Welcome to Litsy!

This was very similar to the first. The plot meandered and repeated itself with MC losing the McGuffin and then finding it only to lose it again, and finally having it back. This installment focused heavily on MC retrieving his FLI and his children from a pocket domain of a snake god. While the descriptions of the domain were interesting, this has little to do with why I began to read these books in the first place.

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)

Unfortunately this was very boring and unengaging. This didn't focus much on political intrigue as much as MC meandering through the barely perceivable plot that poorly connects the yuan-ti to it. There is an attempt at character development but MC is just too rigid to change much.

I will continue the series to see if it gets better but I have little hope for that

The writing and dialogue felt stilted in parts and the narrator barrelled through the book as if he was in a rush. There was a good discussion about Nature vs Nurture and the definition of evil etc which i found interesting. Although the shady caravan leader suddenly growing a conscience felt off.

An author I will be eternally grateful to is R. A. Salvatore, since he was indirectly responsible for me meeting the wonderful @Branwen 😊 I was reading “Sojourn” and posting updates about it on Goodreads, and Branwen began commenting on my updates. We became friends there and began talking to each other about books and many other things, and that ultimately led to her becoming one of my greatest friends ever!😀

Great second book I‘m really enjoying this series and have to read the next book

I love when you reread a book and you enjoy it just as much as you did the first time. Really enjoyed reading about Drizzt again and his beginning … now I‘m on to books 3-6 🤗📚

I‘m having problems reading book on my tbr (interest is not there) so I‘m going to reread this so maybe I can just enjoy reading again… when you read authors were the writing just flows it‘s hard to get into some books so I‘m trying to adjust my perspective a little

I am so stoked to start this tomorrow 🙌

There were some genuinely good moments in this book, but on the other hand, there were so many toxic male fantasy tropes.

MC being afflicted by madness was fun for a while until it was just taking too long to cure and I got sick of being hammered over the head of how everything he perceived was fake.

I could have also gone without the martial rape garbage.
