What I love the most about them though is how they refer to each other as Laila and Majnun. They’re so magnetic and you can feel the tension coming off the page. I probably have a breakdown over them every other day (not a joke). If you follow me on Twitter, then you know that Séverin and Laila are one of my all-time favourite fantasy couples. They’re all flawed but that just made each of them so much more interesting to read about. Each character has a very distinct personality and I found myself being able to relate different aspects of each of them. There’s significant character growth throughout this series and they face so many individual challenges. We have the found family trope at play here which is one of my absolute favourite tropes of all time. If you dress to the world’s expectations, it doesn’t look too closely when you steal from it.Ī post shared by g start with the characters. So please, don’t ignore this book just because you think it’s going to be another version of Six of Crows, because it’s not. The plots are in no way similar, and the storyline and themes discussed are also very different. Yes, it has a culturally and racially diverse cast (who I’m absolutely obsessed with by the way), but that’s pretty much where the similarities end. “This sounds exactly like Six of Crows, why should I even bother reading-“ I’m going to have to stop you right there.

The difference between a diamond necklace and a diamond dog collar depends on the bitch. Also buckle up, because this review is way longer than I thought it would be.

It is only a generalised discussion of what I liked and didn’t like overall in the series and some out of context generalised discussions about book 3, but there are no spoilers mentioned in any way. I was also very fortunate to have received an early copy of The Bronzed Beasts for review and since this review is going up a few days before the release, I just wanted to let you know that there will be no spoilers for The Bronzed Beasts in the general portion of this review.

It’s always been on my radar but I finally decided to pick it up only recently, as a part of this project. I read The Gilded Wolves series by Roshani Chokshi back in April (books 1 & 2 only, of course) as part of a project where I read my friends’ favourite books and series. It’s time for a post I’ve been excited but hesitant to do.
