4.0

That first chapter was a bit of a rough start for me but I was hooked shortly there after. Its hard for me to put my finger on exactly what I loved about this story. I'll start with Snake and her strong lead in the story. Having no experience at a parent and honestly a lack of desire to be one I have always struggles to connect with more mature female leads. Snake was different, her strength came from her nurturing compassion. She is a healer in a world medical knowledge is limited. She uses snakes to help her patients and at the start of the story her abilities are severely hampered. She then embarks on a journey to redeem herself as a healer. Throughout her journey Snake tries to help the people she meets and though those actions we are shown a different kind of hero. One that does not need to carry a sword and slay monsters. Honestly Snake the refreshing take on female leads that I did not know I needed. I was sad when the story was over and I need more about Snake. Solid 4 out of 5 stars.
