The second book in the Serpentwars Saga wasn't nearly as good as the first. Way too much focus on Roo, who was one of my less-liked characters from the first book. This is a setup book in the series and it shows. The whole thing could have been replaced by about a 10 page summary at the start of book 3, and I wouldn't have missed it.

This book took an annoying side character and made you understand how truly horrible snd despicable he is without any lasting consequences for the character and with the teensiest of character growth. Which is annoying because the set up is good, I'm all for a low stakes fantasy novel and dislikable main characters but not like this. You don't have to read this book to continue on with the series, and I absolutely recomend that you don't.
