Fantastic continuation of this series! So much happens with great twists and lots of magic! Thankfully this book doesn't bottom out like many lengthy series do! If anything it ramps up!

BravoI might be wrong, but Wheeler seems to have created the ultimate Mary Sue and frankly it detracts from what could have been an outstanding book. Despite that, I like that Trynne is a strong female who isn’t ruled by emotions and of course the plot continues to escalate at an unrelenting pace.

Since Jeff Wheeler kindly gave me an early copy I'm trying to be extra good about not giving out spoilers in this review.Through the entire series I have liked how each book resolves a number of problems even though new problems crop up. I never have felt like I'm just being strung along. The Silent Shield has this same format. As you remember we were left on tenterhooks from The Hollow Crown that Owen has been kidnapped and King Drew has been given a year respite from the war because of this un...

4.5/5.0And, the plot thickens! Trynne is in love but can't act upon her feelings. The world is thrown into chaos and no one knows she is secretly fighting alongside the men! And then.... it gets even crazier...YUM!!! (okay, so the villain is glaringly obvious to all but the characters, themselves - but still....)Fantasy writing at it very best, for sure! Rich and exquisitely well done - NOT a simplistic YA escape but a fully nuanced fantasy with a teenage protagonist that keeps even the most dis...

Super keen for the final installment in this amazing series! 🤩

https://koeur.wordpress.com/2017/08/1...Publisher: 47 NorthPublishing Date: August 2017ISBN:9781611097535Genre: FantasyRating: 2.8/5Publishers Description: Courtly intrigue and rumors of invasion plunge Kingfountain into turmoil as the search for Trynne’s father begins in earnest. But Trynne’s quest to learn the truth of Owen’s sinister disappearance is sidetracked when tragedy strikes her family once again. Suddenly, the future of the kingdom rests in her hands as she struggles to learn—and con...

I was fumbling around on the rating for this story. On the plus sides for this story it was probably my favorite of the series. The action was good especially at the end and Trynne definitely seems like a stronger character. Some of the mentions of family were also good when referencing Genny and Kate. Third, the inclusion of Leerings, Tay-al Ards, and the tree of Immortality was neat to see finally all of your worlds combined in a way. I look forward to seeing more of Owen's recovery and return...

I'm really enjoying the series thus far. The prior books did take quite a bit from history but since I love history, it was more entertaining to match up the historical events in the fictionalized world. There's also a fair bit to be said about some of the underlying themes. Reading the story for the story's sake (and assuming it's supposed to be taking place in something like 1400s or 1500s Britain) the female characters are surprisingly independent. *Possible spoiler here* However, having youn...

**Possible spoilers for The Hollow Crown**I'm so excited to have finally gotten my hands on this!! It did not disappoint. The Silent Shield sees the continuing adventures of Trneowy Kiskaddon in her quest to become an Oath Maiden, earn the seat of the Siege Perilous, and protect her King. I absolutely love this series. I cannot recommend it enough to fellow fantasy fans. Books 3-6 in particular, are reimaginings of Arthurian myth. (King Drew is Arthur, Queen Genevieve is Guinevere, Trynne is Lan...

I continue to be amazed at the work of Jeff Wheeler. Another great fantasy story told without succumbing to the grimdark constants of sex, oceans of blood, and gratuitous profanities and vulgarities. Keep up the good work! I can't wait to see where these characters go from here!

Disclaimer: I received an advanced copy for my unbiased review."The Silent Shield" by Mr. Wheeler is the fifth book in his Kingfountain series but it might be the most engaging of them all. We find Trynne as a young adult now grappling with the constant tragedies befalling her family and kingdom. All the while, she has to keep a secret about who she really is and what she is trying to accomplish. In many ways, beyond the Arthurian legend connections, this almost feels like a superhero origin sto...

Really enjoyed this one.A few twists and turns.

I literally adore this series!

4.5/5 StarsThis review may contain spoilers for The Hollow Crown and the first series.I have to say I loved this book even more than The Hollow Crown! The story continues with Trynne and the whole court searching for Owen who went missing during the battle with Gahalatine and his forces. Ceredigion prepares itself for the inevitable war that is going to happen in one year and Trynne continues to train the Oath Maidens. What I liked very much was the change in setting when Trynne travels to the F...

Couldn’t put it down!I loved this book & cant wait for the next one this year! I love how the authors other books were incorporated into this amazing story! I also love that this author actually releases his books sooner rather than later because I can’t wait until the next book!

This is my favorite of the Kingfountain series so far. I'm really glad that I've read all the Muirwood books, because it makes this so enjoyable when I catch all the tie-ins. Trynne Kiskadon is amazing. Mr. Wheeler really did a fantastic job describing the fight scenes, and it's fun to pick up on the myths and history woven throughout. Now I just have to wait until November... dang it!

The Silent Shield is the 5th book in the Kingfountain series and the penultimate book of those announced. If you have not read this series, I implore you to give it a try and to become emotionally invested in the characters; their triumphs and their defeats. Like with the previous book, The Silent Shield focuses mainly on Tryneowny Kiskaddon and her life and training. She is an Oath Maiden and was finally given permission to train others as well. Although the previous book had tragic events, the...
