The Otacian Chronicles #2
The Sins of Silas
Passionate and Dark. Forbidden Romance. Forced Proximity. Angst.
The Otacian Chronicles is a Dark Romantasy that will progressively get darker as the series continues. Please be mindful of the content warnings.
“I felt it then…felt how her presence was nothing more than a constant tease—a reminder that he could not satiate that hunger… could not feast on what it was he truly desired.”
Five years ago, Silas La’Rune lost everything. After the deaths of his mother and Lena Daelyra, the love of his life, something in Silas changed, turning him into a cold, merciless man. His sole purpose became eradicating the kind he believed responsible for those deaths. Witches.
Silas, also known to the people of Tovagoth as “The Slayer of Witches,” ended lives without remorse. Without mercy.
Until one day, he raided a Mage village and saw her.
Turns out Lena was very much alive. Not only that, but she had hidden her identity for the entirety of their romance. She herself was a witch—a Mage.
Despite his anger and hatred for the Mages, Silas showed mercy when he met eyes with the woman he had once loved. The two joined forces, wishing to recruit allies to not only overthrow Ulric La’Rune, the King of Otacia, but to rally against the necromancer that now terrorized the land.
While hiding their history from their friends, Lena and Silas must battle their rising feelings for one another amidst their forced proximity, where every glance serves as a reminder of the many days they were tangled beneath the sheets, lost in each other’s embrace.
Silas couldn’t be with Lena, couldn’t hold her in his arms or feel her lips against his...because he was a married man now.
But despite his commitment to another, he couldn’t get his first love out of his mind.
In this thrilling sequel to The Lies of Lena, Lena Daelyra and friends travel south on the continent, fighting various foes while piecing together ancient prophecies in the hopes of finding Oquerene, a realm the seer Igon Natarion has entrusted Lena to find. This triple-POV action-packed romantasy novel is filled with romantic tension, sexy banter, and heartbreak.

Everyone said book 2 was better than book 1 and I would agree. Still don’t think it’s a series for me. Really never felt so conflicted because the storyline is so fun but I really struggle with the writing, I don’t think it’s for me 😭💔

Can I give 10 STARS ??????
🖤🖤🖤🖤🖤🖤🖤🖤🖤🖤🖤🖤🖤🖤🖤🖤🖤🖤
“I’m happy you hate me, Flower,” I murmured in her ear. “And I’m fucking glad I ruined every man for you. Now you have a taste of what I’ve felt every day for the last five years.”
🖤🖤🖤🖤🖤🖤🖤🖤🖤🖤🖤🖤🖤🖤🖤🖤🖤🖤
“You consume all of me, Lena. You are my waking thought and the final picture I see before I sleep. You are a siren that haunts my dreams. It's been that way since the moment I met you.” I sighed in defeat. “There’s not a damn second you aren’t on my mind.”
🖤🖤🖤🖤🖤🖤🖤🖤🖤🖤🖤🖤🖤🖤🖤🖤🖤🖤
“My peace of mind perished the moment I met you. You've branded my soul, marking it as yours, even after all this time.”
🖤🖤🖤🖤🖤🖤🖤🖤🖤🖤🖤🖤🖤🖤🖤🖤🖤🖤
“I am desperately in love with you, Lena.”
“It has only ever been you. No matter what I have done or who I’ve been with. It was only ever you who held my heart,”
🖤🖤🖤🖤🖤🖤🖤🖤🖤🖤🖤🖤🖤🖤🖤🖤🖤🖤
I am FLOORED by this book . Jaw dropped. Shook to my core. I wasn’t expecting to love as much as I did. I couldn’t put this beast of a book down, it’s a hook up from page 1 of book 1 to the last page of this second book.
I normally wouldn’t like other woman drama and neither other man drama but in this book is so well done and it makes so much sense to the story that it is impossible not to read it. Did I like the fact that the main couple were most of the time with other people ? HELL NO. But did make me hate the book? HELL NO again. As a matter of fact you grow to love every single fucking character in the friends group, besides for Era that little bitch 😂 I mean I was ok with her till the end when she did what she did, but you can clearly see she was being controlled. We will find out in the next book. But let me tell you about SILAS AND LENA!!!!!!!!!!!! Omg the longing, the angst, the want, the desire, the LOVE, the suffering, the sadness, the anger, the jealousy…. OMG THERE IS NOT A SINGLE EMOTION LEFT OUT BETWEEN THEM. I can’t even believe some people are in favor of Lena with Torrin ! Outlandish! SILAS AND LENA ARE EVERYTHING, END GAME, SOUL TIES ! Torrin is the absolute best and he deserves his own love, maybe I will love him and Rolland.
The amount of plot, world building, magic, found family and DRAMA/ROMANCE/SMUT in this book is the best of the bestest. The characters are so well developed that even if it wasn’t said who was talking I would be able to tell just by what they were saying. Besides Silas and Lena, Torrin and Merrik are my favorites those 2 are another level.
Silas and Lena go through SO MUCH.. it broke my heart. Silas suffering specifically BROKE ME. I understood every time he was mean or lashed out, because he was literally in hell and he didn’t deserve been lied to by Lena, even though it wasn’t in her power to do differently and she didn’t want to do it. Still from his prospective it was absolutely heartbreaking 💔😭
The events in the end …….. fuck my life that I now have to wait …….
I can’t believe I have to wait for the other book. I can’t believe I didn’t know this was a series….. I thought it was a duet. Damn me. 😫I don’t even know when the other book is coming out…… 😫😭😫😭😫😭
Regardless, if you don’t mind waiting for the next book, just RUN AND READ THIS !
🖤🖤🖤🖤🖤🖤🖤🖤🖤🖤🖤🖤🖤🖤🖤🖤🖤🖤
“How could the day be so beautiful? How could the world go on like it was nothing when she had suffered so? How was the universe itself not in mourning? The sky should be grey, rain pouring, thundering cracking as if the Gods themselves were weeping over such a loss.”
🖤🖤🖤🖤🖤🖤🖤🖤🖤🖤🖤🖤🖤🖤🖤🖤🖤🖤
“Nothing could’ve made me not love her. I loved her when we were younger. Loved her more than the air that filled my lungs. Loved her more than life itself.”
🖤🖤🖤🖤🖤🖤🖤🖤🖤🖤🖤🖤🖤🖤🖤🖤🖤🖤

