Talk about plot twists! First of all the Cover is GORGEOUS. I hope the cover stays as is. I love reading setting in the 1800s, there is so much to adapt in a story and this was the perfect example of it. Magic, action, drama, just all of it.

SIX OF CROWS by way of THE LAST MAGICIAN, Roshani Chokshi's THE GILDED WOLVES is a decadent romp in 19th century Paris full of magic, adventure, and plenty of delight along the way. If, like me, you were on the fence about Chokshi's previous YA novels and hesitate in picking this one up, I'm here to tell you that you would be doing yourself a disfavor by skipping it. Imagination and wonder seeps through every lush page. You'll be hard-pressed to not immediately fall in love with this distinctive and diverse crew of characters that are flawed yet instantly root-able. You'll laugh at the banter, swoon at the romance, and seize with every tense moment as you race through catacombs and untangle the mysteries of legends and secret societies. THE GILDED WOLVES is the successor to SIX OF CROWS that I've been waiting for and it does not disappoint. The only question is: when can I get my hands on the next installment?
