Vision in Silver and Marked in Flesh

Vision in Silver (The Others #3) by Anne Bishop     400 pages
Marked in Flesh (The Others #4) by Anne Bishop  399 pages  (total of 799 between both books)

Books #3 and #4 in this series continue the ongoing story of the struggle between the two groups who inhabit this version of our world: the terra indigene, who are shifters, and the Others (a/k/a humans).  The two books take the story through the anticipated war between these two groups, and it really ramps up when you get to the fourth book.

  I have been enjoying these books, especially how the story picks up in each book where the previous book left off, and how the character development continues, as well. By the time you get into the fourth book, you feel like you really know some of the characters and truly care about what's going to happen to them.  I like that Bishop makes the humans the awful Others in this world --- I can definitely see where she's coming from, since humans in our own world have been responsible for so much destruction.

I see there are more books in this series, which I plan to read since I've been enjoying these books so far.