2.5 stars
Guys. I wanted so badly to like this. I had high hopes after Lies of Lena, because everyone was saying that the second book is better.. It wasn't for me.
I will say, there was something in this book that made it impossible to put down. Fillllled with drama, for sure! There were moments where I did enjoy it, but then just a few pages later something would happen that made absolutely no sense and it would make me want to throw my kindle. The story definitely had potential and if it had been executed differently, I think I would've enjoyed it more. I don't want to spoil anything so I won't go into too much detail on the specifics. It just felt like a lot of the things that happened in this book were unnecessary and just kind of thrown in, and the FMC couldn't make up her mind about anything and gave me whiplash the majority of the book.
Like I said, there were moments that I did like so that's why I kept reading instead of DNFing, but yeah, it's gonna be a no from me.

Trauma. Yearning. On the edge of my seat. YEARNING. WTF I didn’t expect that. Yearning. Oh did I mention there is yearning???!!! This is one of my favourite slow burn romantic fantasy stories ever, but I will have to have WORDS with Kylie if she doesn’t give us an HEA after the amount of Kleenex I needed for this book.
Sins of Silas had me on the edge of my seat with twists, interesting magic, high stakes plot, and OH MY WORD THE 🌶️🌶️🌶️🌶️.
I am foaming at the mouth for the next book!!!!!

How do I give this book 6⭐️???!??!! I’m losing my mind!
Finishing this book, I felt the exact same way I did after ACOMAF. This one wrecked me just the same. What was that???
This book… ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
I NEED the third book right now 😭😭😭
Both books are such an immersive journey, this one had EVERYTHING! The plot twists at the end… every detail tied together perfectly... DROP EVERYTHING, get the series.

