I'm not crying, you're crying! This was quite the ride, and I'm still feeling the effects of the ending. I thought it had a bit of a slow start, but overall I liked it better than the first book!

took me out of a reading slump ty roshani loml

4 stars.

okay, confession. i read the first book in this series so long ago i had to look up a synopsis online because i could not remember anything that happened. all i remember is that i found the first book tedious and a bit boring up until the end, where everything happened within the last ~50 pages. i really didn't think i'd even continue the series, but my completionist ass couldn't let it go. and so, here we are.

y'all, i'm so glad i picked this up. the silvered serpents is, in my opinion, so much better to its predecessor. you can really see how chokshi has grown as a writer; everything is smoother, the pacing issues from the first book are (mostly) fixed, and every character felt more fleshed out than book one. i adored reading about this group of misfits again (especially enrique, who is and will forever be my favorite).

Spoiler

and there was something so addicting about watching séverin descend into his own madness after tristan's death, walling himself off to those he loves most in a feeble attempt to save them.

and the ending?! HELLO?! i immediately picked up the third book because i need to know how this all ends.

i guess the reason this isn't a 5-star is because there's still some issues. being in the same place for the entirety of the book made the middle drag a bit (though not nearly as much as the first book), and maybe i'm just dumb, but i still found the world rather confusing. but this still was a great sequel, and i really hope the finale is good *fingers crossed*.
