Loved this! I will read anything that Roshani Chokshi writes. I believe this is how a sequel is meant to be done.

Totally gripping. Fast paced and immersive.
The publisher generously provided me with a copy of the book upon request on NetGalley. The rating, ideas and opinions shared are my own.

This book was beyond amazing, I loved every page and the characters where so good.
The plot was gripping and had me hooked from the first chapter.

This was a highly anticipated sequel for me and it did not disappoint! I had enjoyed the first book but this one made me love the characters even more. The stakes felt higher and I loved the character dynamics and tensions and where they all ended up. The pacing was really great and added to the atmosphere and kept me on my toes. As always, Roshani Chokshi's writing is beautiful and she always does a wonderful job of weaving different cultures and relevant issues into her stories.

Good second to the series. Haunting to see Severin and the gang go through loss like that, Really gives you a glimpse into who people really are when dealing with loss. Obviously everyone is different and some suffer more than others. Does not take away from the plot and the heists the gang go on. Entertaining throughout and character developments are slowly but surely getting there for some.

This book moved well and was one of the best things to get me through lock down. Out of all of the books I read in 2020, I found myself coming back to this one and the entirety of the trilogy.

I absolutely love this book! The first book is a great introduction to the world and characters, and this is a fantastic extension of that. I really love how the characters processed their grief from the loss they experienced in the last book. This book is definitely darker and grimmer than the first one. I did feel like the villain’s actions were predictable, but that’s bound to happen and isn’t a big enough flaw for it to ruin the book. Overall, I enjoyed this sequel and highly recommend it!

I really enjoyed the storyline in world building in the novel. I also really liked the characters. I thought this was a solid read, and I will definitely be reading more by this author.

The Silvered Serpents is a mesmerizing sequel that left me utterly spellbound. Returning to the enchanting world of 19th-century Paris, Chokshi masterfully crafts a tale of mystery, danger, and heartache that kept me eagerly turning the pages.

As we reunite with Séverin and his eclectic team, I found myself drawn deeper into their world, fascinated by their complex dynamics and individual struggles. From the bustling streets of Paris to the icy landscapes of Russia, Chokshi's vivid descriptions transported me to each setting, immersing me in a world where myth and reality collide in the most captivating ways.

One of the highlights of this book is the depth of character development. As Séverin and his companions embark on a perilous quest, they are forced to confront their own fears, desires, and darkest secrets. The evolution of their relationships is beautifully portrayed, adding layers of depth and emotion to the story.

What impressed me most was Chokshi's ability to keep me guessing until the very end. With twists and turns aplenty, "The Silvered Serpents" kept me on the edge of my seat, eagerly anticipating each new revelation. And the ending... oh, the ending left me reeling, desperate for more.

In summary, The Silvered Serpents is a captivating tale of love, betrayal, and redemption that will leave readers breathless. With its richly imagined world, intricate plot, and unforgettable characters, this book is a must-read for fans of historical fantasy. I cannot wait to see how Chokshi concludes this epic trilogy in The Bronzed Beasts.

Loved this book! I was instantly caught up in the stories and the characters. I think having such a dynamic and Carrie red array of main characters makes it really fun and interesting right away. The world-building and lore were amazing as well. Can’t wait to read more from this story line and this author.

The Silvered Serpents was even better than The Gilded Wolves, in my opinion. The stakes are even higher for Severin and his crew. I’m a sucker for a heist story with a rag tag team but I’m worried this series will leave me gutted before it’s over.

In an attempt to keep this review spoiler free, I'll be vague on the plot, but we pick up right where we left off in TGW. The cast is dealing with the loss from the previous book, along with the bombshell dropped at the end, and Severin has decided to get the gang together for one more heist, the one that will give him everything he thinks his heart desires. The main thread of the book focuses on Severin and his internal turmoil, while also furthering one of the romance plots that was set up in the end of book one. I'll be honest, my ship didn't take off, but that's ok. What matters is that we get to see one of the main characters delve into full on villain mode, which I am ALWAYS here for.

If you enjoyed The Gilded Wolves, I can't imagine you not taking a shine to The Silvered Serpents as well, and I think I speak for a few other people when I say that we'll be twiddling our thumbs wondering how to pass the time until book 3 is published. I highly recommend this series to fans of Leigh Bardugo's Six of Crows, as it gives you a new setting with some of the same feels.

*Many thanks to the publisher for providing my review copy.

This book could not grab me after several tries so I will not be giving feedback at this time. Others have loved this so I may try again in the future.

I got about 50 pages in and it just didn't grab me, so I DNF'd it. I can see a market for it, but unfortunately it is not one for me.

To be honest, I hadn’t planned on picking this book up. I initially DNFed The Gilded Wolves but later went back and finished it, but it was a struggle to get through. I seem to either absolutely adore Chokshi’s books or they just don’t work for me at all. When it came to this sequel, I decided to give it a try, one last chance for the series. Unfortunately it just didn’t deliver what I needed to keep going. The one aspect that held my attention the longest in the first book was the magic system which I hoped to see explored deeper in The Silvered Serpents. Instead, we don’t get nearly enough of it and are instead left with a plot that plods along at a snail’s pace. I never felt the tension, the suspense, the need to keep turning the page. It didn’t feel like this book really developed anything from the first one and hit in that middle-book-syndrome space. I left it as DNF a little over halfway through and will likely not give this series another try.

Really enjoyed it, perfect sequel! I read it in one sitting, and the ending made me so shocked and left me with more questions.

Thank you, NetGalley, for providing me with an eARC of The Silver Serpents by Roshani Chokshi! I remember being so nervous to pick up my first Roshani Chokshi book as I have heard nothing but amazing things about her writing. The Gilded Wolves series is one of those that I cannot put down. The Silvered Serpents was really well-written and I cannot wait to continue with the series - especially after the cliffhanger this book left me with.

What a solid sequel to the Gilded Wolves!!

This is how sequels should be done to the first. The characters were more developed and more lovable than first.

Such huge themes here, and with so many threads you can only do a few of them really well. This second book has everything you need to continue: mystery, adventure, fast-moving plots. And the ending? Might as well make sure you have book 3 when you pick this one up!
