The Silvered Serpents by Roshani Chokshi
5.0
Thank you Netgalley and the publisher for an eARC in exchange for an honest review.
I loved this book.
I had a few reservations after reading the first in the series, the Gilded Wolves. The mythology was dense and complicated, but I was completely won over by the characters. The second book expands on this and the character growth is phenomenal.
The stakes have been raised. The group moves from the industrial streets of Paris to the snowy tundra of Russia. The scenery is majestic and the characters rise to the occasion. Each gains a further appreciation of their strengths. They rush toward finding the book that will save Laila's life and grant Severin's wishes. I loved the addition of the addictive blood magic and how it could be used to help or hinder the troop.
My favorite character remains Hypnos and his stylish audacity, serving as a mask to hide his need to belong. He remains hilariously captivating. Zofia is definitely my second favorite. Her heroic charge to save her friends is the best scene of the book.
And that ending!!! This book won't be published until September of this year. Does this mean I have to wait one to two years to figure out WTF?!?! Stupid cliffhangers!! (This is not to say the book didn't have a satisfying ending. But I really need book three. Stat.)
