A review by kabrahams
The Tropic of Serpents by Marie Brennan
2.5
*Book one spoilers*
Less dragons and more political intrigue than the first book, but still very fun. I loved seeing Lady Trent coming into her own after the tragic death of her husband and her struggle with motherhood as she prefers the life of a traveler and adventurer. Excited to continue the series.
Coming back the next day to lower my rating from 4.25 to 2.5. There were aspects of the story (colonialism and depictions of other races) that just weren't sitting right with me. Reading other reviews, I found that others shared my opinion. While well-written, this book left a bad taste in my mouth.
