Editorial Reviews

Review

"The pleasant fantasy possesses the added irony and realism one expects from Anthony."--Publishers Weekly

"A solid plot moves briskly along, in Anthony's fluent, not to say facile, style--and spiced by some genuinely frightening moments. A persuasive performance that should swell the ranks of Anthony's already huge audience."--Kirkus

This review is from: Serpent's Silver (Mass Market Paperback)

This story continues the (mis)adventures of Kelvin of Rud. As a sequel it works well by focusing on other characters for a good chunk and fleshing out the world(s) where the story takes place. There are elements of transcendence, astral travel, gigantic snakes that eat rock, freaky creatures that work magic of a totally different sort, curses, battles, and romance. Overall its a good read for a rainy afternoon when the clouds draw in thick around your world leaving the skies gray and foreboding.
