The Isle in the Silver Sea is my second Tasha Suri novel. I read The Jasmine Throne in 2024 and found myself impressed with the world building. Whilst its sequel still sits on my ever-growing TBR pile, I knew I couldn’t pass up the chance to read this new release when I saw it advertised—partially because lady knights!Read More
Love Across Lifetimes: The Isle in the Silver Sea by Tasha Suri Review
On the Lesbrary’s list of favorite 2025 releases, I named The Isle in the Silver Sea by Tasha Suri as both my most anticipated 2025 release and my favorite sapphic read of the year.
