The Chronicles of Ancient Darkness were some of my favourite books when I was younger and hold a nostalgic place in my heart. I found out recently there is a new trilogy in the series being released and felt a mixture of excitement and trepidation. Luckily, Viper's Daughter fits well within the series despite a few nitpicks.
The Good:
- The characters and setting we all know and love are there and have grown and changed in the couple of years since the events of Ghost Hunter.
- Both old and new settings are visited making it feel like a homecoming with the excitement of a new adventure.
- Mammoths!
- Although slight, I loved the eco elements where the main characters ensure the well-being of creatures my making sure humans cannot find them again.
- The villain is great and I loved the caveat in their creation.
What Could Have Been Better?:
- Several times the solutions to problems felt very convenient and not necessarily due to the skill or work of the characters.
- Occasionally pacing issues and certain events seemed to happen too quickly.
Overall an exciting new addition to the series and has me hyped for the rest of the new books.
