Silvern The Gilded Series (Book 2) picks up three months after Gilded, when Jae Hwa is testing for her 2nd level black belt. In the ring, she meets a warrior from the spirit world, and from there, the story is off and running. Kud, a supernatural bad-guy even greater than she defeated in the first book, now wants her help to find the rest of the missing orbs and defeat the other Korean deities and overthrow the world. Jae would do anything to stop him, until he goes after her loved ones, one by one.
Jae's best friends are likable and they help her on the journey. She gets the opportunity to travel into North Korea, and the division between North Korea and South Korea becomes a natural part of the plot. Once again, Jae is forced to make sacrifices and very hard choices, but she is a warrior.
This is a middle book in a series, and in a hero's journey, this is typically the low point for the hero. This is true for Jae, but the reader believes she can save Korea, save the people she loves, and do whatever that requires.
The book cover is gorgeous. The characters act exactly as they should for their age and the plot. This book is one I will buy for my classroom.
I received a copy of this book from the publisher in exchange for an honest review.