I need someone to debrief the ending with! I have so many theories to unpack, would love to hear your thoughts 🥰 **MAJOR SPOILERS**
Re-cap of the gods/goddess & who they might be ⬇️
Gods & Goddesses
Ravaiana - The goddess of life
Power: unknown
*pg 735 Ravaianas daughter (theory: Kayin) will sacrifice it all so her son may be reborn (theory: Silas). He shall dictate the fate of the world
Pg 598 Kayin approaching warlocks when pregnant with Silas for help…the justification was “Ravaiana demands it”
Valor - The god of death
Power: Shadow manipulation
Animal: owl
*fell in love with a mortal woman and their child is the God of Deceit (Ulric 👑)
Tithara- The goddess of wisdom
Power: Alter time
Azrae - The god of vengeance/justice/balance
*banished Valor the God of Death when he found out he had a child
*Daughter is Goddess of Purification (Confirmed: Lena)
Power: white flame
Celluna - the goddess of love
Power: bond souls (soul ties)
“Only after the sin of death (Valor) will four new gods rise”
1. The god of Deceit
animal: spider 🕷️
Ulric the evil King (confirmed)
2. The goddess of sacrifice
animal: pelican 🐦
Kayin/Ryia the queen (theory)
3. The god of rebirth
animal: phoenix 🔥
Salis (theory)
4. The goddess of purification
Animal: white raven
Lena (confirmed)
Quotes to support theory
1. “the goddess of sacrifice protects the god of rebirth (theory: Silas) and goddess of purification (theory: Lena).” Or could this be referencing Silas and his sister Aria?
2. painting name in Castle: Rebirth - death by a lovers fire. Sister painting commissioned: Purification - the rise of the phoenix. It was discussed that they were both commissioned by the Queens dad… which the vision confirms Ryias (kayins) dad is Igon … Ramiel was her dad while she had her secret identity… was this Igons secret identity or another person?
3. pg 324 “death by a lovers fire (Lena’s fake fire death), the rise of the phoenix (Silas). Only through fire (Lena) can the phoenix be reborn (Silas). Or this may be a future event ?
4. pg 574 purification (Lena) will ensure balance, just as her father has (Azrae)
5. pg 598 Igon was Kayins/Ryias/queens father. Making Kayin Silas mother
6. Ryia/Kayin insisted that Silas was Ulrics son, if they both have magic and are gods surely that makes Silas magic/ A god? From my understanding he won’t be able to access his magic until he is “reborn” as he is the god of rebirth
7. It was also referenced that the god or purification (Lena) and rebirth (Silas) were destined to have children that would be called “travellers” and could move between realms. Pg 570 “Rebirth and Purification will fuse, thus creating the first-ever Realm Travelers,”. Pg 694 ““You think Purification and Rebirth will birth a child? Can Gods even do such a thing with one another?”

👨👧 Characters
Let me tell you, these characters are EVERYTHING. The depth, the pain, the trauma, it all hits like a freight train. Every single one of them goes through so much, and you’ll feel every ounce of it. The found family dynamic? PHENOMENAL. It’s the kind of heartwarming, soul-crushing magic that stays with you forever.
Poor Lena. My girl goes through the absolute ringer, and my heart broke into a million pieces for her. She’s flawed and messy but so beautifully human. I rooted for her with everything I had. JUST GIVE HER SOME HAPPINESS, PLEASE!
And Silas? OOF. This man. I didn’t know whether I wanted to kiss him or throw him into a wall (maybe both?). He’s a bundle of trauma, longing, and bad decisions, and somehow you’ll understand every single one. Even when he makes you want to scream, you’ll feel his pain deep in your bones.
And the rest of the cast? ABSOLUTELY PERFECT. Every character brings something to the table, and when anything happened to any of them, I felt it like a punch to the gut. By the end, I didn’t want to let them go.
🌎 World-Building & Magic
This world? EPIC. Think Throne of Glass vibes, but with its own fresh and unique twists. Witches, mages, meddling gods, necromancers, it’s all here, and it’s all incredible.
But the magic system? NEXT LEVEL. Every power is tied to the characters’ emotions and pasts, and it’s done so beautifully. The twists and Easter eggs scattered throughout had me gasping. By the end, everything clicks into place, and it’s pure brilliance.
♥️ What I Loved
I didn’t think book two could top book one. BUT IT DID. AND THEN SOME.
I devoured this beast of a book in under 48 hours because I COULDN’T STOP. The emotional and physical trauma? Gut-wrenching. The pining and tension? UNREAL. And the spice? OH MY GOD. Let’s just say it’s chef’s kiss perfection.
This book didn’t just break the rules of fantasy romance, it smashed them into a million pieces and set the tropes on fire. Tropes I thought I hated? Turns out, I just hadn’t seen them done this well. Even without the spice, this story would shine. But with it? PERFECTION.
💔 What I Didn’t Like
Honestly? Not much. Sure, it could use a bit more editing, but for a tiny indie author, that’s easy to overlook.
📝 Overall Thoughts
WHAT ARE YOU STILL DOING HERE? STOP READING THIS AND GO READ THE BOOK.
It’s emotional, raw, and completely unforgettable. You’ll laugh, cry, scream, and fall absolutely head over heels for this story. GO. READ. IT. NOW. You can thank me later.

