This book felt so different from her usual Psy-Changeling series and in the most positive way.
The story starts off with Valentin facing off Silver and trying to court her, and reading about his shenanigans was hilarious.
I liked the distinction that Nalini Singh managed to set, where leopards and wolves may be similar in their behaviour but the bears were very different. It gave a refreshing feeling to read about a new changeling group with their unique quirks. Their unserious nature was what made it feel so silly and fun to read about. Valentin as a character was my favourite, because he's the epitome me of "i'm not going to do that.....fuck it i just did it". Unlike the leopards and wolves too, I'd say he's the first changeling mate I read about that didn't want Silver to leave Silence and never really pushed her to as soon as he found out it could hurt her.
Silver was so interesting to read about as well, her bonding with Valentin was unexpected but upon closer look, made perfect sense. for someone as uptight as Silver it only made sense she had a more relaxed counterpart. Also the way she threatens anyone that could hurt Valentin???Literally ready to kill Sergey and threatening his MOTHER because no one got to kick her gentle bear's heart It's so cool to see a Psy mate be the one that went out of her way to protect her mate who was 'gentler'.
Whatever Nalini Singh was trying to do with Psy-Changeling Trinity, I hope she's achieved it with Silver Silence because this was so so so good.
