I’m pleased to announce that popular parent blogger, Karlynn Johnston, of thesupermom.com, highly recommended Wyndano’s Cloak for preteens and young adults! Johnston said, “Silverberry weaves a magical tale . . . chock full of everything a great fantasy novel needs; dashing young men, adventures galore, treachery, love and intrigue . . . it’s an excellent foray into the genre of fantasy books. The fact that there are two strong, capable female main characters makes it exceptionally appropriate for girls this age.”

It looks like Karlynn discontinued the supermom.com site, so the full review can no longer be seen there.

Here is the full text she had on her site:

Wyndano’s Cloak is chock full of everything a great fantasy novel needs; dashing young men, adventures galore, treachery, love and intrigue. The best part in my opinion, is that it isn’t the male characters who save the day but rather the two very strong female protagonists who are battling to save the kingdom from the evil that came from within and from outside.

Set in the magical Kingdom of Aerdem, we meet Princess Jen, the main character who is strong willed, determined and smart. She is forewarned of a terrible event that is going to happen, but only receives snatches of the whispered warning. She must figure out what is going to happen and prevent it in time.

Through her adventure we meet other characters; shy but brave Bit who is engaged to the Prince, other members of the royal family of Aerdem and we travel to the “plain world”.

By using two plot lines that meet and culminate wonderfully at the end, A.R. Silverberry weaves a magical tale that has you seamlessly bouncing between the two stories, excitedly wondering when and how they shall intertwine and resolve.

I highly recommend this book for pre-teens and young adults, it’s an excellent foray into the genre of fantasy books. The fact that there are two strong, capable female main characters makes it exceptionally appropriate for girls this age.