♾️♾️♾️ | 6 ⭐️, whatever you want to call it. THIS WILL GO DOWN AS A FAVORITE SERIES OF ALL TIME FOR ME. As a lover of both romance & fantasy... this series was the perfect combination of BOTH!
I am blown away. I am quite literally speechless.
The plot
The romance
The betrayal
The pain
The angst
THE YEARNING
The toxicity
The twists
The turns
THE STORY UNRAVELING
I can't put into words how blown away I am at this writing. It's STUNNING. It's so well done and how everything comes together blew my mind. I had some theories. Some of them were right, but man once it all unravels I was simply blown away. I cried, I laughed.. I felt it all.
I can't remember the last time I have read a series and loved every character, MAIN & SIDE!! So many lovable characters & I am legit attached to all of them. The way Kylie Snow went into past & then present took me on a roller coaster of emotions and I need book 3 like I need air to survive, ok?
BLOWN AWAY, STANDING OVATION. READ THIS SERIES immediately.
“I believe in you. Calm the flames.”
I am blown away. I am quite literally speechless.
The plot
The romance
The betrayal
The pain
The angst
THE YEARNING
The toxicity
The twists
The turns
THE STORY UNRAVELING

Where do I even begin. 6⭐️ I haven’t felt this way about a book in so so long. There is plenty of action, twists, romance, trauma, heartache, yearning and humor. I cant even tell you one thing I did not like. The characters that you think you hate you end up feeling for, or the situations that you don’t want to happen actually change your mind. I have never felt so many conflicting emotions during one book!! I loved it so much.

Dnf 44% I can’t deal with lena falling in love with all her male friends like it’s giving me whiplash and just cheapening her soul bond with Silas. Like she turned down merrik and had a relationship with Silas then a fling with torrin and then Roland.
This pissed me off…
…………………………………………
“I wasn’t lying when I said that I love you, Torrin,” I insisted. “I haven’t been able to even look at another, except for you. I…I always looked at you.” Once upon a time, I had felt guilty for my attraction to him. But even that first moment when he held my arms, arresting me in Otacia, I believed him to be handsome.
“If I had the power, I would make you my Soul-Tie. I would,” my voice cracked, and Torrin’s surprised eyes found mine. “I’ve always felt so comfortable with you. You have been there through everything. You’ve saved me from every obstacle, saved me from myself.” I held his face again. “I can’t imagine my life without you, Torrin.”
…………………………..
This was shocking to me like everything in book one was ruined for me. Her and Silas are forever ruined for me. There’s no coming back from that confession unless Silas isn’t who she ends up with? But I can’t even continue. It was bad enough reading about her fling with Roland while still crying about loving Silas but then to learn about her history with torrin and have her say those things I was disgusted and it spoiled the series for me. I can’t remember ever being this pissed off at a book and I loved the first book but now I can’t even appreciate it because their relationship is ruined for me. The most unromantic soulmates book I’ve ever read. Every single person is messy and they all are sleeping with each other while being in love with others and it’s too damn much
Rant over I feel a little better 🫶🏻✨🌺🧚🏻🤭😘

Kylie did it again. 6 STARS, THIS BOOK WAS SO GOOD I COULD NOT PUT IT DOWN! Also, that ending RIPPED MY DAMN HEART OUT.
Thank you Kylie for the ARC, I am so honored to be a part of your street team, because you are so damn talented.
This book sucked me in completely. The world, the characters, and the YEARNING. This book is a bit darker than book 1, but it made the story even more incredible. Lena, Silas, Roland, Merrick, and the lot, are such lovable characters. I had an incredible time with this book (especially considering how long it is), I am SO sad to have to wait for book 3.
This series is literally perfect to me, and this second book has made this a God Tier Romantasy for me. I hope this gets so much traction because it deserves it.
10/10, the character development, plot, and dialogue made this book a standout of the year. Again- 6 fucking stars. ⭐️

They’re truly isn’t enough stars for how much I loved this book…..
I genuinely don’t even have the words yet to write a full review because this book changed my brain chemistry. I finished it and just sat there, staring into space, trying to process what I had just experienced. The fact that I somehow managed to finish this 800 page book in under three days speaks volumes.
I need time to decompress, to breathe, to recover. A fucking masterpiece and now my all-time favorite fantasy, and I will never be the same again.

