Book Review:
Cold Silver for Souls is a fantasy western told from the perspective of Hunter, a bounty hunter who also happens to be a necromancer. We follow Hunter as she treks across The Territories wrangling up marks that she has been hired to bring in dead or alive. She is accompanied by a reanimated corpse she calls “Rip.”
This has all of the fun western vibes that you would want included in a western novel with also a twist of magic. Along with being a gun and knife toting baddie, there is also more to our protagonist than meets the eye. Throughout the story more is revealed about Hunter through her inner monologue as well as life lessons she remembers from her father and childhood Reverend.
Cold Silver for Souls features gun fights and long journeys across the plain but also dives deeply into themes of living with past trauma, and the importance of friendship. Found family is an important trope in this book and the need to trust others.
This book features some of Tecken’s best and most impactful writing in my opinion. There is much that will stick with you long after you have closed the book. I highly recommend that readers of high fantasy and fantasy westerns give this a try. https://a.co/d/aIs4FY9
