A promise is a promise but this promise is one I should have never made.

Mila, a sweet pacifist born in the Motherlands, has avoided conflicts all her life. Now, living in the Northlands with the ruling family who adopted her, she’s under pressure to follow the traditions of the North and let fierce warriors fight for her hand in marriage.

But how can she marry if it means giving up on her friendship with Jonah, the first male councilman in the Motherlands and her closest friend? Every night they talk, laugh, and share their darkest secrets.

Will Mila find a voice strong enough to say no, and is she willing to jeopardize her family’s political power for Jonah, who most likely wants nothing but a platonic friendship with her? Or does he?

The Pacifist is the tenth and last book in Elin Peer’s wildly popular Men of the North series.

Don’t miss out on this epic ending to a great dystopian adventure that offers suspense, humor, and romance. Get it today!

5.0 out of 5 stars Amazing Series
Reviewed in the United States on April 26, 2019

First of all let me say that I can not believe this is the last book in the series. I fell in love with the series and the writing of Elin Peer after reading the first book in the series. So different and amazing, the descriptions of the places and people draw you in and their lives mean so much to you. You may not agree with each character and their flaws but youcan get in their heads and understand why they feel a certain way. Two very different groups, the men of the North and on the other side the Motlanders, which are ruled by women. We have seen the drive of some to bring the gap closer together and Jonah is the first man on the counsil of women. He has been in love with Mila for so long. As best friend their is that line you are afraid to cross. Mila was born a Motlander but has lived up norh with her adoptive parents. Still and always a pacifist she loves Jonah. So much is at stake for them to be together. This book was fantastic and sexy, and draws you in to a future that does not seem unreasonable. Although the series is at a close, I hope one day Elin Peer writes a follow up so the fans can catch up with their Men of the North families.

I'm sorry that the series is over but this is a wonderful ending. It was good to see Mila learn to stand up for herself. To go for what she wants. As sorry as I am that this series is over I can't wait to start ELIN's next series.This book was an emotional roller coaster!! I’m going to miss everyone but I can always go back and reread them. I especially loved the ending. 😜🤪
People could learn from this book
Sorry I changed my review. I started feeling bad about it. And I don’t want my review to be pulled. Yes, I know I'm changing up on this review again. I can't help it. 😉😈 I know that every one is entitled to their opinion... I've been flipping through reviews again. Promise this is the LAST time I swear, really.... 😇
Some of these so-called adults need to remember that as adults we have learned that bad things happen to good people, even while doing that good deed. Some of these "Adults" seem to have forgotten this. I read a few about how she just ruined the entire world that she had created. How could she do that to Magni. Why should I even read her again etc , etc. See I'm trying to stay in the middle lane here. 😉

Any writer can write a fairy tale ending. But it takes a very talented Author to be able to pull off an ending like this.

Ms Elin Peer, may I just say " Thank you for a wonderful ending to a very special series. " It took guts to do what you did and in my opinion it is a perfect ending. Sometimes bad things happen for a reason. You just have to look for the silver lining (sometimes it's hard to find but it's there. ")

Ok, ok I'm done. Sorry it's so long and took a couple weeks and several rewrites to finally get it right.

Thank you ma'am.

4.0 out of 5 stars Will Mila find her happiness with Jonah or an Nman
Reviewed in the United States on April 23, 2019

Mila and Jonah are very close friends, but Mila wants from Jonah who is not into the physical expression of desire or love as Mila is. After being in the North so long he didn't understand the way of the Nmen in that way. But she tries to get Jonah to understand her feelings and physical desire she has for him but she has to take drastic measures before he understands how he is treating her. The Motherland where he was raised where Mila was born and she was young girl changed her after attending the first integrated School for both sides and she was adopted by Magni and his wife, but now she is an adult who is ready for marriage she has agreed to a tournament where the men will fight for the opportunity to become her husband, Magni is adamant but Mila has to make him understand how she feels, Jonah will help her but her best girl friend Raven is the biggest help in boosting her confidence.
Many answers from the last book were answered during this story line. Characters were well around and interesting. I get it but almost to tame after all the other books. I was given an ARC from the author without obligation. I am providing an honest review. Purchased this book.