The Sins of Silas has left me absolutely speechless and unable to think about anything else for the last 48 hours. There are not enough stars on this planet to accurately rate this book. Kylie truly did the whole thing with this one. Not only was this my favorite read of the year, but it’s also now my top book EVER. An incredible balance of fantasy, dark themes, trauma, and romance.
This book picks up right where book one, The Lies of Lena, leaves off. We follow a group of characters on their journey across continent to gain allies and learn information on how to defeat the greater evil that is plaguing the world. The story is filled with action, adventure, battles, pain, trauma, laughs, found family, love, and spice. We learn so much more about the magic system, the world, a prophecy, and the characters.
The storytelling in this book is truly beautiful. Kylie’s ability to hook you from chapter one is unmatched. She did it with The Lies of Lena and she has done it again with the Sins of Silas. The pacing of this book was perfect, no parts feeling drawn out or rushed. The level of plotting is second to none. She has this ability to give you just enough information and place easter eggs along the way that have you theorizing like a mad person 😈. All I’m going to say is pay attention. Kylie’s story is unrivaled, different, and honestly a breath of fresh air coming from someone who reads A LOT of fantasy. However, to really get my point across in the most respectful way possible, the storytelling is SJM level... I’m talking Empire of Storms and Kingdom of Ash level plotting, character development, reveals, and emotional impact. Those are some big words, I know. I MEAN IT.
Speaking of character development and emotional impact… They were my favorite part about this book. We follow a number of characters (I’m talking double digits) and they are all so unique. Each has their own personality, banter style, problem solving methods, trauma, emotional intelligence, and healing journey. They are so distinct that I would know who was speaking even if Kylie didn’t tell us. That is a rare talent in an author and made this story that much more fun. I felt SO connected to all these characters that it seemed like I was going through the story with them, as if I was feeling everything that they were feeling. Happiness, sadness, grief, pain, anger, confusion, love, hate, ALL OF THE THINGS. It was truly an emotional rollercoaster. The character arcs specifically with Lena and Silas were incredible. These two have been through the wringer to say the least. There is so much they must work through. We see some of that work done in this book, and it is both heartwarming and heartbreaking at the same time. And yes, that is possible.
The last thing I’ll mention is the SPICE 🌶️🌶️🌶️. I am still over here blushing thinking about the spicy scenes in this book. They were HOT and DELICIOUS, but also didn’t overshadow the story which I appreciate. All I’m saying is who’s going to the fair with me because I need some cotton candy ASAP. Also the MMF scene, YES PLEASE 🤭 So tasteful yet feral, and I was here for it.
When it comes down to it, I cannot say enough about how incredible I think Kylie is. Her writing is captivating, the characters are relatable, and the story is unparalleled. She deserves all of the hype and I will continue to share her work until I’m blue in the face and she gets the recognition deserved. Thank you for bringing us another amazing story. I cannot wait for the next installment in the Otacian Chronicles!!

I need 3-5 business days to recover before I can write a review. But that was one of the best books I’ve ever read…… I’m in shock
All I know for sure is…. ♾️⭐️
_____________________ 3 days later (SpongeBob voice)
YEP, ITS STILL ♾️⭐️ !!!!
The Sins of Silas was one of the most twisty, unique, unpredictable, & addicting romantasy books I have ever read.
The found family is one of my favorites OF ALL TIME. The depth of the characters & their traumas, THE ROMANCE!!!???? Like I’m sorry but I’m actually obsessed with every single one of them & all of the side couples. The spice is SPICINNNGGGGGG & it’s actually so good I was straight up blushing many times. Lena can get it. (Literally all of them can)
The plot was truly mindblowing. The reveals at the end had me squealing in public and absolutely freaking out. The sign of an amazing romantasy is when I cannot stop coming up with theories & ideas in my head for days afterwards. And that’s how I’m still feeling.
There aren’t enough stars in the world or positive words in the English dictionary. I am obsessed, fully. This will go down as one of my favorite romantasy series of all time. People will be so sick of me talking about it, but I can’t let it go.
JUST READ THIS NOW OKAY????? ITS SO LIFECHANGING
(Trigger warnings: sexual assault, death, grief, miscarriage, death of a child, torture)

