Visions and silver the third installment of the "other" series has the Lakeside courtyard experiencing new and different challenges. Author Anne Bishop create yet another world that one can of immerse themselves. Like the other worlds that this author has created I have visited many times and hope to continue to visit this world created in this book.not only did I read this book in one sitting but I've already read it three times. This author is a master at creating a dynamic world as well as characters that you want to support and share on to victory. Before reading this book I highly recommend reading the first two in the series.

Interesting storyline. Different from other shifter novels. I've already read the next books for the series and pre-ordered the next. Worth the cost in time and money. I would recommend this series to those who are tired of over the top sex scenes that take up more than half a book. I have no problem with sex scenes but come on, really?

Anne Bishop is one of my favorite authors, and she never fails to write a compelling story. I love the characters and their development, and her alternate Earth is very interesting. I can't say too much more about it without giving out spoilers. So let me conclude by saying that this book lives up to the very high standards of writing, that I expect when Anne Bishop's name is on a book.
Daughter of the Blood / Heir to the Shadows / Queen of the Darkness :: Etched in Bone (A Novel of the Others) :: Institute of Magic (Dragon's Gift - The Druid Book 1) :: Cast in Deception (The Chronicles of Elantra) :: Queen of the Darkness (Black Jewels, Book 3)

This is the third book in the (rather addicting) series! I'd advise reading the other two books first, but if you are already a fan of the series, you will like Vision in Silver. The main two characters and their relationship is not really fitting those typical romance or urban fantasy molds. Their pasts and identify really colors their current way of seeing the world, which is fantastic. It gives us distinct voices. The mystery was good as well.

Anne Bishop is one of my favorite authors. In this book we learn more about the Others, there are a couple of deaths when Others and humans go on an outing. The Others hand down a sentence for a breach of trust by the humans.

I absolutely adore this series!!!!! I am addicted. It’s a testament to Anne Bishop‘s talent that she can make a mail sorter into a compelling, fascinating, and must-read character. These characters are my fictional family.

This series has captured my imagination. I loved Anne Bishop's black jewels series and I tried this series based only on her name. So glad I did.

Meg is such a great heroine. She and Simon will help keep the world safe for their packs- human, wolf, crow, etc. little details of ancillary characters become important later in the series so make sure you file away all the details. I can't wait until the next book.

An excellent continuation of the series. I love the world building and character development.

The story is more sweet and hopeful than dark, though there is plenty of dark characters. The characterization of the terra indigene is almost uniformly positive--not a lot of gray in them, just a different set of priorities to human priorities. And the humans break down into fairly clear good and bad categories. Not a lot of complexity or mixed emotions invoked in the reader, but the end feeling is satisfying none the less.

I really hope the series continues. This book leaves me wanting to find out what happens next.

Anne Bishop does not disappoint with the third installment of The Others series. We learn more about the HFL (Humans First and Last) movement. We get to meet Officer Crispin Montgomery's daughter, Lizzy. We suffer the loss of a couple of characters. There's plenty of action going on throughout the entire book that sends your emotions on an exciting roller coaster ride.

And so another year will be spent waiting for the fourth book in this series: Etched in Flesh. I shall console myself by re-reading Written in Red, Murder of Crows and, now, Vision in Silver... or the Black Jewels Trilogy. Oh, the agony.

OMG Anne Bishop does it again. Meg, Simon, Vlad, the Courtyard human pack and the Lakeside police all grow in this installment of her FANTASTIC, PHENOMENAL series. This is book 3. Written In Red and Murder of Crows are books 1 & 2, and if you haven't read them you are denying yourself a treat. We see more of the Northwest Wolf Jackson and the rescued cassandra sangue. And.... I can hardly wait till the next book!

An excellent addition to a phenomenal series by Anne Bishop! This is one of my favorite series done by one of my favorite authors. I cannot wait to read the next one and I am so excited that there are five books expected for this series. I have read the first two books a few times and each time is just as magical for me. Thank you, Anne Bishop for creating such an amazing world!

I have enjoyed this series and look forward to more. Bishop's characters are well developed and her p[lots are imaginative and unique. The 'others" that the protagonist lives among have interesting ethical dilemmas.

I have always loved Anne Bishops ability to build new believable worlds and "people" them with rich full characters. This reads like American Indian, Japanese Shinto Kami and Asian Karma all rolled into one wonderful mix. Throw in shape changer, vampiric folk and soul eaters plus elementals to the mix yet it is so believable. All I can say is do not miss this series and hopefully this is not the last in the series.

Very disapponting. Nothing really happens in this book. I kept waiting for Meg and Sam's relationship to be explored or some other major plot change. I don't think I'll read he next one. You could probably skip the one and just read the next. You wouldn't miss much.

Anne Bishop is an amazing author. She writes stories for readers who love to be transported to places that are truly special and unique. The Black Jewels Trilogy are my favorite, but Meg, the msin female character, is rapidly becoming a favorite.

