UPDATE
4 years later and I stand with my first opinion. Zarya isn't only a bad heroine, she is human waste. She should never have been written. She is NOT worth of existing.
This book has spoiled all this author's works for me.
I just stopped reading ANYTHING by her. I can't even read the other series. That's how much Ms. Kenyon has screwed up. (And I loved Archeron, goodbye forever my love. You're tainted to me...)
How can an author devolve so much, I have no idea. She is my auto don't-buy. I don't even read the plot summaries. It's instant ignore button here.
Also, to the people still thinking this is a good book, giving it 5 star reviews and saying this couple is cute, that you understand the heroine and such: what is wrong with you?!! Please, go seek counseling! I'm serious. This is some fucked up shit. You need professional help.

Spoilers / Old review / Me trying to be diplomatic (I don't know why I tried...)
I'd like to let it be clear that I love Sherrilyn Kenyon and her books in general. This is just my rage against Born of Silence and the destruction of my most cherished ginger character since my late hubby, Fred Weasley, may he live forever in my heart.
***** WARNING! DARLING CRUEL'S FAN GIRL HATE RANT *****
I was waiting for this book like crazy. I mean, Darling Cruel, c'mon, the name is freaking brilliant, not even to say he is a GINGER, known as a dandy, is a prince annnd has long hair! Sort of.
For starters, I think that for everyone who has read the other books in the series it has become an understatement that Darling's (*fan girl squeal* I love his name! XD) life ain't been easy. But, wait for it...
Enter Zarya, Zaira, Zayra, or whatever name that b**** has (I can't seem to remember, even though I just closed the book a second ago) and acts like the "freaking bullet that killed Kennedy"! Arrrrrrrrgh!!! So you will not forgive him for killing your sister? I'd freaking have her tortured just like they did to Darling just to get to you, you awful, awful, AWFUL character!!!!
What was done to Darling is unforgivable! The way the "heroine" reacts at it is disgusting. The way she keeps thinking she is so righteous is, is, is.. aaaaargh. And the way she simply turns out to be THE ONE who can save him after everything she's done is the greatest insult of ALL. After everything she did or didn't do, I wanted to have her commit suicide and be done with this book.
Really? Really? Really, Zarya, Zaira or Zayra? He told you to shut up, so boo hoo, poor you who is a woman and told to shut by a man you let be sodomized so brutally for FIVE months, he had to have his bowels reconstructed! Yeah, let him be raped by really sharp objects, that's his bad, but don't dare he tell you to shut your mouth!
Seriously, I know part of why I read romance is because I need to assure myself there are awesome heterosexual men out there that can treat you like a lady without them having to be gay. It's fiction, I know, but still I hope. I digress... I WISH Darling was gay. The only person who deserved his love was Maris. I swear, now I want him to be as gay as they come. I'll just erase I EVER read this book in my mind and forget it ever existed. Forget that an awful character like Zarya, Zaira, Zayra or whatever was created by Sherrilyn.
I never hated a character as much I as hate this one now. I just want my Darling whole again. Now I'm just depressed and crying for what could have been... I gave up this book around chapter 12, I think. Threw it away to recycle, so I can protect other people from this mental trauma.

OMG...SK ripped my heart with this one. I am not sure how Darling was so amazing and a wonderful human after all he had been through. Made me cry, laugh and want to murder fictional characters.
Brutal yet a beautiful read.

I think The League series is my favorite series by Sherrilyn Kenyon! I love the intergalactic problems, the League, the Sentinella, the characters, the strong women... And Born of Silence kept me awake at night thinking about it, it touched me on a very deep level, and it was beautifully written!

The League series is always filled with surprises, amazing fights and a real love story. Born of Silence follows the other books in the series, and the characters from all the other books are present in this volume, to my great delight.

Darling and Zarya were amazing. To have been through what they both have been through and love so hugely, it's amazing. You are so wrapped up in these characters that you feel for the them fully. Sherri does an amazing job expressing everything they feel. Darling and Zarya fully deserve every happiness they've found with each other. Now, I'm going to have re-read the whole series again.
