scaifea 's review for:
Dreamsnake
by Vonda N. McIntyre
A post-apocalyptic landscape, in which a healer woman and her three poisonous snakes wander the lands looking for people in need of her services. When her rare dreamsnake is killed, she must find the means to replace it and faces dangers and meets new friends along the way.
After reading the first three pages I nearly put this one down (I have a snake phobia and I didn't think I could manage an entire book in which they play such a big part and are described in such detail). I'm so glad that I decided to stick with it, because it's such an excellent read. The characters are wonderfully drawn, the world is interesting and imaginative, and the story compelling and smart. Highly recommended.
