I found Silverglade while searching through the categorized listings and thought; eh, why not. When I got to reading it I was hooked! It is another story of the kids who are different being in a special school, but then again it is not "just another special school story". I don’t agree with the authors’ description about Harry Potter meets Heroes though, it is it’s own story. Honestly I think they just wanted some kind of frame of reference for folks who might not generally read this genre.
The characters and their POV’s are written by different authors, granted there are only say 5 different fellows writing and you can imagine how many different characters there are, so it creates some sense of individuality and still flows exceptionally well, you just have to be ready to read about a some events twice from different perspectives.
So far my favorite character is Cuthbert Ulysess Barton, otherwise known as Cub. He is one of the metahumans who has shown a marked difference in physical appearance, he is covered head to toe in greyish fur, has a long face and twitchy ears, (no he isn’t a werebunny, sorry) he also has a long tail and has some strange dietary ideals. Ok so he resembles a wolf, but when you get to know him you just wanna bring him home and give him a milkbone.
I would recommend this story to anyone that enjoys a rollicking tale of intrigue, growing up, learning respect, and fuzzy/feathery/fantastical folks.
