Gr 9 Up-Paris, 1889: Séverin Montagnet-Alarie is well known throughout Paris society as a wealthy hotelier-a persona that helps him acquire secrets and artifacts from the French faction of the Order. The Order is composed of powerful houses that manage all Forged artifacts and guard the secrets of the Babel Fragments that make Forging both materials and minds possible. Over the years, Séverin has created a loyal team to help with his acquisitions: Tristan, his brother in everything but blood; Enrique, a Filipino historian eager to champion his own cause; Zofia, a Polish engineer with obligations of her own; and Lailah, an Indian dancer with a secret that could be deadly. The Order has taken everything from Séverin, but if he and his crew find an ancient artifact for a rival, he could get it all back and change their fates. This series starter is a sumptuous historical fantasy that perfectly evokes the luxury and unrest of Belle Époque Paris alongside a carefully detailed world where Babel fragments allow Forgers to create wonders. Séverin and members of his crew alternate chapters in close third-person, introducing readers to their faceted backstories while the narrative unfolds. Chokshi has created an inclusive and authentic cast with obvious chemistry and affection for one another and infuses the tale with witty banter and twists. In addition to solving ciphers and riddles on the hunt for the artifact, these characters also interrogate the troubling history of European colonialism and cultural appropriation.

From New York Times bestselling author Roshani Chokshi comes a novel set in Paris during a time of extraordinary change--one that is full of mystery, decadence, and dangerous desires...
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.
Mkay Let's cut to the chase. This novel has three issues: the pacing is awkward because of the random infodumps that didn't give us the information we needed, more infodumpiness was needed to introduce us to the relationships between the characters (see other comments about us being dumped into a second book instead of a first), and the characters felt like impressions of other book characters rather than constructs of real people.Pros: Prose, lush setting, eventually character development, twists.On second thought, I'm bumping this one up to four stars. The diverse cast were at least interesting enough for the sequel. If I want to read the sequel, I should at least rate it four stars for overall impression."Wolves were everywhere...They cut their teeth on history and grew fat on war." I was lucky enough to get an early copy of The Gilded Wolves in a trade and I LOVED this adventure. The Gilded wolves was an awesome mix of danger, gorgeous storytelling and incredibly interesting characters.Severin and company are the perfect blend. They each have their own strengths, weaknesses and secrets that make this crew exactly what this book needs. It is clear that everything is motivated by Severin's overall end goal, but Laila, Zofia, Enrique and Tristan each take their own stages in this story. Their individual plot lines tie everything in perfectly. I really liked that Severin had his distant moments, but he didn't have that dark, low key terrible person that has done very terrible things vibe that you get with some leaders in this genre.The end will make you feel such a whirlwind of emotions it's not even funny. Brace yourself to be hurt, angry and conflicted.Buckle up, beautiful people. It's going to be a long wait for TGW 2, but I know it's going to be worth it.