Okey…. Nuo ko pradėti? Pas manęs dabar pilna emocijų, kur nežinau net ką su jomis daryti 😁 Tiesiog 💯 Paskutiniai 40psl serviravo vieną bombą po kitos 💣🧨 Esu šokiruota, susinervinusi ir dar pikta po išdavystės, kur tikrai nesitikėjau iš to veikėjo visiškai 🫣
Galvoje laaaabai daug klausimų ir gaila, kad atsakymų dar teks palaukti 😬
Labai lauksiu 3 dalies, visų atsakymų ir tyliai tikėsiuosi KITOKIO end-game, labai nenoriu to, link kur čia ir buvo viskas einama😁😁😁

ALL. THE. STARS.
I keep typing and deleting because I just cannot.
This book was everything I wanted it to be. I cried, I smiled, I blushed, I screamed and I cried some more.
The emotions this series pulled out of me. I felt everything!!!!
IT WAS SO GOOD 🙌🏼
I went between not being able to put it down to not wanting to read anymore so I could savor it.
I knew I would be left hanging, but what was that????
So much happened towards the end! Wonderful and terrible things!
Now what? I'm just expected to move on as if this series didn't engrave itself onto my very soul?

I loved book one. I just didn't like how messy this was. Everyone was either sleeping with eachother, in love with someone else or had a past with them. I don't like cheating on the FMC in books. Silas and Lena are too messy for me, I would have walked away. I hate reading about fmc who get treated like shit and just carry on like it's ok. I wanted her to be with anyone but Silas, soul tie or not. Lena needs some self worth and self respect. I knew there was cheating but I didn't realise it was on the FMC and Silas would continue to be with his wife after he realised he was still in love with Lena 🤮. That would put any girl off.
I liked Roland until I knew he had a past with Silas. I even liked him, Lena and Torrin together. I mean for god sake can't she just have fun with someone no strings attached without it being too deep. Torrin was everything and they should have just gone for it. Soul tie be dammed, break the thing. I've read so many books where the MMC treated the FMC like rubbish but I could look past it, forgive. Sometimes not forget but I was content with it. I just couldn't here, it was messy and gave me the ick so bad.
I won't be continuing this series. The dynamic between everyone's relationship made me uncomfortable.

I devoured this almost 800 paged book in 2 days. I NEVER do that. I read this in the car, while drinking coffee, basically every waking moment of free time I had I was reading this book.
I’m not even exaggerating when I say this series may have been the best books I have ever read in my entire life. I actually felt physical pain from these books, I could feel the pain all the characters suffered. The ending had me sobbing and my heart hurting. I will not accept the ending, i don’t know how I will be able to wait till fall for the third book. I think this book will live rent-free in my head forever. I am OBSESSED.

I am still in complete & utter shock. A little speechless, & a lot nauseous.
Holy shit this book absolutely destroyed me & completely altered my brain chemistry.
In my personal opinion, one of the most underrated/under appreciated series. This book has HANDS DOWN, the best found family i’ve ever read!!! I got so incredibly attached to every. single. character in this friend group & all their relationships. I felt all of their emotions so deeply in my freaking soul.
The dramaaaaa in this book had me hooked. It was so so addicting. I also felt like the plot really picked up in this book & I was incredibly interested in piecing everything together (well, trying to lol)
Lena & Silas are END GAME. IM TELLING YOU RIGHT NOWWWW. I love them so freaking much together. Red flags? Don’t see them.
We got to see a lot deeper into his past & his relationship with his father in this book & OOOF. I felt so sick to my stomach, my heart breaks for him so badly.
I swear I got whiplash the last 20% of the book. I sobbed harder than I’ve ever sobbed reading a book before. KYLIE… RUDE😭😭😂😭 No bc Lena’s revenge arc… be prepared bc she is THAT BITCH.
“I will not break.”

Asmeniškai knygoje man buvo per daug spice, o dar visi tie meilės trikampiai... ar tiksliau, meilės penkiakampiai? Bardakas totalus, o dar neištikimybės momentas 🫠
Pirmoje dalyje rašymo stilius man tiko, bet čia vietomis jau varčiau akis, pvz., scena su mobiliuoju telefonu pasirodė gana absurdiška knygos kontekste.
Bet tada – pabaiga. Tie paskutiniai 12 %? KAŽKAS. Viskas sprogo, emocijos, veiksmas, drama – buvau prikaustyta iki paskutinio puslapio 🤯
Torrin, beje, absoliučiai geriausias veikėjas 🫶🏻
3,75 ⭐️

