This series has been an easy read and I generally enjoy all of the characters. Thus far, this book has kept my attention the least in the series but I’m enjoying the layering of different magical creatures with each book.

I really like this series and this book was just as good as the previous ones. The Serpent's Fury follows Rowan and the rest of the characters as they go back to the cabin where they trapped some dropbears in book 2 and try and figure out what's causing the dropbears to move somewhere they usually aren't.
I really enjoyed this book, with how Rowan and the rest have a clear goal from the start and encounter many obstacles on their investigation. This book was so much fun to read, I liked reading about the monsters and seeing how Rowan dealt with everything. She's a great main character and I like how she deals with things, she feels mature for her age and handles the responsibility well, but also makes some mistakes at times and then aims to correct those. I enjoy seeing her learn and adapt along the way and her bond with the monsters she encountered.
I liked the new monsters the characters encounter in this book and the serpent that is referred to in the title was awesome to meet. I also liked seeing more of Rowan, Dain and the rest and the monsters they travel with. There are new monsters and new characters as well in this book. The ending sets things up for the next book, while also wrapping up this book's adventure in a satisfying way.
To summarize: This was another great book in this series. I really like this author's writing style and this series is just so fun to read. Rowan and the others investigate what's causing monsters to move to places they usually aren't seen and along the way they meet new characters and monsters. I like reading about Rowan and how she deals with everything on her path. There are some exciting new monsters in this book and the book is just a whole lot of fun to read. I am already looking forward to the next book!

I enjoyed the book. Granted, I am not the intended audience, but I still like Rowan’s narration. That being said, it is my least favourite of the three so far. I felt like it took a while to grip me this time around, and I probably wouldn’t have continued with it had I not already been a fan of the author. I’m glad I did stick with it though because it did pick up towards the end and I liked it. Looking forward to book four!

Just as I complain about a lack of dragons, there they are with a killer introduction and original abilities. Slap that alongside Armstrong's amazing writing and the blatantly terrifying descriptions of harpies, it was easy to get into this book. It does read a bit like a novel of side quests though - yes they're all connected but what a way to get there. I would say that I find Rowan almost too naïve considering this is the third book in the series with betrayal being a major theme. I don't see her having a lot of character development socially though her strategic abilities are greatly improved. I'd like to think that this book can be read alone with its ample descriptions of past events, but I've read the entire series and I've loved the entire series so I'm not the best judge.

I freaking love Kelley Armstrong, she is awesome!
This series is great, I hope there are at least a few more books because I feel that Rowan, Dain, and the rest of the monster hunting crew have so many more monsters to find and learn about.
I highly recommend this series whenever I am asked for a recommendation at work. Can't wait for more books from Kelley.
