story is pretty rough. it’s a cool idea but the execution is very average. the sense of time passing in the book is fairly vague. some of the characters are fun nothing amazing but enjoyable. most of the story is pretty standard power fantasy fair but the twist of it’s a snake is enough to make it feel fresher. the ending is pretty dumb in that the final fight is won through a means not established earlier in the book and even the characters in the book talk about how they didn’t think that it was possible. the ending left a pretty bitter taste, still it was interesting enough as a whole that I’ve already brought the next book.
