I kept thinking about this while reading The Gilded Wolves. Even though I can’t stand Nicholas Cage I still love that movie because of the treasure hunt, clues, and puzzles.
I absolutely loved the chapter when Zofia and Enrique work together to solve the Horus Eye riddle or later when they must figure out the code to save Laila! It was all so exciting and fascinating! All of the clues and puzzles actually kind of reminded me of the movie National Treasure. My favorite part of The Gilded Wolves was all the puzzles and riddles that the team had to solve. I did however really like the little history sections at the intros of each part that explain a little more about Forging magic. I actually kept forgetting that we were in Paris. Also, It was a little weird because I was getting futuristic vibes and didn’t realize that it was actually set in Paris 1889. It was very hard for me to picture the world. I felt thrown into this confusing and complex world and magic system. The beginning of the book is chock full of information. One major problem I had was the world building. A heist, magic, Paris, and a kickass team! Can it be any cooler!? Unfortunately, I don’t have really any strong feelings about The Gilded Wolves. It wasn’t good or bad. I had heard about The Gilded Wolves prior to receiving this box and the premise caught my attention immediately.
I received The Gilded Wolves as part of Owl Crate’s Magical Artifacts box. What they find might change the course of history–but only if they can stay alive. Together, they will join Séverin as he explores the dark, glittering heart of Paris. To hunt down the ancient artifact the Order seeks, Séverin calls upon a band of unlikely experts: An engineer with a debt to pay. 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. Here, no one keeps tabs on dark truths better than treasure-hunter and wealthy hotelier Séverin Montagnet-Alarie. 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. From New York Times bestselling author Roshani Chokshi comes The Gilded Wolves, a novel set in Paris during a time of extraordinary change–one that is full of mystery, decadence, and dangerous desires…
