Book Overview

I had read the first two Shamer books and had been uncertain as to actually reading The Serpent Gift. I am so glad that I did. My praises and qualms: - The entrance was a little slow, but the story swiftly picked up speed. - The prose is alright -- not excellent -- and not dreadfully annoying. - The characters were interesting and decently well developed. - The story *flowed.* - Even with two view points driving the book, Kaaberbol allowed only a little repeating of the same events. - A pleasing mixture of humor and seriousness. Overall, this book is more mature and engaging than the previous Shamer books. And now I await the publication of The Shamer's War!
