Yes, Felicia 's character was annoying, but she was still an interesting character. Unlike other reviews I don't think that it was a problem that Andrew wan't a big part of the story this time. Even though Felicia and Silver's relationship was tumultuous, I was rooting for them to connect meaningfully.

Looking forward to the next book. I just couldn't get into this book. See this review and others like it at Badass Book Reviews! I am a huge fan of Rhiannon Held's Silver series and Reflected was an enjoyable installment. There were a few differences in this book that shook the series up a little bit, but Ms. Held's solid storytelling was on show as always.

Reflected (Silver , book 3) by Rhiannon Held

I don't recommend new readers start the series with this book because you will miss out on all the background about what makes Silver Silver and you'll miss a lot of the nuances about pack dynamics and the sub-a See this review and others like it at Badass Book Reviews! I don't recommend new readers start the series with this book because you will miss out on all the background about what makes Silver Silver and you'll miss a lot of the nuances about pack dynamics and the sub-alphas. Silver is not only the name of the series, but also the name of the female lead. Silver has become one of my favorite heroines in the urban fantasy genre.

She is strong, smart, and sympathetic, but I think her ability to overcome adversity is what makes me really love her. She has had a traumatic past but, with every book, she becomes stronger and grows more comfortable with the person she was forced to become. In Reflected , Dare is gone for most of the book and Silver has to stand as Roanoke on her own. This means she serves as alpha of a large majority of the North American werewolf packs. When a sub-alpha and her beta come with a disagreement about pregnant female weres serving as alphas, Silver has to use all her cunning and strength to make sure this issue doesn't turn into a revolt for the other sub-alphas.

It also dredges up some personal issues for her because she cannot have children of her own. While Silver is dealing with the sub-alphas, Dare's daughter Felicia is facing troubles of her own. Felicia has only been living with Dare for a year or so, after defecting from the Spain pack, and still feels like she doesn't quite belong.

When a childhood friend comes into Roanoke territory, she lies to protect who he really is and thinks that he might want to leave Spain as well. Instead, he has plans to blackmail Felicia into hurting her pack members and Silver in particular. Felicia has to figure out how to stop him without making her pack think she is still loyal to Spain. I loved seeing Silver step into a leadership role in Reflected. She has always been a commanding personality, but it was good to finally see the others wolves take her seriously on her own and not just as Dare's mate.

See a Problem?

She made competent decisions that, though fueled by some emotion, were for the good of the packs and all their members. Though she still has trouble with the human world from time to time, she showed that she can still function in it when necessary and that she will push herself to the limits if it means protecting her friends and her pack. She was a little whiny, very stubborn, and too afraid to ask for help. She had a believable reason for that fear, everyone still being a little shifty because she is from a European pack, but she still caused more trouble than she would have if she had just gone to the pack with her problems.

Felicia is trying to grow up and find her place in Reflected , but things are still tenuous and she's afraid they will kick her out. She is working to define a mother-daughter relationship with Silver and is never quite sure how to treat her. With Dare gone, she's not sure how she could share her problems and Silver isn't quite sure how to reach her either. It was nice to see them begin to form a real bond by the end of the novel. I think she has also learned the lesson that sometimes asking for help is the most adult choice.

White I didn't find the story in Reflected to be quite as strong as the previous books, it did deepen the world Ms. Held began in Silver and continued to strengthen and grow the characters we know and love. It was nice to see bigger roles for Susan and Tom and I loved the pack interactions. This is just the beginning of Silver and Dare's tribulations as Roanoke alphas and I am eager to see what challenges lie in store for them in future novels. Apr 14, Hannah M. I enjoyed a lot of this book though I have to admit I did miss Dare and John even though I understand why Held wrote the book the way she did.

Reflected is where Silver and Felicia shine, or in some cases flail mostly Felicia , without Dare in the picture. It picks up about three years after Tarnished ends and I think that was a great decision on the part of Held. Felicia on the other hand is reintroduced to us freshly into adulthood with a serious case of puppy love pun intended on the brain and a burning need to prove herself. I was really interested to see how Felicia would come into the picture in Reflected being an insider in the way of genetics and a super outsider having been raised in a European pack.

These things made for a mostly enjoyable read. To the point where I actually had to put the book down for a while because I thought she was being so stupid and headstrong.

Silver Series

It was a struggle because I was actually quite invested into the story line, especially what Silver was having to deal with as alpha of the North American packs. However, once I got over it and finished the book, I can say that Felicia was punished and redeemed and I am okay with her now, mostly. Reflected had two story lines going on that ended up intertwining in some ways.

She writes stories that leave you intrigued and begging for more and Reflected is no exception.

This book is much more pack politics focused, but it was in no way lacking the little touches that make — and keep — this world alive for me. Prime example being Morsel the cat. Jun 19, Dr susan rated it it was amazing Shelves: I think there is a little more humor than in Silver and Tarnished, and Death is not the only funny wolf. This world is so unique in its portrayal of actual day-to-day pack life, and the concessions that are made for Silver's version of reality, and Susan's human presence in the pack. Yes, there is teen angst, but the story did not suffer from our look at Felicia's attempts to fit in and protect the pack.

I wish Edmond had made a few more appearances, since his play habits are hysterically geared to growing up a wolf. Dare and John are mostly absent in this story, but in my opinion that did not make Reflected any less enthralling. I do not usually discuss other reviews, but one reviewer said that the males had to swoop in and save the day at the beginning and end of the book Silver's strength, humanity, and love for the wolves in her care is evident throughout the book.

Her struggles with PTSD and the damage caused by the silver poisoning continue without any miraculous fixes. For those readers who think that a wolf would have no problems with PTSD, military working dogs are routinely being diagnosed with and treated for Post Traumatic Stress Disorder. I hope there will be more stories of Silver, Dare, and their wolves and people. I will read Reflected again in a couple of days, while Silver and Tarnished are fresh in my mind.

