Hold onto your magical artifacts, folks, because "The Silvered Serpents" is like the sequel that drank a potion of awesomeness – it's darker, emotional, and has an ending that left me gasping like a fish out of water!

Pros:

Such a good sequel... much more emotional. I love "hearing" everyone's internal dialogue. The ending had me breathless! ( )

The story picks up a few months after [b:The Gilded Wolves|39863498|The Gilded Wolves (The Gilded Wolves, #1)|Roshani Chokshi|https://i.gr-assets.com/images/S/compressed.photo.goodreads.com/books/1525714353l/39863498._SY75_.jpg|53547018]. Everyone is dealing with the events --and deaths--badly. Soon, the crew must gather back together for a series of heists in Russia. As in the previous book, the characters are very competent. I love it. I cannot wait until the next novel. ( )

‘The Silvered Serpents’ was one of my highly anticipated reads of 2020. I couldn’t wait to get my grubby little hands on it, and I am ecstatic to say that the author knows how to deliver! This was absolutely phenomenal, breathtaking and everything in between! I am seriously blown away. Usually I don’t have much success with sequels of any series, so I was a little apprehensive going into this read but the Book Gods above were on my side!

We basically started off where we left off ‘The Gilded Wolves’. The aftermath of Tristen's death, which still makes me tear up, and the crew attempts to find the whereabouts of The Divine Lyrics—the ancient book that holds the secret of Forging, the knowledge of how to rejoin the Babel Fragments and—in the eyes of the Fallen House—how to access the power of God. It was darker, grittier, angstier, and more emotional than the prequel. The depressing undertones were refreshing because typically once a centralized character dies in any book, they usually mourn for a few chapters before heading out of the next adventure. Our precious baby Tristan was still very much on their minds throughout the whole read and I loved how the author touched on the aftermath of his death— it was real and it was raw.

I love every second of this book and I must now suffer in silence until the next book comes out. The anticipation is killing me!

Despite Lia'sand Lucy's warnings and my preparations, I was still unprepared for this book. You think some authors can be cruel to their characters? This Author is one of them
I am scared for Book 3 not going to lie. ( )
