Kindle Mark Chadbourn ´ ´ The Silver Skull Kindle æ The SilverPDF EPUB ² silver epub, skull kindle, The Silver free, The Silver Skull PDFEPUBThere are a lot of things about this book that appeal to me I'm fond of historical fiction with a fantasy twist I like English history Secret societies in this case a special spy ring for ueen Elizabeth are great Swashbuckling action can't get enough And yet it kinda fell flat for me and the reason I fear resides in the main character Will Will is they spy's spy He has a public face which is intended to give the people of England a hero to pin their hopes on in face of the impending Spanish invasion Of course his true purpose is to thwart the plans of a much sinister foe one with powers beyond human kenStill sounds great but Will is kinda blah His speaking which I believe is intended to sound witty and educated comes across as something read from as script Others around him manage to joke or make sarcastic cuts without sounding so artificial Like his friend and servant Nat Nat is great I enjoyed his
