Helpful Score: 3

I read this book immediately after reading the first book in the series, Mistress of the Art of Death, and I was disappointed with it. Characters that I liked in the first book, Gyltha and Mansur for example, seemed wooden in The Serpent's Tale. Even the main character, Adelia, seemed to lack the fierce intensity that made her so interesting in Mistress of the Art of Death. The historical details were interesting, but it wasn't enough to make this book what it might have been.
