When I heard this compared to Six of Crows, I was scared. I didn't think that it was going to be able to live up to that comparison and simultaneously carve out its own path. I was happily mistaken in both. The Gilded Wolves is a heist fantasy wrapped in political intrigue, but the similarity ends there. Here we have the introduction of Forging as a means of introducing magic, a dynamic duo of history and mathematics in puzzles included in text, and the haunted atmosphere of Paris bringing more realism to the novel. No one will be surprised that I loved Zofia, but I feel as though the characters will only continue to grow in the next book.

Big fan, big fan.
