The Gilded Wolves by Roshani Chokshi
4.0

A rather refreshing type of YA fantasy. I can see why this was hyped up so much. With the inclusion of math and equations and puzzles, I felt like this was really special.
With a diverse set of characters, Enrique and Zofia being my favorite, they really brought the story to life.
I enjoyed the heartwarming found family moments of this group, even welcoming in Hypnos.

However, I felt like the Babel fragments and the Fallen house weren’t discussed thoroughly enough to have as much of an impact on the book as they had. The climax with the Babel fragment felt too grandiose in comparison to the rest of the novel and I wished that the whole book had that sort of world building and writing.

I’m looking forward to the second book and hoping that it is even better than the first.

Thank you to the publishers and Netgalley for my copy in exchange for an honest review.
