I loved the ride, and I can't wait until the next one comes out. The story drew me right in and didn't slow down. This book is part fantasy, part historical fiction, part heist story, non-stop action. I would definitely encourage teen librarians to snap this one right up. Plus, it's by an author who is definitely on the rise, so it's likely to be in demand by many readers. There's plenty for all sorts of readers to enjoy, and enough actual meat to encourage all sorts of debate and discussion. It has a little bit of something for everyone. Librarian: If you're looking for a book to use for a teen book group or one to use for a battle of the books competition, this is a great choice. Dazzling, sharp, and as dangerous as a freshly polished sword, The Gilded Wolves is a brilliant kaleidoscope of decadent world building, seductive magic, and utterly immersive storytelling." (Stephanie Garber, New York Times best-selling author of Caraval)
This is a book to swan dive into, swim around in, luxuriate in.” (Laini Taylor, New York Times best-selling author of Strange the Dreamer) Except, that is, for Roshani Chokshi’s magical Belle Epoque Paris, where a crew of brilliant, tricksy, dispossessed young people are fighting personal demons and powerful foes to carve out their place in the world. What they find might change the world, but only if they can stay alive. Together, they'll have to use their wits and knowledge to hunt the artifact through the dark and glittering heart of Paris. To find the ancient artifact the Order seeks, Séverin will need help from a band of experts: an engineer with a debt to pay a historian who can't yet go home a dancer with a sinister past and a brother in all but blood who might care too much. But when the all-powerful society the Order of Babel seeks him out for help, Séverin is offered a treasure he never imagined: his true inheritance. In this city, no one keeps tabs on secrets better than treasure-hunter and wealthy hotelier Séverin Montagnet-Alarie.
Paris, 1889: The world is on the cusp of industry and power, and the Exposition Universelle has breathed new life into the streets and dredged up ancient secrets. Set in a darkly glamorous world, New York Times best-selling author Roshani Chokshi's The Gilded Wolves is full of mystery, decadence, and dangerous but thrilling adventure. This program includes a bonus interview with the author.
