I don’t think that reading “See? It’s not so bad… you don’t have to fly.” will never not break me. Tristan who wished to be enough for his brother, wished their life together was enough. “It’s not so bad,” he says to featherless birds, “you don’t have to fly” he tells them because he can’t say it to Sevérin.

He can’t control his brother’s actions, can’t make him stop reaching for the clouds, can’t make him see reason, but he can control the birds. He takes away a part of them, forces them to adapt to a life never meant for them, but it’s okay. They’ll learn life on land isn’t so bad. He strips them of their livelihoods, but makes them a part of the worlds he loves. Is that not love too?

When I finally write a full analysis post of the troika fire scene in The Silvered Serpents, I will be unleashing a line of thinking in my brain that is impossible to close.

Until then, accept this painful reminder that Séverin flung himself between his friends and a blazing inferno because he knew he’d failed them one last time and he couldn’t bear to see them die first.

The Gilded Wolves by Roshani Chokshi 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.

im too lazy to go back and find the number for book recs for the ask game but this is me asking for heist book recs hi hello

hell yeah. i have instantly forgotten everything i've ever read btw but here's what my brain will recall

Six of Crows, Leigh Bardugo

six criminals band together to break into the Ice Court (like breaking into the pentagon) and steal the creator of jurda parem, a drug that lets Grisha's (witches/magicians) power go full-throttle and become super dangerous. I love it soooo much, it's the first book in a duology, and it's just Neat, and i would die for Inej.

Little Thieves, Margaret Owen

This one is both a heist story and the consequences of a heist story. It has good quality heisting in it!! Summary, stolen from goodreads:

Vanja leads a lonely but lucrative double life as faux princess and jewel thief, charming nobility while emptying their coffers to fund her great escape. Then, one heist away from freedom, Vanja crosses the wrong god and is cursed to an untimely end: turning into jewels, stone by stone, for her greed.

Vanja has just two weeks to figure out how to break her curse and make her getaway. And with a feral guardian half-god, Princess Gisele's sinister fiancé, and an overeager junior detective on Vanja's tail, she'll have to pull the biggest grift yet to save her own life.

The Lies of Locke Lamora, Scott Lynch

tbh i wasn't sure if it counted, i thought it might, but it's on some goodreads heist books lists. so. I will admit that the heisting in this one is more in the first and mostly takes the form of Locke being a sly con artist bastard toward rich people, but like. I love this book. it goes on the list. (Summary also yoinked from GR.)

An orphan’s life is harsh—and often short—in the mysterious island city of Camorr. But young Locke Lamora dodges death and slavery, becoming a thief under the tutelage of a gifted con artist. As leader of the band of light-fingered brothers known as the Gentleman Bastards, Locke is soon infamous, fooling even the underworld’s most feared ruler. But in the shadows lurks someone still more ambitious and deadly. Faced with a bloody coup that threatens to destroy everyone and everything that holds meaning in his mercenary life, Locke vows to beat the enemy at his own brutal game—or die trying.

The Gilded Wolves, Roshani Chokshi

my brain melts when i think about it (/pos, dw) so i'll just put this here:

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.

The Silvered Serpents Quote!!

nothing was as sick and twisted as reading “go ahead,” he said, “call me whatever you wish, it’s impossible to be hurt by someone who’s not even real.”

Found Family: YA picks for Adult Readers

Gallant by V.E. Schwab ,Victoria Schwab, Manuel Sumberac

Olivia Prior has grown up in Merilance School for girls, and all she has of her past is her mother’s journal—which seems to unravel into madness. Then, a letter invites Olivia to come home—to Gallant. Yet when Olivia arrives, no one is expecting her. But Olivia is not about to leave the first place that feels like home, it doesn’t matter if her cousin Matthew is hostile or if she sees half-formed ghouls haunting the hallways. Olivia knows that Gallant is hiding secrets, and she is determined to uncover them. When she crosses a ruined wall at just the right moment, Olivia finds herself in a place that is Gallant—but not. The manor is crumbling, the ghouls are solid, and a mysterious figure rules over all. Now Olivia sees what has unraveled generations of her family, and where her father may have come from. Olivia has always wanted to belong somewhere, but will she take her place as a Prior, protecting our world against the Master of the House? Or will she take her place beside him?

The Raven Boys by Maggie Stiefvater

It is freezing in the churchyard, even before the dead arrive. Every year, Blue Sargent stands next to her clairvoyant mother as the soon-to-be dead walk past. Blue herself never sees them—not until this year, when a boy emerges from the dark and speaks directly to her. His name is Gansey, and Blue soon discovers that he is a rich student at Aglionby, the local private school. Blue has a policy of staying away from Aglionby boys. Known as Raven Boys, they can only mean trouble. But Blue is drawn to Gansey, in a way she can’t entirely explain. He has it all—family money, good looks, devoted friends—but he’s looking for much more than that. He is on a quest that has encompassed three other Raven Boys: Adam, the scholarship student who resents all the privilege around him; Ronan, the fierce soul who ranges from anger to despair; and Noah, the taciturn watcher of the four, who notices many things but says very little. For as long as she can remember, Blue has been warned that she will cause her true love to die. She never thought this would be a problem. But now, as her life becomes caught up in the strange and sinister world of the Raven Boys, she’s not so sure anymore.

Simon vs. the Homo Sapiens Agenda by Becky Albertalli, Mathilde Tamae-Bouhon

Sixteen-year-old and not-so-openly gay Simon Spier prefers to save his drama for the school musical. But when an email falls into the wrong hands, his secret is at risk of being thrust into the spotlight. Now Simon is actually being blackmailed: if he doesn’t play wingman for class clown Martin, his sexual identity will become everyone’s business. Worse, the privacy of Blue, the pen name of the boy he’s been emailing, will be compromised. With some messy dynamics emerging in his once tight-knit group of friends, and his email correspondence with Blue growing more flirtatious every day, Simon’s junior year has suddenly gotten all kinds of complicated. Now, change-averse Simon has to find a way to step out of his comfort zone before he’s pushed out—without alienating his friends, compromising himself, or fumbling a shot at happiness with the most confusing, adorable guy he’s never met.
