I remember trying to read Silverwing before when I was eleven or so. Thing was is that this was around the time I started getting into Animorphs and then I ended up reading the Sight, so I don't think I ever got the chance to get interested in it. I was around the part where the main character meets a fruit bat?
I recognize it more from the television series than from the source novels, though. If we're talking about the same book series, that is.
