I am delighted to meet a character who doesn't have convince herself she is strong. She's smart and stubborn and accepting of herself--without the fluff-headed drama of our beloved Aisling. She's ass-kicking and considerate, all in the same package.
Long live Mayling! I am so pleased to meet you.

I loved all four of MacAlister's Aisling Grey novels, and this book is an offshoot of that series. One of the minor characters in several Aisling Grey novels is at the center of this one. I was hoping that Aisling and Jim, my two favorite characters from the other novels, would show up, and they do, for which the book is guaranteed at least three stars. Like the Aisling Grey novels, this book is laugh-out-loud funny and highly entertaining. It's one I could read over and over again for pure enjoyment.

I will admit to liking the character of May... other than that, I will say that the rest of the book had me doing either "oh please" or "aargh!" I stopped reading it 3 times, only to resume because there was nothing else and I CANNOT be without my daily dose of reading! He hehe...but enough of my psychoses.
About May, it is really nice to see that Ms. MacAlister has -finally!- brought forth a female main character who is able to fend for herself, who is no simpering female at the mercy of her hormones. Gabriel was one of my faves from Holy Smokes, and the fact that he betrayed the main characters in favor of his own agenda added depth to his character; but here he is another love-struck dragon in the same boat as Drake the uber-sexy. What a waste.I have really tried to like Drake and the other dragons, but they are so 2-dimensional it makes me want to cry. And once again, Aisling is clueless!!! aaarrrggghhhhh!!!
I'm ok now.
BTW, if you have not visited the otherworld.com site you will have a bit of difficulty keeping up with all the members of the L'au-dela. The cast of background characters is longer than that of Naruto Shippuuden.

Great continuation to the Guardian series. I'm glad Drake and Aisling are in this book. Gabriel meets his mate and she is great.

I was a little nervous about starting this series (Silver Dragons) because I really loved the Aisling Grey series and wondered if this one would be as good. I am glad that I decided to give this a chance and read it. It was great - funny and quirky, with strong characters, and I found myself wanting more when it was over. Some characters from the Aisling Grey series were in this story as well - I like when characters can reappear and not just slip into the great unknown. I can't wait to read the next book in the series. I recommend that you read the Aisling Grey series first and then pick this one up so you can get all the back story.
