Holy crow! I often struggle with book two's of a series because they tend to be fillers but to be honest I enjoyed this one much more than Gilded Wolves. The adventures found in The Silvered Serpent are truly unique. You will board a roller coaster of twists you won't be expecting.

This team of misfits are grieving the loss of their friend when they're thrown into an adventure filled with secrets and lies. Some secrets will be revealed and leave you reeling. If you thought the ending of Gilded Wolves broke you than you better prepare for more heartbreak because the ending of Silvered Serpents will leave you breathless.

You won't know who to trust or where to turn when it comes to the twists in this YA Fantasy. Better get prepared for the ride of your life!

A superior sequel that ups the stakes and expands the world, all a reader could ask for. The pace is movie-worthy, the description lyrically cinematic. Some of the plot twists are super obvious from early on, but enough will surprise you. A good bit of the character tension is from the miscommunication trope, but the novel has enough else going for it, from characters you root for to the machinations of its mystery, that I can let that slide. It’s just good, entertaining fun with enough emotional weight and longing hope to be a full course meal instead of sugar-coated goo. 8.5/10 definitely recommend.
