A cool post-apoc book with more questions left unanswered than are answered, which I think works very well here. How did the practice of using snakes to deliver healing venom start? There doesn't seem to be any industrial society, how can they be so good at genetic manipulation? Who are the off-worlders? Lovely prose, interesting world-building. Snake is also very interesting although perhaps a little too good to be true. But in general I like everything about this book.
