Here we are again with a new release! The Sound of Silver is the sequel to The Sound of Diamonds, by Rachelle Rea. I have read both in the past month--you can see my review of Diamonds here. But today we're focusing on Silver... I have to say, I love the covers for the Steadfast Love series! They rank pretty close to the top of my favorite book covers out there!
BACK COVER
The stalwart saint and the redeemed rebel. One is fighting for faith, the other for honor…
After Dirk rescues Gwyneth from the Iconoclastic Fury, she discovers that faith is sometimes fragile—and hope is not as easy as it may seem. Gwyneth continues her quest to learn more about the love of God preached by Protestants she once distrusted.
Meanwhile, Dirk’s quest is to prevent his sullied name from staining hers. Will his choice to protect her prove the undoing of her first faltering steps toward a Father God? Once separated, will Dirk and Gwyneth’s searching hearts ever sing the same song?
MY REVIEW
Thankfully, "Silver" began right where "Diamonds" left off. Though not as much excitement was induced as "Diamonds" (not as much action). I felt a little more emphasis on romance (again, kisses, hugs, feelings, but nothing more) than I cared for but there was still a very strong message. Of surrender. Of trust. Of truth.
Rohesia's wisdom was beautiful. I loved her conversation with Gwyn.
I did NOT like the ending!! ;) Book three has some very important things to resolve (and better come quickly! :)).
*I received this book from the author in exchange for an honest review*

QUOTES
“Faith cannot be bartered or shoved or forced.”“I was waiting for what I thought was the better thing. And God gave me what was truly best.”
What good did it do to have figuratively sat at the feet of scholars when I knew little about sitting at the feet of the Lord as Rohesia said Jesus’ followers had literally done?
I tilted my head back, reminding myself he was my friend, and friends do not break friends’ noses.
Her smile deepened yet again. “What else are mothers for?” Touching her shoulder, I said, “Praying.”
