Silver Majesty
Princess Rebecca never expected to agree to an arranged marriage – or to wearing the queen’s crown. But now, to secure a peaceful future for the Silver Fairy Tribe, she faces what may well prove to be an impossible situation. The annual gala serves as the backdrop for the selection process and as it goes slowly by, she becomes more firmly convinced that she is hopelessly in love with one of her suitors.
Evidence of a pirate build-up only complicates matters further, requiring cooperation from each of the four tribes against the most cunning blackguard of them all.
Emotions run high as motivations are examined, hearts are forever changed, and the future becomes the present for our gallant young fairies.

This is a delightfully classic-feeling book. The Silver Sagas continue with the heroine Rebecca working clandestinely to explore new “camps” of fairies, negotiating and analysing political moves, and family feelings, all the while preparing to marry. It isn’t a typical romance-only story, as it masterfully interweaves a myriad of political, industrial, social and familial relationships between the primary characters.
I am not a huge fan of fantasies. Yet, the character development and communication primarily between the family members drew me into the story enough that I forgot my dislike and wondered what I had been missing out on by skipping other books of a similar nature. It is clearly a story of love—but not necessarily a romance—rather, it is a story of the love of family. Rebecca, the heroine is down to earth and easily relatable. She is ambitions in a way that is similar to some of Jane Austen’s characters; her ambition, however is to protect family and the people in her kingdom as she routinely puts herself and her own love interests aside.
There is a …love square… as she has three suitors. One of these suitors will be chosen for her to marry, as he will be chosen to become the next king. I was disappointed that Rebecca wasn’t given enough depth to seek to become the leader of her people, and the tired historical place of patriarchy was disappointing. However, as the book has a classic 18th and 19th century feel, I found I could lay aside my 21st century disappointment in the traditional placement of women (after all, the characters are fairies!), and I became engrossed in the lives and complications of the characters.
The best thing about this book is that it teaches and exemplifies thinking. Good old thought analysis, and self-management are distinct gifts of the main character, Rebecca. Rebecca analyses much of her surroundings and openly yearns for simple tasks such as saddle repair, so she has time to process all that is going on around her. She does this often without words to her companions, showing that she is keenly in tune with her own thoughts, choices and the implications of those choices. She seems wise beyond years, and it is soothing as a reader to not feel forced into any one position. On the contrary, it was exciting to think about what might come next—making the moment between chapters filled with anticipation for what might come next.
The author’s writing style is smooth and decorate, It is easy to envision the pictures that her words paint, and she peppers the work with beautiful couplets such as “she was as sweet as a sun-ripened grape.”
I recommend this book as a vacation in itself. It is the kind of story where you feel impressed to put your feet up and forget your worries, lapping up in a fairy world that looks green and fresh no matter how many dishes or unfinished tasks you might have at hand.

Before I read this book I was wondering when Hugh would come back and would Rebecca and him be together. He did come back and he had competition for Rebecca's hand in marriage. This story had fairies and now pirates. That is a great combination. Another light and sweet story
