Goodreads Synopsis:
No one believes in them. But soon no one will forget them.
It’s 1889. The city is on the cusp of industry and power, and the Exposition Universelle has breathed new life into the streets and dredged up ancient secrets. Here, no one keeps tabs on dark truths better than treasure-hunter and wealthy hotelier Séverin Montagnet-Alarie. When the elite, ever-powerful Order of Babel coerces him to help them on a mission, Séverin is offered a treasure that he never imagined: his true inheritance.
To hunt down the ancient artifact the Order seeks, Séverin calls upon a band of unlikely experts: An engineer with a debt to pay. A historian banished from his home. A dancer with a sinister past. And a brother in arms if not blood.
Together, they will join Séverin as he explores the dark, glittering heart of Paris. What they find might change the course of history–but only if they can stay alive.
My Review:
(Originally posted on another platform)
Enrique and Hypnos were my favorite characters, but I loved everyone. Everyone had an interesting origin story and a reason for where they were now. I definitely saw the same dynamic as Six of Crows, which I loved. Séverin was like Kaz if he was less in denial about how emo he was. No one can convince me otherwise. Heist books are incredibly hard to execute, and it’s so impressive how well this was done. Everything happened for a reason and I can’t wait to see what the gang does next, especially because of that ending!
Essentially, I absolutely loved this book and wish there would be a million more. The Silvered Serpents is one of my most anticipated books of 2020. I would easily recommend this to any of my friends, and I have, MANY times. I can’t imagine not having read this book.
I would rate this book…
⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️/5.
