The Serpent by Jane Gaskell

4.0

This was a used bookstore find that i decided to grab a bunch of old books and read them. This was the first book i decided to read. This was written in the 60s and the 60s culture is some what present in this fiction fantasy. I quite enjoy this book due to the realistic relationships. This is no romance novel. To me every character has good sides and bad sides. The main character Cija is naive and bratty at first which gets her in a lot of trouble. The world hardens her as the book progresses and she tends to trudge through the terrible world she lives in like a champ. I did however was surprise for a book written the 60s to have a transgender character. That character was also the most likable one and pure in my opinion. It did have its annoying parts and its eye rolling parts. Overall it was an entertaining read.
