![]() ![]() I never quite felt on the same page as the second female heroine, Irina, possibly due to personality differences and choices she made. It took me a while to care about Miryem and her world-possibly because Miryem had to harden herself to help her family, and I know/care little for economics-but once I did, I couldn’t stop reading to find out what would happen to her and her friends and family. Partly because of these extra, delicious layers of meaning, I could read this novel again and again and find new treasures each time. ![]() I love how Novik weaves the themes of hope, despair, power and greed into winter and sunlight and silver and gold. ![]() Torn between deadly choices, Miryem and her two unlikely allies embark on a desperate quest that will take them to the limits of sacrifice, power, and love. When the Staryk king gives her an impossible challenge, Miryem unwittingly spins a web that pulls in a peasant girl and the unhappy daughter of a local lord. Her ability to turn silver into gold draws the attention of the king of the Staryk-grim fey creatures who appear more ice than flesh. ![]() Miryem’s father’s inability to collect his debts has left his family on the edge of poverty-until Miryem takes matters into her own hands. Spinning Silver is a blizzard–fierce, powerful, and beautiful. ![]()
