Review: In the Serpent's Wake

In the Serpent's Wake by Rachel Hartman
My rating: 4 of 5 stars

Tess has already survived an adventure, but it is not time for her to rest.  She is now on a ship with a world-changing mission, but some don’t want the mission to succeed.  The world is in turmoil and they believe that finding the World Serpent will put them on the path of peace, but what tragedies will they need to overcome to make it to their destination?

In the Serpent’s Wake is the second book in the Tess of the Road duology.  This novel picks up shortly after the last novel and Hartman has written a poem that tells readers of the main events of the first book.  This book was full of adventures with lots of side stories to keep the reader wondering where the main plot was going.  This was a very “inclusive” world and I found that at times the varied people and relationships were trying too hard.  Otherwise, it was a great second book to close out this duology.
