The Silent Lord by Otava Heikkilä
5.0
Oooft! What a volume!
Edmund goes through a very difficult transition, but through that we learn about the Silent Lord's history, about Ibauld's history, and how the Night Court was created. It's a fascinating, sad story. We learn more about the nurse Geza and his husband Sorin, which is very interesting.
Ibauld has such a tragic story - and the Silent Lord is so interesting - that I'm glad we had the slight deviation from the main plot to see both in good detail.
I only wish we understood this whole letter situation - every book starts at some point in the future, where Ed is writing letters to Lucardo, so they're obviously not together at this point, because Ed doesn't know where Lucardo is. Why are they apart? Is it temporary? Does that mean Ibauld is back in the forest (effectively dead) and Lucardo has taken over the Night Court? Or has being around the Night Court and the Silent Lord been so taxing on Ed that he's been forced to leave Lucardo? Or, has Ed somehow *not* completed his transition, so he's back to being human, and that's why he can no longer be part of the Night Court?
I. HAVE. SO. MANY. QUESTIONS! The most important being - when will we see a release date for Volume 4!
