Protagonist, Jemilla, is the daughter of the city's Singer - a man who can protect the city through the power of song. Life on the island is calm and peaceful; there is no crime, there is no danger, there is no fighting; so, no one was prepared for an invasion of blood-drinking Thistly. When her father is killed along with the majority of the population, there is no one left to save the island. Only men could become Singers, or so they claimed, but Jemilla is hiding a secret - she can Sing too.
At the beginning of the novel, Jemilla comes across as an anxious teenager, having been plagued by an overactive imagination for most of her life. Yet, as the story goes on, her frightening thoughts appear to be not as imaginary as she originally believed. A silver woman that no one but Jamilla can see taunts her daily and seems to want Jemilla to fail in her quest to save the island from the Thistly. Mid-story, however, alliances appear to change and Jemilla must figure out which team the silver woman is playing for and discover the truth about her home island.
From the very first chapter, Jordan Elizabeth captures the reader's attention with fast-paced action that never stills until the Epilogue. Taking aspects of history, such as rules for women written by men, the author subliminally advocates for women's rights. Secret Silver Songs demonstrates that enemies can be beaten but also that your true enemy may not be who you expect. Above all, never underestimate the power of song.

My husband is not exactly thrilled, but looking myself in the Commonwelth has helped me deal with a lot of stress and anxiety. Thanks COVID!
There are sk many ways to play, things to do and tiny details.
There is also the ability to build your own settlement, which is both brilliant, and infuriating in equal measure. It's so cool to display your finds in a player home you built yourself. Though if I find one more random settler in my bed I will shoot him!
Unlike Fallout 3, the enemies seem to get stronger as you do, so getting yourself overpowerd is not an easy thing to do (well, it was not for me anyway), and you will get your a*s handed to you a few times.
There is just so much, you can build your own Mr Handy's (with the expantion), your companions can interact with one another, the law runs deep and there are more Easter eggs than you can shake a bunny at!
Love it, despite the near constant crashes that can occur, the quicksand function helps deal with this, once you get into the habit of doing it regularly.
Quest lines range from funny, sad, disturbing tk just plain nuts! A little something for everyone.
All in all, it has its flaws, but is a great follow up the 3, a must for any fallout fan.
