Book Reviews of The Silver Serpent
Book Review: A very enjoyable book
Summary: 4 Stars
First of all, it is only fair that you should know I'm a very biased reader. I'm very hesitant to try new authors, and I'm more apt to re-read rather then make a new perchase.
With that said, I am very glad that I was able to pick up an advanced copy of The Silver Serpent.
The back cover description gives you a pretty good idea of what to expect, but at the same time there is one thing that I didn't take from it; That even as male reader who usually sticks to books with a male protaganists, I can still relate to a female Hero.
The story begins with Shanis, a young strong-willed woman, that is trying to find her place in the world. Actually, maybe it would be better to say she is fighting to make a place for herself in a world that has already chosen who she should be. The silver serpent at its core is the classic tale of an epic quest.
Before you run away screaming in terror at the prospect of another fantasy story with a quest, let me explain. This story is about people, just like anyone else, that are trying to figure things out about themselves and the world around them. As the story is told the characters begin to take shape and grow into new and complex individuals, and through all the trials and tribulations they learn who they really are. That, for me at least, was the central idea of The Silver Serpent.
The story is told with a very quick pace, the fight scenes are enjoyable, there were several surpises thrown in there, and all in all it was a fun book which I very much enjoyed reading.