Wow this is another series of books from Anne bishop that captured me very intensely!!!! Read the first two book in a week which is pretty fast for me since I'm a very busy mom,wife and working women. Already ordered me the 4th book and hope that it won't be the last!!!!

Meg and Simon continue to try to reconcile Humans and the Others. This plot involves Human hate groups and attempts to solve the mysteries of the Blood Prophets. Bishop continues to deliver strong stories in an interesting world. It does lose some of its emotional depth because the scope of the story is moving outside the main characters.

I feel like I did myself a disservice by expecting this series to wrap up within a trilogy and as such I was unprepared for an extended, slower paced series. It's not a bad book but if you are used to Jim Butcher's pacing of epic middles that lead to even more epic endings it will be a bit of a let down.

I love both serious literature and fluffy paranormal romance. This series is a beautiful blend of both. The analogies to real human struggles for equality, honesty and justice are significant while miraculously remaining subtle and organic to the plot. The only request I have is that the author moves the romance between Meg and Simon forward in a bigger leap in the 4th book. I understand and admire the current pacing but a 4th book without a more significant step would be dissatisfying.
Great job!

I came to Anne Bishop late as a recommendation from one of my daughters. I have read the first three books several times, they are one of a very few I keep on Kindle. the pacing is well done and the characters are true to their form although the wolves remind me more of my Great Danes than furry monster type critters. Enjoyable and a recommended read.

Amazingly addictive, as every book in the series has been thus far. The characters and worlds the author creates defy description. I can't explain WHY these books are so addictive, but I can tell you this--I read a LOT of books, but Anne Bishop's are the only books I have read while stopped at a red light because I simply could not wait until I got to my destination to continue the story. They are just that good

Wow. Things sure have changed from books one and two. Anything after book two are now filler books.

The series WAS interesting even though Meg was a whiny weak woman and main character.

Now these books are just filled with useless conversation and mundane problems that take paragraph after boring paragraph to work itself out.
So unneeded and when you start to skip parts of the book, you've lost the reader.

Meg and Simon should have been a love story slowly evolving, but this relationship is ridiculous and stupid.

WHO would see Meg as anything but a constant problem?

In the middle of a work day she ends up stopping nearly everyone from what they're doing to tend to her. Gah!

It's like she's some precious commodity that is to be treasured and coddled constantly. I. cannot. stand. Meg.

At all.

The Sanguinati are a much more interesting group in the books, yet they're never really focused on or developed. For a second there, I thought Vlad and Merri Lee had something, but it never came to fruition.

Vlad is a handsome, interesting character and he's a dumb book store owner. His character isn't utilized to its full extent and Vlad is left as a blah vampire who jumps into the fray when needed, but that's about it.

At this point, the majority of the book focus's on Meg's idiocy or her fellow blood prophets and their infantile needs. Really tired of these girls.

The only interesting thing going on are the humans trying to take land away from the others. Doesn't happen.

These books should have stopped after one or two....No need to drag this out at all.

If characters aren't going to really develop relationships or evolve into something more,then just end it already.

The entire lengthy story winds the reader up for some huge human wipe out by the other others. There are the others and the other others. The ones hiding in the wilderness. The elders.
Not much happens when they attack.
Book was a big let down.

Not since the "Dark Jewels", by Anne Bishop herself has there been another series of books that grabs the reader's imagination, as this one has. Anne, those of us with dark souls miss the S'aDiablo lands and it's noble gentlemen who are no one's gentle anything, and the fierce and courageous Queens.

I love this series. I am fascinated by the complex, unique world and its characters. My only disappointment was there wasn't enough time between just Meg and Simon. I wanted more this time so I am impatient for the next book.

I have thoroughly enjoyed reading this entire series. This is #3. Start with the first two or you'll be very confused. Bishop has created an alternate universe that, while unlikely, is believable. It balances danger, the unknown, and typical everyday life to produce a book you can't put down -- and it has been a long time since I've been able to say that.

Loved it! I've already reread it once. Wonderful continuation in world building, learning about the Elders who inhabit the wild country, both complicating and simplifying the interactions between the different races of Terra Indigene, furthering the relationship between the humans, Intuits, and Terra Indigene, seeing the relationship between Simon and Meg change and grow. My only complaint is having to wait around a year for the next installment.

Great book. Continues the story of the first 2 books. I read all 3 in a row, so I am kinda done with the story for a while, but I found the story to be very engaging and thought provoking. Such a different take on the world.

I LOVED IT. I highly recommend this series. I just sent express how much I love this book. My only regret is that I finished Visions in silver too soon and I have to wait for the next book. I loved the ending and I highly recommend the Others series read written in red and start the series.

I really enjoyed this installment. Not that much happened, especially for Meg, but that's okay. There were a lot of nice character moments and a hefty dose of suspense. Will the humans go extinct in the next book? I will certainly be tuning in to find out.

This series is really interesting. I have been reading Science Fiction and Fantasy for more than 45 years. It's unusual to find something with a whole new twist but Anne Bishop has done it. This is the third book in her Others series. I hope she writes many more.
