The Bronzed Beasts
The Bronzed Beasts | Roshani Chokshi
35 posts | 15 read | 7 to read
Returning to the dark and glamorous 19th century world of her New York Times instant bestseller, The Gilded Wolves, Roshani Chokshi dazzles us with the final riveting tale as full of mystery and danger as ever in The Bronzed Beasts. After Sverin's seeming betrayal, the crew is fractured. Armed with only a handful of hints, Enrique, Laila, Hypnos and Zofia must find their way through the snarled, haunted waterways of Venice, Italy to locate Sverin. Meanwhile, Sverin must balance the deranged whims of the Patriarch of the Fallen House and discover the location of a temple beneath a plague island where the Divine Lyre can be played and all that he desires will come to pass. With only ten days until Laila expires, the crew will face plague pits and deadly masquerades, unearthly songs and the shining steps of a temple whose powers might offer divinity itself...but at a price they may not be willing to pay.

I loved the setting and how vivid & magical everything felt. I still missed the heist because this was more like a treasure hunt. I like them too so I was okay with it but I still loved the first installment most.

This gave a pefect conclusion and the whole trilogy has been a fantastic experience.

What a cool series. This was the first one id read on paper rather than listened to, purely because it‘s what I could get my hands on. I missed the narration. But still a really satisfying read and end to the series. ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

I find myself disgruntled that this trilogy has ended. How dare someone write something this good. I am properly offended.

Wow! My mind has been blown! I just finished the last book of the Gilded Wolves trilogy in the bus, and found it quite upsetting that I couldn‘t display many emotions, as people would think I‘ve fallen on my head and gone completely bonkers!

Back to the point, this book was truly well written and is worth so much love! ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

I absolutely love this book and it was a great ending to the series. It has definitely become one of my favorite book series and I honestly believe that it should have more hype and a bigger fanbase. I love the characters, the world, the writing, EVERYTHING and I highly recommend these books to anyone who likes: found family, historical fiction, magic, heists and books with LGBTQ+ representation.
(Be warned: I cried...and so will you) ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

Amidst all the uncertainty, there was one thing Zofia knew without a doubt: She did not know what would happen next.

Laila often thought of what it meant to be lost in a kiss. The sensation so heady and drowning that the world beyond it ceased to exist. But in this kiss, Laila was not lost, but found.

“How do I know I like you?” repeated Enrique. He forced a grin to his face. “I don‘t know. It comes from some other place inside me. The place that believes in superstitions…stories. It feels like…like belonging.”

5⭐️ A high rating because I love Chokshi‘s writing.

Reading this novel felt like Roshani Chokshi was letting us briefly glimpse a bit of her heart and soul. It was so raw and beautiful. Her gorgeous descriptive language immersed the reader fully into the world she built. Chokshi has a way of incorporating all the five senses into her writing, which is completely transportive.

Jess_Read_This @erinreads I hope you enjoy the series as much as I did. I felt with the descriptive language, Chokshi creates a true reading experience for her readers. I‘m looking forward to hearing what you think when you read The Gilded Wolves. 2y

“Do you know how the world ends?” She asked softly.
“Fire and brimstone, I imagine?”
“No,” she said smiling. “It ends in terrible beauty”

Nice cheery breakfast reading to start off 2022…and don‘t judge my generous serving of butter. 🥞

With this book, the trilogy comes to an end... And even though I'm not quite satisfied with how it ends, it was still a great book to read, and I loved diving into this magical, bewitched world. I fell even more for Zofia, she grew so much! Chokshi does have a great talent for drawing characters, but Zofia is exeptional. Her character development is astonishing. Guess I need to read more by Roshani Chokshi, right?

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️It‘s hard to talk about this book as the story, characters, & setting felt so unique. The story itself never caught me as strongly as I thought it would, but I found myself thinking about the characters often when I wasn‘t reading, & I think their construction is where Chokshi shines. The ending had so much hope & heart - I think this will be one that the feeling stays with me even if the details fade. Beautifully written.

@TheAromaOfBooks - It turns out my ebook of The Bronzed Beasts is broken and I can't read it anymore. I've ordered the physical copy now, but it won't arrive until the end of the month. So I'll read it in November instead.

But it is also my #BookSpin for October. Shall I replace it, or call it a DNF, even though it's not really a DNF? 😌

#BookSpinBingo

TheAromaofBooks If you want, I can draw another number for you to use as your BookSpin?? 2y
Jari-chan @TheAromaofBooks Really? If it's not to much trouble that would be nice. What if it's a number to a book I already finished? 2y
TheAromaofBooks No trouble at all!! I keep my little bowl of numbers on the shelf haha So I drew out the number 8 just now... and if you've already read that one, just let me know, because it means you already finished your BookSpin for the month!!! 2y
