1 post | 1 read
The New York Times–bestselling author of Extinction continues her brilliantly original saga about the political intrigues of the serpentine yuan-ti race With his only friend dead, murdered by Sybil, mind-mage Arvin swears revenge. He sets off on a secret journey to the barony of Sespech, eager to put distance between himself and his old life in the vile City of Serpents. But even this faraway human realm crawls with the yuan-ti—and countless other dangers that regard Arvin's growing psionic powers with contempt. Among Sespech’s yuan-ti is Karell, a half-blood with a mission of her own. Her serpent’s eyes are set on Dmetrio, scion of the powerful Extaminos family. They are said to hold the fabled Circled Serpent, an ancient artifact of such immense power that it could destroy the world if it falls into the wrong hands . . .

Mehso-so

Viper's Kiss was a lot better than the first installment but the plot was extremely convoluted and outlandish, even for a fantasy novel. Again, most of the story has very little to do with Yuan-ti politics, and the information about them is peppered with really odd, shock value information. (Did not need to know intimate details about their anatony)

Doppoetry I am glad I spoiled myself on my favorite character's fate because otherwise I would be raging.

I don't even care about spoilers at this point, a pregnant half-snake woman should not be fridged to give the male MC motivation.