‘You will not give up. You will not break.’
Reading this book felt like going for a ride on the waltzes.
What to expect;
Brooding MMC
Powerful FMC
A whole lot of pain and trauma
Multiple plot twists
Fated mates
Forbidden relationships
Steamy spice
Engaging world building
Rating 3.5 stars.
So, we pick up right where we left off and there is literally so much happening as we follow this journey. We also go over some of the events of the 5 year time jump in book 1. Again, this book was so fast paced & binge worthy!
Lena: Gosh did she go through it. She is so resilient and brings badass energy.
‘I remembered the night I got my fire.’
Ugh, my heart hurts for her.
Silas: This man! I loved jealous brooding Silas!
I had a feeling we would delve into his past more in this book and wow, that hurt. He’s such a broken soul.
‘Those moments with you are the only beautiful memories I have.’
Then the chemistry and the yearning between our MCs, I love it when tension is done well!!
But that ending for these guys. Erm excuse me, what?!?
The found family in this book is done so well.
The issue for me is that sometimes I felt like we almost zoomed by some things too quickly, that I would have loved to explored more and gotten a bit more depth to. Therefore at times I didn’t feel fully connected to the writing.
So although I ate this up, I don’t know, something just didn’t connect fully for me. My rating mostly reflects the connection I felt to the characters and the fact the entertainment vibes were there.
I will definitely continue this series. I’d also recommend giving this a go if you’re a romantasy lover but I personally don't see the 5 star hype.
Please check your triggers.
Quotes

6 FUCKING STARS. I haven’t felt this way about a fantasy series in so long. The romance, the plot, the yearning, the TWISTS. This was literally nonstop from the very first page. The world expanded so much and the relationships between the characters are so intricate and multifaceted. Truly incredible.
Lena is a wonderful FMC, and probably one of my all time favorites now. I love how she’s a flawed character—it honestly makes her so real. She’s such a badass—she’s strong, brave, and powerful, yet still kind and feels everything so deeply. She is a feminine rage icon and a force to be reckoned with.
Silas had my heart BREAKING in this book. We learn so many things about his backstory that explain how he became who he is in the present day. This man has been through so much and is so deeply complicated. I LOVE HIM!!!
I think this book really shined with the side characters. The found family in this is wonderful. The banter with Roland had me giggling, Torrin’s unconditional love had me emotional. You can tell the author put a lot of effort into giving each side character their own personality and story—everyone is multidimensional, and it makes for some truly complex relationships.
The intricate world Kylie has woven with this series is truly magical. I love the magic system in this world and think it’s so unique. I mean, the way mages get elemental powers had me SOBBING!! And I definitely felt like the magic system evolved in this book. There’s so many moving pieces, and I truly had no idea what was going to happen next. The writing really immerses you in the story fully.
I feel like I can’t say much without spoiling anything but I am SICK. I want to scream, cry, throw up, and throw the book across the room but it was so good. I will not be okay until the next book. This book had so many revelations but introduced so many more questions.

I think this book really shined with the side characters. The found family in this is wonderful. The banter with Roland had me giggling, Torrin’s unconditional love had me emotional. You can tell the author put a lot of effort into giving each side character their own personality and story—everyone is multidimensional, and it makes for some truly complex relationships.
The intricate world Kylie has woven with this series is truly magical. I love the magic system in this world and think it’s so unique. I mean, the way mages get elemental powers had me SOBBING!! And I definitely felt like the magic system evolved in this book. There’s so many moving pieces, and I truly had no idea what was going to happen next. The writing really immerses you in the story fully.
I feel like I can’t say much without spoiling anything but I am SICK. I want to scream, cry, throw up, and throw the book across the room but it was so good. I will not be okay until the next book. This book had so many revelations but introduced so many more questions.
January 12, 2026
Crying, screaming, throwing up!
First off, THE DRAMA! It was so messy and I loved every minute of it.
I couldn't put this book down. I lost sleep and stayed thinking about it until I was finished. Actually no, I think about it often still.
It was absolutely one of my favorite reads of 2025!
Tension, angst, yearning, and SPICE. Whew!
It had everything that made me stay up late, wanting to know what happens next and how this would all play out.
The prophecy, whaaaat! I knew Lena would be a badass FMC.
Ulric, I can't even voice how much I hate that POS.
My poor Silas 😭 I broke. I love him fiercely. He has so much depth to his character and his character development is just chef's kiss.
WHAT A TREAT THAT ONE SCENE WAS. Holy hotness 🔥 Iykyk!
My emotions were all over while reading this book. I felt everything the characters felt. I loved having multiple POVs because it made me connect with them more.
The tropes were done so incredibly well. Some of my all-time favorites.
I loved some characters fiercely and felt immense hate for others. I love a great book that makes me feel everything.
I can't wait to dive back into this world and read about the characters again.
Hands down one of my all time favorite fantasy series.

