You honestly can’t beat a bit of non-stop action adventure. What follows is exactly what I’ve come to expect from Jen Williams. A new adventure with his friends seems like the perfect opportunity to get back to his former self. For the first time in his life, he is adrift and lacking in purpose. Sebastian in particular is a changed man. Wydrin, Frith and Sebastian have survived the events in Skaldshollow, but those events have most definitely left their mark. The Silver Tide picks up after the events of The Iron Ghost. I don’t want it to be over dramatic but the end is nigh!

Sadly though, in the back of mind was that niggling little voice. I’ve loved this series, every page has been a delight, and I couldn’t wait for this latest instalment. I have been looking forward to this and dreading it in equal measure. Deep within the island of the gods, there are remnants of forces best left undisturbed…Īnd so with a heavy heart we have come to the final book in The Copper Cat trilogy *sniffs*. But no explorer has returned from the heart of the island, and it’s not long before the Three find themselves in the clutches of peril. She needs the skills of her daughter Wydrin and her companions to get there, and our heroes cannot resist the lure of coin and adventure. Having foiled powerful mages and evil magic, they now face a challenge unlike any before – in the form of Wydrin’s mother.ĭevinia the Red, notorious pirate and captain of the Poison Chalice, is intent on finding the fabled treasure hidden within the jungles of the cursed island of Euriale. Tales of the Black Feather Three and their exploits abound far and wide, and Wydrin of Crosshaven, Lord Aaron Frith and Sir Sebastian have become sell swords in demand. If you haven’t read books one and two there is a good chance that the following review may contain some mild spoilers. Be warned The Silver Tide is the third book in a trilogy.
