I just adore these characters! This group had stolen my heart and I love to follow their adventures.

I didn't like how this concentrated mostly on one location and that made this feel a bit claustrophobic.

I loved the heists in the first installment, all that planning and making strategies: this wasn't like that. This story got things to move forward for the next installment but I waited for something more.

Andrew65 Well done 👏👏👏 Sounds a good series. 2y

What do I even say? I read the first part of this series last year (hehe) and am still so in love with the characters and the world that Roshani Chokshi has created. I finished this book really quickly and am not really ready for it to be over. Luckily, the third book awaits! ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

“Excuses?” repeated Laila. “Excuses for what?”

“Excuses to stay away from you,” he said, the words rushing out of him. “Excuses to tell you that you‘re a poison I‘ve come to crave. Excuses to tell you that you terrify me out of my senses, and how I‘m fairly certain you‘ll be the death of me, Laila, and yet I can‘t bring myself to mind.”

In debating the merits of pursuing hidden treasure, one must weigh the risk of wether it was never meant to be found and if so, why?

4/5 for the second in this series. I loved this one. I need the next book right now! There was plenty of action in this one. Also some romance! I love this author. I would definitely recommend this series.

This book kept me reading at a time when it seems I couldn't. It broke my heart again, like the first book but I can't wait to read the last one. I love my gang of broken thieves.

Start with The Gilded Wolves then run with The Silvered Serpents.

I started reading back in August hoping I could get back to reading more than 10 minutes a day. Covid really got and almost killed my reading. Still I kept reading the second book of this series because even if I only read 10 minutes a day it kept me engaged and interested. I was sad I did not have the attention and concentration to read more of it each day. #goodthing #netgalley

writerlibrarian It is very much because of the plot, the characters, oh Enrique and Zofia I love you both, that I kept reading almost every day. I can't think of a better review.

Read up to 43% . A huge 6% more while debugging my dad's laptop. He unclipped a memory card and he did not notice. Easy repair. I ran the antivirus and the laptop is clean. Mimi wanted to help out.

2020 is hard. Hard to read. Hard at work. We went back to no contact loans as the virus rages again. I go to work, go back home. Grocery once a week, early Sunday morning. Bi-weekly appointments to stay healthy, chiro and acupuncture. That's my life under Covid. I lost my grey baby at the end of August. Her litter sister kept looking for her every night. Hence the new resident. Artemis aka Mimi. I read about 10 m a day. 2020 sucks.

Leftcoastzen This does suck .So sorry for your loss , I had a wonderful kitty ,Mabel, who looked a lot like your beautiful grey kitty.2020 is a dumpster fire.Cute kitten.😻 4y
dgingo I‘m sorry for the loss of your sweet kitty. 💜 I‘m glad you were able to welcome another kitty baby into your home and save a life. This year is hard, and I‘m struggling to find the time/ability to read for pleasure, too. 10 minutes a day is a good way to get back into it. Sending you and Artemis good wishes. 4y
Susanita I‘m sorry about your kitty. 4y

#111 of my year. I remember reading the first book and falling in love with the group of characters. I‘m really excited to read book 2 today. I‘m listening to Fly Me To The Moon by Lotus Blue🌻

Caffeinated_Reader That was a emotionally charged read. I can‘t believe the ending. I was balling my eyes out and then left speechless. I absolutely missed these characters and the world they‘re in. Man that was a fantastic follow up! Highly recommend. I especially loved the detail of the palace and everything that was found in it. It was truly amazing to read. 4y

I liked this better than The Gilded Wolves, but I wanted to give some of the characters a good shake and tell them to stop being stupid. Overall, a good escape from the day-to-day grind of life in a pandemic.

What. The. Fuuuuuuuuuuuuck????

I wasn't a big fan of The Guilded Wolves but it was ok enough for me to read this book and I freaking loved it! There is still WAY too much Indiana Jones-ing for this to be believable but I loved really getting to know the characters more. That ending might have killed me. Now I need the next book. Stupid endings....

Oh...and it's set at xmas time so #HolidayRead 😊😊
