Title: a low 4 stars, but a nice read
Review: This book is just slightly under the quality of Fire Rose which is set in the same 'world'. But it is not as good as the Magics *** series although it is better than Brightly Burning. The setting and concepts of Serpents Shadow and Fire Rose as retellings of classic faerie tales is nice but there were some inconsistances between the two books (two firemasters in the same house?!). It is a very nice read, light fantasy with a touch of romance, but over all this book just does not have the impact or punch of Misty's truly great books. Read it, especially if you like Misty's work. But if you are just starting to read Misty's stuff start with the Heralds of Valdemar: Magics Pawn/Promise/Price or Arrows of the Queen/Flight/Fall series - they are the best work she has done.my ratings: 1-don't bother, 2-get it from the library only, 3-read it, 4-buy it, read it, 5- a must read, BUY IT!
