We are back in the beautiful and lush world but things are very different and somber now. The Silvered Serpents picks up where we left the characters still recovering from their sudden loss.

There is a new search underway to find something that is of equal importance to many. This quest leads them out of Paris and into Russia.

There is a lot of intrigue, scheming and a dangerous leviathan that our cast of characters have to thwart to unravel the mystery of the item they hunt for. For this is literally now life and death.

I love and cherish Roshani’s writing. This was a heartbreaking story and frustrating at times because you just want to shake some of them but that’s not how grief works.

The characters are what I love the most about these books. Even though they are hurting they're still a joy to read. There’s just such wonderful representation and the frustration that feel is very palpable and heavily relatable today.

The only problem I have now is how long I have to wait for the last installment. The ending snuck up on me and stole my breath away.

Roshani Chokshi returns readers to a beautifully crafted world of magic, intrigue, relationships and revenge. Chokshi's lush writing style enhances the complicated relationships and motivations that drive each character, leaving the reader wanting more. The Silvered Serpents narrative feels colder and darker than The Gilded Wolves, picking up flawlessly from the end of the first novel. However, despite the overall darker feel, The Silvered Serpents is most definitely a novel about hope and family -- a light that peeks and pulls at the corner of darkness. Chokshi's work is always a pleasure to read, and The Silvered Serpents is no exception!

I did not really like the first book of this series but i decided to give the second one a try. I really enjoyed this one far more that the first one. I was glued to the page and i flew through this book. I will be recommending this book to my friends.

Severin, Laila, Enrique, Zofia, Tristan, and Hypnos return with a ferocious tale of double-crossing, lethal heists, and enigmatic puzzles. Roshani Chokshi does a wonderful job of heightening the stakes. Each character undergoes a unique arc. Shocking events push the sextet to the breaking point. I cannot wait to devour the grand finale.
