Wow. WOW. I gave The Gilded Wolves five stars, but I'm seriously reconsidering knocking it down to four stars because The Silvered Serpents is so phenomenal, so breath-takingly tense and amazing, that I can't imagine how amazing that final book will be that follows it.
As someone who also enjoys writing, I felt like this story was so well-crafted! Roshani does a wonderful job fully delivering on the series promise of feeling like National Treasure. The majority of this book centers around finding The Divine Book of Lyrics, a magical object with the power to turn one into a God - or give them god-like powers, anyway. When we begin the story, our characters are still grieving from the loss of Tristan. Enrique is trying to distance himself from the team and make his own name; Zofia is on her way back from her spending time with her ill sister; Laila is counting down her days to live; Hypnos is shrouded in secret as he leads a romance with Enrique; and Severin is so absolutely destroyed, and seeking to be a God. So, you know, totally normal stuff! As the team reunites once a lead arises about the Divine Book, their traumas, secrets, and desires clash together as they work through puzzles and treasures in their quest. Along the way, we have a few other major players: Delphine, the almost-mother that abandons Severin as a child; and Eva and Ruslan, two people from the Russian house to help. But no heist is ever normal, and things go south at an alarming speed, leading to what is probably one of the most shocking endings EVER.
This book was so phenomenal, I couldn't stop saying "oh my GOD" at the end of it! The last 100 pages or so is BANANAS and it totally stole my breath away. Also, Severin was out to make me CRY in this one and I was very stressed OFTEN. Overall, 100/10, would recommend.
I received a digital ARC of this copy in exchange for an honest review. Thanks to Netgalley and MacMillan/Wednesday Books for providing me a copy!

Better than the first, and that’s a high compliment. I loved all the perspectives. I can’t wait to read the final installment.

"when the devil waged war in the heavens, even the angels fell."
other than the fact that my last remaining braincell could not handle the complexity of the plot, this was amazing.
3.5/5 stars

This book was slow, halting in some ways, and the descriptions didn't work for me this time. Nevertheless, the ending was certainly interesting, even if the reveal wasn't all that surprising. I'll definitely read the next book, if only because of that ending.

Druga część tej historii podobała mi się bardziej niż pierwsza, ale wciąż mi brakuje czegoś, czego nie umiem do końca nazwać, aby przyznać „Srebrzystym wężom” więcej gwiazdek. Mimo wszystko to była całkiem przyjemna lektura zakończona dość okrutnym cliffhangerem, ale nie czuję potrzeby, żeby rzucić wszystko i czytać „Bestie z brązu”.
Może to po prostu nie mój klimat