Rhiannon Held kindly responded to my question and told me that book 4 is written, and she is waiting on word from her publisher on a contract for A fantastic addition to the urban fantasy world, the Silver series adds a hint of magic to a robust and realistic world.

Intellectually, I love that this book is very much about holding power as a woman, balancing family and authority, and the realistic struggle for respect and cohesiveness. Mar 14, Jeffrey Grant rated it really liked it. This book breaks from the previous two in that the main character of the last several books, Dare, isn't followed as a point of view character at all. It tracks Silver, his distressed mate, and Felicia, the daughter he rescued in book 2. It also takes place 3 years after the events in book 2, which was a surprising gap when I noticed it but it was necessary to push the plot with Felicia along.

Felicia getting restless and dealing with an infiltrator from Spain who snuck in while Dare was away, and Silver dealing with a challenge related to female Alphas and pregnancy.

The book actually felt more like a YA book in tone and pacing; Felicia's entire arc was predictable and kind of formulaic. Silver's bits were more interesting and slightly more complicated so I enjoyed them more, but I didn't think the parts with Felicia were bad, per se, just more simplistic.

I still enjoyed it overall and I was interested in following both women. I saw someone mention that this was the last book in the series. I suppose it could be since there weren't any significant cliffhangers or loose ends, and this series never had an overarching threat that needed to be resolved, so it could end without leaving things unfinished, but if the author revisited the story I wouldn't mind reading some more.

Aug 14, Stacy rated it really liked it Shelves: I gave it 3. Dare is called away and Silver has to hold the pack on her own. They both felt it would be pretty easy but unfortunately things go wrong. Silver and Dare don't get a lot of time together in I gave it 3. Silver and Dare don't get a lot of time together in book 3 and I missed him for most of the book. They are just to awesome together to be separated. When Dare leaves Felicia decides to rebel in the worst way. The way she treated Silver really broke my heart.

Silver is forced to once again "un-break" herself and it is so hard to watch her go through the pain that causes. By the end things have once again changed. Although their relationship needed to change, I wish their conflict had not taken up the whole book. I still really love Susan. She has grown into her pack position and she is a great friend and support to Silver. Anyone that still sees her as human quickly sees otherwise. Held's world still draws me in and her writing and characters keeps me reading.

I don't see any mention of a book 4, please tell me the series isn't over! I know Silver has her pack and family now but I need more. Mar 08, Rebekah rated it really liked it Shelves: Silver and her mate Andrew Dare have become their pack leaders for all of the were-wolfs of North America. Dare's daughter from his first marriage, Felicia, has come to live with Sliver and Dare in Washington State. Felicia gets herself into a bit of trouble and is not sure how to dig her way back out.

I enjoyed this book just as much as the first two books in the series. I wish I was able to get my hands on the fourth book in the series, Wolfsbane, to continue reading! Perhaps I will be able to pick the series back up at a later date and continue on with Silver and Dare. This book deserves a raing of 4. Jul 30, Kemi rated it liked it Shelves: I was really looking forward to reading the final book in the Silver trilogy, especially after finishing the second one.

I was disappointed with "Reflected", though. The story seemed disjointed, and I thought Felicia was a terrible spoiled brat, and not a strong enough character to base a story around. EVERY choice she made was the wrong one, and while I know it's part of being a teen, the fact that she made misstep after misstep drove me crazy. Even Silver was demoted to the background, and Dar I was really looking forward to reading the final book in the Silver trilogy, especially after finishing the second one.

Even Silver was demoted to the background, and Dare was barely mentioned in the story. He was greatly missed. The side story about Portland felt unresolved. Her situation was an interesting point I hadn't considered, and it definitely could have used more attention. I'd suggest ending with "Tarnished" and skipping "Reflected" altogether.

Felicia is your standard insecure teenager filled with angst and swimming in parental issues, but when she lies to protect one of the Spanish werewolves who she is sure is there to cause trouble, she starts a series of events that may cause her to lose everything, destabilize the entire North American werewolf hierarchy and put Silver in a mental institution which is exactly what the werewolves in Madrid want. Feb 03, Julia rated it liked it Shelves: I have mixed feelings about this book. Emotionally, however, I didn't like Felicia very much at all, and had to force myself to engage for the half of the book where I have mixed feelings about this book.

Emotionally, however, I didn't like Felicia very much at all, and had to force myself to engage for the half of the book where she had center stage. I love this series, I'm definitely interested in coming back for more, but this particular book relied too heavily on characters that I wasn't emotionally invested in, thus lessening my overall interest in the book.

Full review to follow. Jan 28, Mary rated it really liked it Shelves: Book 3 in the Silver series. Now that everything has settled down since Silver and Andrew Dare became alphas of the N. American werewolves, everything seems to be working out. Then Andrew needs to go to Alaska to settle a dispute, which leaves Silver to deal with Felicia and any issues that arise Told mostly from Felicia's Dare's 18 year-old daughter point of view, this book has Book 3 in the Silver series.

Told mostly from Felicia's Dare's 18 year-old daughter point of view, this book has a different feeling from the first two in the series. It feels more like a coming of age story than a paranormal romance, but it is well told and engaging. I loved the first two in this series, and this one was good, but not quite as good as the first two.

Apr 14, April rated it liked it Shelves: Even though at the beginning of the book, Silver's mate leaves and I think, "OK, what kind of jeopardy is coming for her now," I still really enjoyed Held's third book in the Silver series. In this one, Silver's relationship with her stepdaughter Felicia and Felicia's own growing pains take precedence.

There is a fair amount in there about growing up versus growing apart and about parents and children, whether of the blood or of the heart.
