Guide Review - Valley of Silence by Nora Roberts - Book Review
Valley of Silence is the strongest book in the Circle Trilogy, perhaps because it has more development (from the first two books) to back up the plot. I also enjoyed the romance in this novel more than in the previous two. Again, I think that has to do with Roberts taking advantage of character development from the first two books. Where Hoyt and Glenna's romance in Morrigan's Cross felt a little rushed and simplistic to me, Cian's and Moira's in Valley of Silence is built up better and contains more complexity.
Valley of Silence does not work on its own, so if you have not read the first two books in the trilogy, you need to check them out first. If you have, I'm sure you don't need my recommendation to know that Valley of Silence is one you will not want to miss.
