Heart of Silver Flame (Sea and Stars) Paperback – May 29, 2020

This is one of the best fantasy lesbian books I’ve read in a long time

This continuation takes a turn toward the dark, but also the steamy. Without spoilers, let me just say that Dauriel is magnificent as in the previous installment, but the plot takes a turn I definitely did not expect. Gobbled this one up in a very short time.

The only thing you'll regret is the wait until the third book comes out!We join Tallora six months after Fate of Stars ends, and it has been a long and lonely time for her back home beneath the sea in Stelune. Much to her chagrin, she is now known as the Great Survivor, and merfolk use her story to stir up unrest against Solviria. And her heart is unable to forget the empress she left behind. Moratham is seeking an alliance with the merfolk against Solvira, so with the help of a sea witch and the prince, Tallora embarks on a quest to bring peace to her home. Empress Dauriel Solivieris is still very much in love with Tallora, but the news she and her princely companion brings puts her in a difficult position. She is not merely a woman, free to love as she chooses, but the empress who must put her duty to her people before her own heart. Will they overcome all odds and find happiness together? We'll have to wait until Death's Abyss to find out!

Absolutely l ove these andDauriel and Talloras love story can't wait to read the next one to find out more

I read the first book a few months ago, so getting into this sequel with that mental break and finding out the story takes place 6 months later was perfect. I’m a sucker for powerful dark haired women, so seeing how devoted Dauriel is to Tallora was great.

This one is a book of heartbreak. I felt so bad for Tallora and Daruiel. The ending of this book was unexpected, but a good twist, even if it left me heartbroken. Also, I wasn’t expecting Hermaeus Mora to appear at the end there. Anyone get the skyrim reference? Lol

S.D. Simper has done it again. Heart of Silver Flames is every bit as good as The Fate of Stars! I read it in one sitting, could not put it down. There is love and war and peace and trouble stirring. The balance is so beautifully written and she keeps you on your toes. I would recommend all her books to anyone because they are so detailed, so well planned and thought out. It's clear that she loves the world her books are set in and I must say I love FALLEN GODS too. You can't help but admire the creativity and detail in every scene. Book #3 Death's Abyss can't come out fast enough.

I was a little worried midway through this book because they just seemed to be staring into each other's eyes and having lots of hot sex. But all of it ended up being a necessary part of the plot. And makes the major plot progressions at the end hit so much harder. So far this series is just as much a masterpiece as Fallen Gods. I'm so glad the best epic fantasy author is a lesbian!

I read the first book and was disappointed with the ending, I desperately wanted a HEA. Now I see in the second book this isn't a series of linked stories, it's genuinely a tale spread over three books.The characters and the environment are so vivid in the authors descriptions that I feel the Mermaids love and heartbreak.I find the unfamiliar daiety names and their connections a little confusing and it becomes more and more critical throughout so I almost feel like a mythical family tree would help me in the inside cover of book 3.I love the storytelling, I'm utterly gripped by the cliffhanger and I can't decide how I feel about the Empress who (slight spoiler) I feel I should hate but am really struggling to do so with. I think that's a true measure of author skill.The only challenge now is holding off until I have time to begin book 3...
