<\/h5>\nHere\u2019s the thing about real people. They\u2019re complicated. Okay, fine. We\u2019re<\/em> complicated. We can stand up to a pack of wolves with nothing but a knife at dusk and then shiver in a warm bed until dawn, terrified by a nightmare we don\u2019t even remember. It doesn\u2019t make any sense. Real people don\u2019t always make sense. Emily Sowden gets that. She gets how real life works.<\/p>\n Take Ava. She might not be great at fighting, but she\u2019s a survivor. She knows how to depend on herself. When her mother dies and her father starts disappearing, she holds the family farm together. So what if women aren\u2019t allowed to conduct business in her misogynist, backwater town? She\u2019ll dress herself as a young man and get the job done. That\u2019s practical strength. That\u2019s real<\/em> strength.<\/p>\n <\/p>\n When her life takes a turn and she finds herself far from home, surrounded by demons and berserkers and dangers she never even imagined, she doesn\u2019t pick up a random weapon, master it in two weeks, and start slaying monsters left and right. Why not? Because no real person could do that<\/em>. What a real person can<\/em> master quickly is learning how to take advantage of what they already have. That\u2019s what Ava does, and she does it in spades.<\/p>\n But the world of Trapped in Silver<\/em> is just as impressive as its characters. From struggling towns to magical wilderness, Sowden has created a reality with breadth, depth, and a history so rich it practically jumps off the page. With a wonderful cast of supporting characters to provide both protection and new challenges at every turn, Ava\u2019s sassy and headstrong journey to discover her true place within this realm is well worth the read.<\/p>\n
