The Silvered Serpents by Roshani Chokshi
5.0

**I received an eARC of 'The Silvered Serpents' through NetGalley, in exchange for an honest review**

Roshani Chokshi's 'The Silvered Serpents' was such a great read, and it left me wanting soo much more!

This is the sequel to 'The Gilded Wolves', which takes Severin and his crew into Russia in order to find an object that is said to have the power of the gods. This story takes place a couple months after the events of the first book, and the group are still mourning over the tragedy that took place at the end of 'The Gilded Wolves'. Everyone is struggling to move forward. Relationships are severely strained, making the task of working together very complicated. However, they face any struggles encountered in Russia seamlessly, placing the goal of seeking the object ahead of personal conflicts.

I already enjoyed the personalities Severin, Laila, and the crew expressed, but I feel that she added a whole new dimension to their characters in 'The Silvered Serpents'. Each person's conflict was displayed and described beautifully. We dive more into each character's personal struggle with racism and social complications, and how they persevere in spite of said complications. Each person carries their own internal 'flaw', and they grow even closer as the story progresses, building up to quite a huge cliffhanger!

'The Silvered Serpents' is an excellent follow up to 'The Gilded Wolves'! I can't wait to purchase this book when it's released...and anxiously awaiting book 3 of the trilogy!
