The River of Silver is an excellent addition to Chakraborty’s Daevabad Trilogy, providing a delightful return to Daevabad, its inhabitants, and its expansive history. We are offered stories from the past and future, as well as alternative POVs during major book events and peeks into the characters’ lives during the time jumps present in the series. This is a must-read for any fan of the series - returning to this story felt like coming home and reminded me just how much I adore these characters and this rich, fascinating world. If nothing else, this is worth the read just to get to see the soft, tender development of my favorite pairing in the series. I am constantly amazed at how S.A. Chakraborty is able to put me through the emotional wringer, and she’s done it yet again with this collection of stories.
