Silver

Shunned Mages #2

by Regitse Liljadorff

Silver
Being literally dumped on Sutiner and then fighting to survive for two years proved just how stubborn I am. And when we finally meet Wilston I know he’s mine. I will be patient with him, but that man will be mine.

Wilston
I always say the wrong thing. Or at least, that’s what my mother always said. So why is Silver so determined to hear me speak? And how is it possible I’ve yet to offend him and the others?
With mages fighting against us and the knowledge I have a soulmatch out there, I start to hope that Silver could be mine.
One thing is for certain, though. A beautiful man like him deserves the world. I just hope I can give him that.



More adventure and road trips. Silver is tired of being denied his beauty sleep. New familiars join the family. Julie is there. More fights with mages. Found family and soulmatches.
This is the second book in the trilogy, featuring two men destined for one another and their lovable companions. Series must be read in order.

I love this series! It is so quick and easy and just so cute. I love how these shunned Mages find their soul matches and almost instantly fall in love. I love the found family aspect as well and the adorable familiars they all get. Silver and Wilston are very sweet together. I adore Julie and I’m glad she’s going with them to the new world. I can’t wait to see how this all turns out.

This book continues where we left of after Xarius (book 1 in the series). I was so exited to learn more about Silver, because I really loved what we saw of his personality in Xarius. I was not disappointed
:D Silver is amazing and spicy. His mate Winston is more subdued and feels more shy but I'm sure he will bloom as the series evolve.

Let's not forget the amazing familiars!!! I love them all :D

As usual I love how Regitse writes her fantasy books. They are all so easy to read, not complicated or with a huge world we need to remember all the details about. This just flows, with a lot of heart :D

Thank you for the arc. This review is honest and voluntary.

**ARC REVIEW**

I first was to send a huge thank you to the author for sending me this ARC! It was immediately moved to the top of my list and I read this in ONE sitting!

After a little background for Wilston, this book starts where we left off in book 1. Xarius, Niam, and Silver are on their journey to find Wilston. Once they find him, they convince him to come along and we find out that he and Silver are indeed soulmatches. Once bonded, they discover their own powers and familiars. While battling even more mages from their home world, they also discover that Xarius's friend Julie is in trouble. They all decide to being her along and tell her the full truth. In the middle of one of the battles, a letter is discovered from Xarius's mother explaining who the next 2 mages are and how to find them. Luckily, they are able to pick up one of the next 2 mages before they have to enter a new world to find their 6th.

This story is absolutely wonderful. It's sweet and spicy with an amazing plot! I instantly fell in love with Wilston and Silver. They are exactly what each other needs. Silver is the outspoken one who helps bring Wilston out of the shell his past put him in. I know that together, with their powers and friends, they can accomplish anything ahead. I can't wait to see what happens next!!

The story about the shunned mages finding their mate and magic continues in this second book.

I so looked forward to getting to know Silver, I knew I’d fall in love with his personality 💛
Winston, his mate, seems more vulnerable and sceptical. But together they learn more about themselves and their magic. And the chemistry is 🔥 I’m a fan of the claiming parts 🫦

Again I love how the author writes fantasy stories. She doesn’t make stuff to complicated or with to much details to remember. It’s always an easy breeze read, with some feels and swoon.

I’m looking forward to the last story as well, and how the story will be tied together and wrapped up 💛

💜 Review 💜

Talk about a continuation with this trilogy. 3 different couples but one story that involves all. The found family in this has me 🫠 to a puddle that’s for sure.

First hook took us on a 🎢 and second book is continuing to keep us on that 🎢 even if we want to get off 😉🤭.

Now we continue with Silver and Wilston. We have Silver the outgoing and will live his life to the fullest thanks to his wise grandma who raised him. Then we have Wilston who is very shy and full of insecurity because of his POS mom. He doesn’t like speaking loud afraid to say the wrong thing.

