways but I do like the way the earlier books are more centred on Meg
Very good but not quite as good as the first 2

I enjoyed “Written In Red” because it was new and fresh, it focused closely on “Our Meg” and her discovery of a world beyond the compound that she’d been kept in, her personal growth and the drama of the plot. It remains one of my favourite fantasy books.
“Murder of Crows” -which could have been subtitled “the humans strike back”- was less intense but provided a much deeper and broader view of this world and put Meg’s background in context. It was an extension of “Written In Red” and helped me see the humans as much more monstrous than the Werewolves and Vampires who provide the public face of The Others.
“Vision In Silver” continues to give a wider view of the world: its inhabitants, its politics, and the strange and strained truce between humans and The Others, but I felt that, in becoming broader, it had lost some of its intensity. I wanted more focus on Meg. I wanted the characters and their relationships to deepen in the same way that the world view does. Although I found out a lot about the characters, more and more of them seemed like plot devices rather than people.
Compared to many Fantasy books I’ve read, “Vision In Silver” is a high quality novel that is satisfying to read, it just didn’t deliver as much as I’d hoped.
There are some very strong scenes in the book: an attack at a market place, the decision of rescued Cassandra Sangue to live when those around her see death as their only way out of an unbearable situation, humans and The Others gardening together, at peace but still very alien to one another. I particularly enjoyed the story of the Cassandra Sangue who finds an alternative to the cutting that shortens their lives: it was told with compassion and empathy without being simply mushy. The story of the little girl and her mother, which forms the central plotline, was also well delivered.
Yet… I felt a little distant from this book. The balance of ideas to emotions tipped a little the wrong way. I felt it was like a sponge that hadn’t quite risen – still tasty and edible but disappointing.
Good but not as good as I'd hoped
