Part of the experience is knowing they’re formulaic and then just sitting back to enjoy the ride, fall in love with the characters, root for your favorite ‘ships, and see how they’ll defeat the bad guys. That said, I still think they’re a lot of fun. These books are basically Six of Crows but a little more formulaic and tropey.

But beware: Séverin is spiraling and soooooo dramatic in this one. This one picks up where that one left off, with our characters fractured but determined to find an ancient book they all desperately want for different reasons. In The Gilded Wolves, they embark on a mission to restore Severin’s status as head of one of the four ruling families, and pretty much save the world from an unknown enemy trying to restore the Tower of Babel and become gods. The trilogy is a multi-POV story about crew of young heisters, led by a man (boy? idk, it’s YA) named Séverin. Then it was on to this one, all in preparation for the third and final book coming out this month!
