Anyone else find it extremely annoying when old vampires decide to be ridiculously extra when they largely just want to talk instead of, I dunno, using the usual means of human communication that don’t involve kidnapping? Like really, you used to be human. Why can’t you just walk up to someone and start talking to them or call them, like everyone else does? Hell, the fae have more manners that you. What the hell?
That said… Silence Fallen was a trip. And I don’t just mean because Mercy and Adam went to Europe. Coming more solidly from the Anita Blake fandom, I am much more used to weird metaphysical things happening to end vampire conflicts, so having this one largely ended with a physical fight was interesting. Having essentially a full, multi-species delegation from the Tri-Cities go over to Europe was fun. I’m much more attached to Marsilia now.
I’m really not sure I have much more to say about Silence Fallen. I mean, Mercy’s figuring out more about her powers, as one does. We got vampire shenanigans. More Coyote interference… apparently. I dunno, it was solid, just not a lot to talk about that’s not either spoilers or vampire shenanigans… which also… spoilers.
Oh! And Honey is amazeballs. Like, I’ve been growing to like her more and more as the series goes on, but Silence Fallen definitely cemented her as one of my favorite characters.
So… yeah, that’s it.

The first part of the new Pokemon Scarlet/Violet DLC has been released. I'm going to be spending my off-hours playing that for a bit. Definitely planning to do a couple of "Scarlet Adventures" post about that, so stay tuned.