They started off a pinch slow with Wilston holding back and Silver being patient, but when they came together let’s just say there was 🎆. You would think in all this Silver would be the one shining and not wanting to be left behind but in my eyes it’s Wilston who shines in his own way. He doesn’t want to be left behind but he also doesn’t think he is worthy.

This stories continued with them being attacked and forced to fight back. The level of hurt these men have gone through just makes you want to hug them and never let go.

The story continues on to book three (final) but unfortunately that has to wait till 10.15.25. This is a trilogy you DON’T want to miss.

Shamus and King are just a wonderful bonus addition to this family.

Please ✔️ TRIGGER WARNINGS before jumping in. If you have none then just jump in 😉.

Ah Silver and Wilston! I wanted more of them! Another adorable sweet, spicy read. I loved both of these characters. I usually will gravitate towards one character or another, but I think I loved both of them equally, lol. I really enjoy how Regitse has made each of the men in these books so far distinctly different looks and personality wise, yet they absolutely belong together and fit like two puzzle pieces. Silver and Wilston are no different, with Silver's distinct look and outgoing personality and Wilston's more traditional appearance and reserved personality. Well reserved until he gets him man anyway, 😉

The plot got my ire up just as book 1 did with the injustice of banishing magicless people. Not to mention the fodder the council keeps sending their way. Your people keep dying yet you keep sending them. Oh, how I'd love to be a fly on the wall in Sutiner right now. The resistance is building, and I love it. Revolution! I can't wait until the group is complete and they go back. I hope Silver gets to see his grandma, Wilston his grandpa and Xaris his parents but the rest can kick rocks.

The spice in this one is hilarious with the lack of privacy these guys have, traveling in vans and RVs. Poor Wilston and Silver trying to get to know each other and all they hear at night is Xari and Niam, lmao! Their relationship development was a delight to read. The excitement as they gained their magic, learned what they could wield and meeting their familiars! Their familiars were such an extension of them too. One outgoing and playful (Silver), the other quiet, watchful and stoic (Wilston). The way they all learned how to work together to protect themselves was awesome. I absolutely love how feral and violent these guys have to be to survive, yet it's written with love and rainbows, 😊

I cannot wait for Altair's and Tino's book given the apparent history these two have! To the portal!

ARC BOOK REVIEW

Silver: Shunned Mages Book Two by Regitse Liljadorff

Stars: ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
Spice: 🌶🌶
Recommend: 🤌🏽🤌🏽🤌🏽🤌🏽🤌🏽


Perfect MM Fantasy 🥹


This was such a sweet and spicy fantasy book. I love everything about it. Wilston and Silver were such a cute couple. They made me smile so much.

They chemistry between them was genuine and pure and it made my heart sing happily. It was sad what they both had to go through but I am so happy they were able to find one another. They deserved that happiness.

Their familiars were perfect. I want my own now. The spice was just perfect for this MM romance. I can’t wait for the next one in the series. How exciting!!!

The artwork is so beautiful and I can't wait for you to read this series.

Definitely recommend.

I think I liked this even better than book one! I knew Silver would be a fun character when we met him in the last book, and I was right. He and Wilston were a perfect match. It was exciting to see all the new adventures and magic skills, as well as other characters I won’t spoil. Lots of fun! Low angst, medium heat, HFN.

This is my honest review of an advanced reader copy.

[Happei · Rating 3 out of 5]

A light easy read. No angst.

The second book in the Shunned Mages series! I can't wait for Altair & Tino's story!

[Jennifer Carter · Rating 5 out of 5]

Silver and Wilson were adorable. There were so many cute moments throughout the story. And Altair has this adorable innocence about him. Almost like niam.

[MyDoRyS · Rating 3 out of 5]

My reviews are my own. If you liked this book, I’m glad you enjoyed it. If not, I respect your opinion. This is merely my opinion, so let's keep it courteous.

Equally fun as the first one, my only negative is that it had SO many characters, it felt a bit rushed, and did not allow me to develop the same rapport I had with the first couple with the second one. Also, not sure why the July character needed to reappear. Can't wait for the final book!

On to my next adventure, Happy Readings!!!
