Blackbringer was one of my favorite YA fantasy books of all time so I was a bit anxious to get my hands on it's follow-up, Silksinger. I was also anxious to see if Taylor could spin her magic again and drag me into the story so deeply I didn't want to get back out. She did indeed.

This was a wonderful follow-up book that introduces new characters while still weaving in the old ones. This time the main story follows Whisper Silksinger, the last of the Silksinger clan and the guardian of one of the ancient Djinn that the devils are trying so hard to acquire. The Devil Wars are threatening to start up again and as they do Magpie and company must once again stop the tapestry from unraveling and the Devils from taking power.

I loved seeing the characters from Blackbringer back and I also really liked the new cast of characters as well. The bad guy was fairly predictable if you're paying attention and it's amazing how many young Fae are turning out to be super-powerful, extra-gifted and talented. It does stretch my credulity a little. On the other hand, perhaps so many of the Sprouts are turning up with odd and powerful abilities because the age needs knew hereos to defend it. It's a tiny quibble and one that did not keep from enjoying this book immensely.

I am certain there is another book in the series coming and now I'll just have to wait (quite impatiently) for it to get here.
