The Gilded Wolves by Roshani Chokshi
4.0
3.75 stars
Honestly, I was confused throughout this book. I had no idea who is who and what is what. It's almost a reminiscence of reading Da Vinci Code for the first time, where I had no idea what is going on due to the onslaught of different languages and fancy term. However, I absolutely adore Da Vinci Code. Thus, it is not a surprise that I really enjoy this book too.
What really captured my attention were the characters. I never really realized I'm a sucker for the found family trope. This book definitely delivers, with an impressive BIPOC and queer representation. I adore all characters except for Tristan, which turned out to have a significant role at the end and I had zero feelings for him.
I feel like it could be better if there were little to no foreshadowing during the heist. It was too obvious to me that things are not going to go down nicely, and that dampers my expectations as I was mentally preparing for the damage control. The impact would be greater for me if I had not see it coming.
Overall, I really enjoy it. I will check out the next book to see how it progresses.
