Serpentine by Laurell K. Hamilton
4.0
Solid story
I love these books, in spite of and even because of the criticism I have of the turn they’ve taken. This was one of the most compact of the recent ones, with a case that was different enough from the norm that it got interesting.
One thing about the Blake world, it’s fully realized through the characters and that’s an impressive feat. Rather than all the structure of a world, you get the whole of it through the eyes of the people who live it. Doesn’t work for every reader, but it works.
