Returning to the dark and glamorous 19th century world of her New York Times instant bestseller, The Gilded Wolves, Roshani Chokshi dazzles us with another riveting tale as full of mystery and danger as ever in The Silvered Serpents. They are each other’s fiercest love, greatest danger, and only hope. Séverin and his team members might have successfully thwarted the Fallen House, but victory came at a terrible cost — one that still haunts all of them. Desperate to make amends, Séverin pursues a dangerous lead to find a long lost artifact rumored to grant its possessor the power of God. Their hunt lures them far from Paris, and into the icy heart of Russia where crystalline ice animals stalk forgotten mansions, broken goddesses carry deadly secrets, and a string of unsolved murders makes the crew question whether an ancient myth is a myth after all. As hidden secrets come to the light and the ghosts of the past catch up to them, the crew will discover new dimensions of themselves. But what they find out may lead them down paths they never imagined. A tale of love and betrayal as the crew risks their lives for one last job.

my brain's on again which i guess means book plot twists don't surprise me anymore BUT i got the found family content i love so much from this series so i'm a happy gal
The adventure! The drama! The splendor! The angst!
I love all the characters, but I have to say Séverin and his brooding man-pain could get a bit tiresome. However, it served a purpose, so I wouldn't call it a drawback – it just made me look forward to the other characters' chapters more.
Despite my complaint about Séverin, one of my favorite aspects of The Silvered Serpents is the characters deal with their grief and pain from the first book. It's an integral part of the story and not ignored.
Some of the plot points were a bit predictable, but the story still held my interest. I'd say it served more as setting up the next book, in terms of where this story ended and exploring the world more.
Overall, a wonderful sequel to The Gilded Wolves. I can't wait until the next book comes out.
Audiobook Review: I had listened to The Gilded Wolves this summer, and when I started reading The Silver Serpents as an eBook, it just didn't live up to the first book. I waited until I could listen to the audiobook. The narrators do such a wonderful job of bringing the characters to life. The accents are fantastic - much better than what I could try to conjure up in my head if I read it. I think half the reason Hypnos is my favorite character is because of P.J. Ochlan's performance.
Thank you to Netgalley and the publisher for providing this ARC in exchange for an honest review.
