Tristan!I loved this book and hated it. I really enjoyed the Gilded Wolves and Tristan was my favorite character. I just loved how he was quiet and seemed to be the one that grounded Séverin. I enjoyed how Séverin kept thinking back on his and Tristans times with the seven different foster fathers they had. It gave a lot of insight into both of their characters and how their psyche’s were formed.Tristan definitely had the most comical scenes, since he had Goliath as a pet. I mean how can a taran...

↠ 5 starsI am once again asking you to read a book that destroyed me emotionally. Seriously, what did I just read? I think I need to go lie down in a dark room for a few hours to contemplate it in its entirety. Maybe by then I will have processed the five stages of grief and have accepted everything that happened from start to finish.The Silvered Serpents is the captivating follow up to first book in the series, The Gilded Wolves. In it, Roshani Chokshi builds off of the concluding events from t...

5/5 ⭐Full review on my Blog: The Dacian She-Wolf 🐺 “Life is cruel, and often without cake.” I swear, I will buy some fancy opera glasses only to look at this beautiful sequel *inserts heart eyes emoji*Well, there you go, people! The action goes on and everything that we seemed to love in the first book is twisted AF in this one and nothing is what it once was and everything is a total riot and I think I’m into that more than I’d like to accept.You know that feeling when you spend a couple of d...

The Gilded Wolves (#1) ★★★★★The Silvered Serpents (#2) ★★★★☆Roshani Chokshi's beautiful writing continues to create the stunning world in this sequel where the L'Eden squad are searching for an artefact mentioned in the first book, in the midst of a snow-clad Siberia and on the grounds of a Sleeping Palace where the magic, puzzles, and stakes continue to rise. With a greater focus on the emotional pain, struggle, and misunderstanding among the characters, especially after the saddening end of

THIS is how a sequel deserves to be done. it builds so effortlessly upon the first book and in a way that feels more developed, better paced, and has me falling in love with the characters all over again. because thats honestly what i loved most about this - the characters. yes, there is a lot of historical mystery and secretive adventure and fast plots, but wow. these characters are something else. i feel so invested in each and every one of them, which rarely happens for me when theres a large...

“When the devil waged war in the heavens, even angels had to fall.” ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ stars!!Buddy Read with Bhavya💖This book was painful. And beautiful.Especially painful.I was really scared that this book would be disappointing. Especially bcz most of the sequels are so. But this was even better than the previous one.

~ 4.5 stars ~Okay, now that I have done my grieving, it's about time I get started with this review. But keep in mind, this was written by a distressed person who got too emotionally attached. **WARNING: unmarked spoilers for both this book and The Gilded Wolves will be present in this review**This book follows Séverin, Laila, Zofia, Enrique, and Hypnos. They are dealing with the events from the book before, including revelations like that of the Fallen Houses and the things they are after, but

I'm okay. She could not see her hope for what it was, nothing more than a silvered serpent. I-I'm okay. Love did not always wear the face one wished it would. I- Sometimes it looked downright monstrous. I AM NOT OKAY.Thank you Roshani for giving me a heart attack. What a beautiful way to end 2020.😃════▣◎▣════ “You might not be a true muse, but you will live on as inspiration to me.” I don't know how to write this review without breaking into sobs and screa...

I very much wish I did not know the context of “I wish my love were more beautiful”—★—3.5 starsThe Silvered Serpents is the thrilling sequel to The Gilded Wolves, where Séverin and his crew come together again to chase after another artifact at the risk of their own lives. With other troubles weighing them down, like grief and impending death, and the bond between Séverin and everyone else growing more and more tenuous, The Silvered Serpents offers another adventure that could be as exciting as

Ladies and gentlemen we have a big winner!!!! I proudly declare that I finished one of the best books of 2020 right now!I cannot believe how much I loved this book, I gave four stars to the first one and but when I compare two of them, it’s only fair to give this one ten gazillion stars because this is so so so so sooooooooo much better. Can you hear I still slap my forehead for waiting too much to get this into my hands? BANG BANG BANG(Yes, my skull is too thick! Made by more woods than flesh!)...

