Now I have to admit that I wasn't a huge fan of the novels these graphic novels are offshoots of. They were okay, but I wasn't in love with them. However when I saw this on sitting at the library I thought I'd pick it up.
And it was okay. The story was all right, the character's didn't really look like anything I pictured them to look like, but that's not on them that's on me. I liked that it wasn't a rehash of the novels, but it's own little story. I liked it enough to read the next one, but I'm not sure if I'll finish the series in regular book form.

I loved the first book in the Faerie Path series by Frewin Jones and so when I saw this in manga form I thought I may as well try it and see if I like it. I sure liked it.
The story line was a really interesting one. I thought it was a bit slow at first but it soon got into the story and became really interesting.
I loved the illustrations. Especially of the lamia. She was really well-drawn and cool looking. Some of the illustrations of Tania weren't really to my liking though, I thought that some of the expressions on Tania's face made her look mean or angry and it didn't match the mood of the story.
Apart from this I really enjoyed The Serpent Awakes and I will definitely be reading the second book when it comes out as the ending was quite a cliffhanger.
Overall, The Serpent Awakes was quite a good graphic novel. I would recommend this one to fans of fairies, Frewin Jones and manga-style books.
