The Silent Son by Alexis L. Menard

adventurous challenging dark mysterious tense medium-paced

5.0

I was so excited to get back into this dark mythology retelling by Alexis Menard! This Norse Romantasy picks back up with a horrible battle scene and Erik facing off with the Volva Witch. He continues his quest to rescue Ailsa from the Demon who captured her. Unfortunate for him, Ailsa and Vali (her supposed captor) seem to be doing just fine as they tangle up in each other's arms and wars. I really love Ailsa and her character gets more interesting and badass as the tale progresses. There is so much chemistry between the Heathen and her Dark Fae. Their fire and passion is perfection! Can you tell how much I love them? 😂 The last third of the book is full of nonstop, action packed, twisting and turning, revelations that end with a bang. I loved this 5 star fantasy and I hope you will grab the duology and join the fun.
