I have to first admit that I really do prefer the US covers to the UK. The whole concept of fusing glass with magic is quite interesting. I can also understand why it ends up in the young adult category, though I don't really see that it is. It would help to read the Study series first to know som...

This may be a dangerous comment to make, but it seems like Maria V. Snyder is incapable of writing a book that I don't absolutely love! It's almost scary, but every book I've read from her--all three of the Study series and now this first of the Glass series--has received a 5-star rating from me. On...

Same world as Snyder's Poison Study, but with a much more engaging start. Some neat applications and interpretations of magic.

So this was a lot of fun. I really like Opal, and Kade, and even Pazia. I love Ixia and Sitia and I just want Snyder to keep writing more books set there.Opal is a great protagonist. Very different from Yelena. Unsure of herself, doubting her own abilities, and afraid to let anyone get close because...

I really enjoyed this book. The Study series was so fun to read and I can tell that this spin off series is going to be just as good or even better. I love the world that Maria V Snyder has created. There are some really great new characters in this book and it was exciting when a character from the...
Title and Statement of Responsibility
Storm Glass is the first book in Maria V. Snyder's new trilogy, loosely connected to the earlier Study series (Poison Study, Magic Study, and Fire Study), but with a new, young protagonist, Opal Cowan. [Snotty aside: The back cover of the copy I got from Agawam has her last name spelled "Cowen"--who...

Opal is a young glassblower who can infuse small glass statues with a spark of magic, allowing other magic users all over her homeland of Sitia to communicate with each other over long distances. As long as someone with magical abilities holds a glass animal she made, they can talk to another magic ...

I really liked this book, it felt like revisiting old friends as it's set in the same world as the Study series. Opal is a very likable main characters and I just LOVE the whole idea of Stormdancers, can you imagine someone standing on the beach in the midst of an enormous angry storm, harvesting it...
