The Silent Son by Alexis L. Menard

5.0

ARC received in exchange for an honest review.

Man what an absolute epic end to this story. We picked up right where we left off in book one (highly recommend refreshing yourself where it ended). I did not do this and it took me a minute to remember what happened at the end of book one.

The Silent Son is told through multiple POVs and I loved the weaving of storylines. Alexis did a wonderful job of building up this world and I am so sad for it to be ending. Ailsa is such a badass character and I loved how she never backed down from the challenges she faced. Vali felt like such a well rounded character in this book. His love for Ailsa while on a quest for vengeance? Chefs kiss.

Highly recommend this duology if you are a fan of Norse mythology. It was unique and well written, with this book by far being her best work. I can’t wait to read whatever comes next!
