Great

Silvertounge is very good and in my opinion it is the best book in the Stoneheart Trilogy. If you love the first two then you will love this one.

My Current Favorite

(This review is from my 9 year old son):

Silvertongue is the 3rd book in the Stoneheart Trilogy, and it is my favorite. While this was the third book, Charlie Fletcher kept my interest by introducing lots of new characters and new plots. I love these books because he writes in a way that makes me not want to put the book down. I am a fourth grader and I like fantasy and medieval books.

Awesome Gift

I recieved this for my Birthday and I loved it at once. I would reccomend it for kids 9-14. The only problem in it is that the suspense that the author puts into it can get annoying. For example, At the end of the chapter this boy is about to die and when he next chapter starts the author starts to talk about the other character. In the next chapter after that, the author continues to talk about the kid who was dying but you sort of forget why he was dying in the first place.

Nothing short of brilliant

Silvertongue is the third and final book in the Stoneheart series. (Note to Mr. Fletcher: Thank you, thank you for not going 7 books deep....) I have loved this series from the beginning. (See my reviews on Stoneheart and Ironhand.) Fletcher's prose is brilliant; it's crisp, fluid, engaging, at times comic, at other times poignant. The books are worth gifting to kids just for that reason. But there is so much more in these books....

We all love a story in which an underdog kid finds a way to triumph--to become strong as he struggles with adversity. These books have two such kids--a boy and a girl. I've read a lot of fiction in my day... Edie stands as one of my all-time favorite heroines. Yeah, she kicks... well, she's really strong. Love that.

There are other characters to love as well--the Gunner, Spout, Dictionary--as Fletcher has created a delightful cast of well-rounded beings who are loveably imperfect and wonderfully unique.

And there's more: Fletcher adds (very carefully--so kids aren't slugged over the head with it) enough history and mythology to raise these books to an intellectual level that even stuffy grown-ups will enjoy.

I cannot say enough about how much good stuff is in here for kids (without giving away some of my favorite stuff--and I hate spoilers). I strongly recommend this series for kids of all ages. As the final act, Silvertongue is a thrilling ride and absolute page turner.