"Two hours later, Severin poured sealing wax onto several envelopes-one to be sent out immediately, the others to be sent out in two days. A small part of him hesitated, but he steeled himself. He was doing this for them. For his friends. The more he cared about their feelings, the harder his task became. And so he endeavored to feel nothing at all."After reading The Gilded Wolves last year and adoring it, I discovered a new favorite series to follow obsessively. When I turned the final page, I

I’m on BookTube! =)So THIS is finally going to happen! After procrastinating for months (maybe even years?!) I put "The Silvered Serpents" on My March TBR 2022 and I have every intention to follow through with it! I've been dying to read this ever since I read "The Gilded Wolves" and by now I even have "The Bronzed Beasts" at home! Nothing is going to stop me to read the hell out of this series! *lol* YAY!!! I. AM. READY!!! (or at least as ready as I'll ever be... XD)__________________________Up...

4.5 stars I didn’t love this quite as much as The Gilded Wolves but it still came very close. This is ANGSTY! We learn so much more about some of the other characters and I’m so attached to all of them. Some of the villain stuff in this one felt a bit predictable, but that was the only flaw. I’m definitely looking forward to the finale. Review and discussion to come on my channel.

I received this complimentary ARC from the publisher, in exchange for an honest review.THIS BOOK WAS ABSOLUTELY MENTAL AND I LOVED EVERY SECOND OF IT. It wasn’t as confusing as the first instalment. The plot was faster with even higher stakes, leaving me so very worried for my precious babies. I was left an absolute mess and know I’ll have a torturous wait for the third book to release. *cries*This was a sequel DONE RIGHT.

Buddy Read with Rushali and Alexis!Forgot to write this review, and I will just write a short one, not a long one. I might in the future write a long one though.Overall, this book was extremely confusing- just like it's prequel haha. I was confused 90% of the time. But...I still enjoyed it? The magic system still confuses me a lot, and I doubt I'll ever understand it, but from what I could understand, I enjoyed it. All of the characters have unique personalities, and I love how diverse they are....

✧ find this review & others on my blog ✧When it came out a year ago, The Gilded Wolves was a fresh, welcome addition to the YA Fantasy yarn. I pleasurably devoured it, and was really looking forward to reading the sequel and folding myself once again between the characters and their tragedy, lose myself in the beauty of their voices—and have many of my questions answered. Unfortunately, the burst of excitement that flamed in my heart when I picked up this book was quickly swallowed up by dis...

If The Gilded Wolves was a gentleman pickpocket slipping through the luxurious aristocratic parties of Paris, The Silvered Serpents is an anguished ghost dreaming of godhood, haunting the corridors of a palace of ice, hunting myths. “I wish my love was more beautiful.” Sometimes you read books for page-turner, grand action and fast-paced, epic twists and turns, yes, but sometimes, you read them for carefully plotted brilliance and mystical mysteries; sometimes you pick them up for delicate...

It's been so long since a book has touched me this deeply. This is a story of grief. Severin locks his sorrow inside and hardens his face. Laila distances herself from her friends. Enrique throws himself into his work. Zofia leaves L'Eden and its tainted halls. Hypnos tries to fill a role never meant for him. The Silvered Serpents is a recovery story. The crew comes together for one last job, but nothing is the same. It's a weak imitation of the camaraderie of before, and they all know it. Relat...

"I wish my love was more beautiful." Just take my heart. Rip it out, grind it up, burn it all. This sequel was spectacular but it ripped me to shreds. What a beautiful, terrible, heartrending piece of fiction. Everyone should read it.Writing: ★★★★★Plot/Pacing: ★★★★Character development: ★★★★ 1/2Enjoyment: ★★★★★This book is a sequel, and so my review will have SPOILERS for the first book in the series.
