Book Review – The River of Silver by S. A. Chakraborty
The River of Silver by S. A. Chakraborty (The Daevabad Trilogy #3.5)
Synopsis
Bestselling author S. A. Chakraborty’s acclaimed Daevabad Trilogy gets expanded with this new compilation of stories from before, during, and after the events of The City of Brass, The Kingdom of Copper, and The Empire of Gold, all from the perspective of characters both beloved and hated, and even those without a voice in the novels. The River of Silver gathers material both seen and new – including a special coda fans will need to read – making this the perfect complement to those incredible novels.
A prospective new queen joins a court whose lethal history may overwhelm her own political savvy…
An imprisoned royal from a fallen dynasty and a young woman wrenched from her home cross paths in an enchanted garden…
A pair of scouts stumble upon a secret in a cursed winter wood that will turn over their world…
Now together in one place, these stories of Daevabad enrich a world already teeming with magic and wonder. From Manizheh’s first steps towards rebellion to adventures that take place after The Empire of Gold, this is a must-have collection for those who can’t get enough of Nahri, Ali, and Dara and all that unfolded around them.

Review
I received this book from the publisher via Net Galley in exchange for an honest review.
I adore this universe with my whole heart and getting to go back through these wonderful stories was just perfection. I read the original trilogy via audio, so this being released initially in audio format was perfect for me. That being said – I can’t wait to get my physical copy, which is already on pre-order!
This collection had everything I didn’t know I wanted from the Daevabad trilogy – cute stories featuring our favourites, but also the story of Nahri’s parents and an alternative epilogue that I adored. Honestly, it just made me want to pick up the trilogy and reread them AGAIN.
5 glorious stars.