I loved the bet between Mila and Magni because she didn't want the tournament never considered the bet she requested of Magni to where a bead in his beard for a year and that if he did, she would participate in the tournament with her being the bride. Then she met Jonah. The change in tension between Magni and Jonah was incredible!! Anne burning down the shed. Mila finding out the actual cause of the death of Dina. The attempted kidnapping of Mila and Jonah. It was all sooo awesome to read!! On to the next!!

This was yet another fantastic book by Elin Peer. I have tried to purchase them all as her books have been consistently wonderful to read. The book blurb gives a good description of what the book is about so I'll just make some comments about things I especially like. One is the way Peer has dealt with gender equality issues in all the books of this series. She is not afraid with what I'll call philosophical questions like that, also questions about morality, human rights, democracy, and pacifism (of course). I was also impressed with how Peer wrote about someone who was a real model of eventually being able to deal with the initially catastrophic loss of legs. Dealing with robotic legs is an example of a real issue today as more and more people need mechanical replacements for various body parts. I finished reading the book with hope for humanity in several different areas, which is so nice in this world so full of despairing messages. I highly recommend this book and all the others in the series!

WOW! A grande finale to a series that made me laugh, cry, and impatiently tell my friends about absolutely amazing characters and the realistic situations engulfing them, as if they were real people. Mila is unique; a pacifist amongst strong men reputed to be monsters, including her father, Magni, the biggest and baddest of the land. Challenging tradition and her father for love is not the only thing she must face. The entire world is in chaos and being an empathic peacemaker means nothing is easy. Jonah fears for his own political aspirations in the wake of family dishonor and worth as a man while suffering feelings of inferiority. How will everyone get what they want? Need? Deserve? Or how can they survive otherwise?

5.0 out of 5 stars A wonderful conclusion to the series
Reviewed in the United Kingdom on April 23, 2019

The Pacifist is the 10th and final book in the Men of the North series. Whilst many of the books can be read as a stand alone, and indeed the romance part of this could be, it also ties together an ongoing back story. For that reason I would recommend reading at least the previous two books in the series. (The Athlete and The Fighter)

Whilst the underlying theme of the book, and series, has been finding common ground and compromise this book dealt with those themes outside of the relationship. In The Fighter we had a woman fighting to overcome prejudices in the Northlands, whereas The Pacifist deals with a Motlander man trying to change his country for the better.

If you've read any of the other books, particularly the earlier ones in the series, you will know that Mila has lived in the Northlands since she was a young girl. With her gentle nature and kind soul, she captured the hearts of all those who met her. She particularly captured the love of Magni, one of the roughest, toughest and meanest of the N'men. Mila is a delightful heroine, she really grew emotionally during the book and even became somewhat of a temptress!

Jonah was a delight, a man not afraid to question injustice and stand up for what he believed in. There were times when he was so dense I wanted to shake him, but at the same time I loved how it was the woman who was the sexual aggressor in this story (or at least initially).

There is so much more to this book than just the 'mere' romance. Though it also demonstrates that romance is so very important in life and is nothing to be ashamed of. In fact there are a lot of messages in this book that, if followed, would make the world a much better place in which to live!

We get to see many familiar faces, along with a few new ones, and it was wonderful to catch up on their lives. Whilst I'm sad to see the end of the series, and this wonderful bunch of characters, it was also great to see the start of a more positive future for them too.

I have read all 10 books in this series and found I just couldn’t put them down. As soon as I finished one I started the next one immediately. Loved the characters and their stories as they all wove together in a large gathering of friends, families and loved ones. There was a hidden gem in each book. Highly recommend the books and I look forward to reading more novels by Erin.

Through the emotional ups and downs laughter and tears this is the most endearing story of the series! From Mia's childlike innocence to Jonah's logical pacifism the story keeps your attention. Of course, there is a bet that makes things more interesting. As per normal for any book, Ms. Peer writes nothing can be simple or straight forward. There have to be plot twists and other types of interference just to make things fun.

I'll never get tired saying how much I love this series and I can't believe that I just finished the last book of it. With every book I fell in love with the couple and Mila and Jonah were not different. Elin did a magnificent job on building our anticipation for these two from previous books and thank God they met my expectations.
I hope that this is not the end of the Men of the North. I hope the author takes a break from them -if needed- and then maybe we can visit them again? I already miss the Men of the North.
