I received a copy of this book from the publisher in exchange for an honest review. This review is spoiler-free.

Every fan of the Daevabad trilogy needs to get their hands on this collection of stories. Filling in a few gaps before, during, and after the series takes place, River of Silver is a gorgeous read that instantly reminds you exactly why the Daevabad trilogy is one of the best that modern fantasy has to offer.

One of Chakraborty's many talents is the fact that she can make you swiftly fall in love with her characters and sympathise with her villains. River of Silver helps flesh out some of the primary and secondary characters from the series, helping you to understand the actions and motivations that drive the plot of the trilogy.

I'd recommend picking this up after you finish the trilogy (and inevitably want more), as it will contain spoilers.
