Rise of the Snake Goddess

This book had much of the same charms and flaws as the first — a fairly short and quick read that gives you a little bit of adventure but doesn't spend too long building the world or characters or themes. It seems almost formulaic how similar it was to the first book. Still, I hope there are further books in the series and that they can continue to delve deeper into the world and characters and themes, especially the history and mythology.

Yet another seemingly gratuitous death and crazy professor.
