The Serpent, David Drake

Tuesday, 20 August 2024

I finished _The Serpent_ today, when I should have been preparing
supper.

The artifact with the serpent on it turned out to have nothing to do
with serpents, and I didn't see any anywhere else.

And it had very little to do with the plot, though it *was* very
valuable.

For that matter, there was no overall plot, just a bunch of
interlocking incidents.  Which miraculously end with Pal still alive.

It's a pity that there will be no more incidents.
