In the Serpent's Wake by Rachel Hartman

In the Serpent's Wake

by Rachel Hartman

From the critically acclaimed and bestselling author of Seraphina comes a piercing new fantasy adventure that champions our resilience and humility.

MIND OF THE WORLD,
OPEN YOUR EYES.
 
At the bottom of the world lies a Serpent, the last of its kind.
Finding the Serpent will change lives.
 
Tess is a girl on a mission to save a friend.
Spira is a dragon seeking a new identity.
Marga is an explorer staking her claim on a man’s world.
Jacomo is a priest searching for his soul.
 
There are those who would give their lives to keep it hidden.
And those who would destroy it.
 
But the only people who will truly find the Serpent are those who have awakened to the world around them—with eyes open to the wondrous, the terrible, and the just.

I felt this deviated too far from what I loved about Tess of the Road which was the people and creatures learning from each other. This was too much about the world and the wrongs done to the native populations. It's also possible that it's been so long that I've outgrown this world. Either way, I was disappointed when I finished.

I received a copy of this book from the publisher in exchange for an honest review.
