3 STARS
The title of Silent Orchids was aptly named. You'll understand halfway through the book.
My problem was that it was a little bit dragging and the most interesting parts of the story was near the ending. I like reading about details but most of the details here were too descriptive.
What I do like about this book is the friendship between the characters including Daegan.
There were some cliche moments but it wasn't bad. And the relationship between Kaeleigh and Daegan is still a mystery and there isn't any romance going on yet which is a nice change. Although they both are feeling something to one another.
I can't say anything more without spoiling it but so far there is only about one or two mysteries that were revealed.
Of course, the ending is major cliffhanger. Despite my 3 stars, I'm looking forward to reading the next book.

Fractured Darkness (The Age of Alandria #3)
by Morgan Wylie
Release Date: 01/29/15
325 pages
Summary from Goodreads:
The darkness in Elnye is growing.
There is screaming in Exhile.
The mysterious woman, known only as “She”, is in a rage. Her pawn, Maleina has made a dangerous move and severed her communications with the dark mistress. Now as dueling dark forces, master and willing initiate, they begin to jockey for power as the stage is set for the coming war.
Kaeleigh and her small band of loyal companions have escaped the dungeons of Elnye and found their way to the secret home of the Ehsmia. After breaking the vicious bond that enslaved Daegan to Maleina’s will, the walls between Kaeleigh and her Ferrishyn warrior begin to fall, as their feelings for each other begin to give way to passion.
The darkness is fractured, but its relentless quest for power goes unabated. A war is coming. However, the power of the Sol-lumieth has finally come together and found its light. A blinding light of freedom, that may be the salvation for all of Alandria.
Morgan Wylie, originally from the Pacific Northwest, now resides near Nashville, TN with her husband and daughter. She and her husband work everyday at their individual and combined creative pursuits while she learns to balance being “Mama”, wife, and mediator to the many voices and muses constantly chattering in her head.