This book was EVERYTHINNNNGGG. Oh. my. god. I knew from the very beginning this was going to be at least a 5 star read. It gave me everything I wanted and more—action, romance, YEARNING, TENSION, plot twists, humor, grief, heartbreak, trauma… it had it ALL. This book consumed my every thought for the last 3 days and I never wanted it to end. And when it did… that ending 😭😭😭 I was shattered in the best way.
When I tell you I had SO much fun reading this—I mean it. It’s absolutely one of my favorite books I’ve ever read. This is the perfect example of “the second book is even better.” The Sins of Silas gives Throne of Glass but darker and spicier (and yes—definitely more than book one, but in the BEST way possible). I literally cried from the prologue. Kylie Snow came out SWINGING with this one, and the same magnetic pull I felt at the end of book one was multiplied by ten here.
THE YEARNING. On top of yearning. On top of MORE yearning. The angst and tension were PERFECTION—I was kicking my feet, screaming, and crying all in the same chapter. And then there’s Silas… who is now officially one of my top book boyfriends.
OH. MY. GOD. This morally gray man absolutely destroyed me in the BEST way possible 😭🔥 He’s dark, complicated, infuriating, magnetic, and yet somehow still makes you want to throw yourself at him even when you know you shouldn’t. Omg and his tattoos 😍😍 The push and pull, the tension, the ache—it’s the kind of romance that wrecks you and heals you all at once.
But it wasn’t just Silas—I love all the characters so much. The messy, complicated relationships, the humor, the heartbreak—it all felt real. The magic system is fascinating, and I actually care about these characters so deeply. Yes, there are multiple love interests, but the chemistry is undeniable and it never once felt like spice for the sake of spice. Instead, every connection mattered, and it made it nearly impossible to know who to root for because they’re (almost) all so lovable.
And let me just say—I think Kylie Snow did a really good job with the world-building. She layered it seamlessly into the story instead of dumping 200 pages of information at the start like some authors do. It was fast, easy to get into, and so immersive that I felt instantly hooked.
This triple-POV action-packed romantasy is filled with romantic tension, sexy banter, and heartbreak, and it kept me hooked from start to finish.
And when I say this is like a dark TOG vibes, I mean it—the vibes, the knot in your stomach, the reader’s high, the all consuming “I physically cannot get enough” feeling. This book had me in a chokehold and I already want to dive back in.
An absolute masterpiece. 10/10. Top tier. Top shelf. I need the next book like I need air.

-chapter 46
I don’t even know how to review this. I’m speechless. It’s like a darker, spicier version of Throne of Glass. I also don’t want to give any little thing away because it’s just so much wilder if you go into it blind.
It’s an experience. It’s a rollercoaster ride that will beat the crap out of you while still giving you the thrill and excitement and butterflies before going off the rails.

Even the characters, the depth and emotion she writes just makes you love them even more and become deeply invested in their story. I need novellas and extra POVs for all of them, please and thank you 😂

If you love emotionally traumatizing, dark romantasies with quests and breadcrumbs and long trigger warning lists, this is your book.

Needless to say… I. AM. OBSESSED. Naturally. I screamed, I took stress walks, I threw my kindle, I stared at the wall. And it was awesome. Thanks to everyone who has held my hand during this time.
I will be stalking Kylie’s page for any little crumbs like the addict that I am.

Some books steal your heart — this one shattered it and rebuilt it in flames.
Where do I even start?
The Sins of Silas completely consumed me. After the first book, I didn’t think the series could get better — but I was wrong. The journey is full of heartache, passion, and redemption. The romance is raw, explosive, spicy, and the twists keep you up reading all night.
The emotional stakes are high, and the plot never slows down. Just when you think all is lost, the story pulls you back in with hope, reminding you that even in the darkest moments, there’s always a spark to fight for.
And after nearly 800 pages, it still wasn’t enough. I’m dying for the next book, but of course, it’s not out yet. I’ll be waiting (impatiently) for it to be released.
This book took everything I loved about the first and cranked it up to a whole new level. If you haven’t started this series yet, DO IT NOW. You’ll be hooked from the first page.
