The Serpent and the Swallow: A Curses of Never Prequel by R. L. Davennor
5.0
“The Serpent and the Swallow” is a prequel novella to R. L. Davennor’s Curses of Never book series, and it’s told from the POV of one of my favorite characters, Elvira Teach.
So I want to start off by saying that I highly suggest following the reading order specified by the author at the beginning of the novella.
Anyways, without giving too much away, I also wanted to say how much fun it was to get inside Elvira’s head.
She’s always been the kind of woman who attacks first and asks questions later, but I got to learn more about her thought process in this one and it was definitely enlightening!
I also really loved Elvira’s love interest, who is a new character introduced in this novella.
I don’t want to spoil too much, but I loved their chemistry, and I’m so looking forward to seeing what happens with them once book three is released.
I devoured this novella in one sitting, which just goes to show that Davennor is a fantastic writer! This was absolutely a 5 star read for me!
