Serpents of the Abyss

I'm getting the impression the short story reviews are mixed in with the longer novel which seems to be bringing the average down for this. I managed to get my hands on the full length book and haven't read the short story.

3.5 because Serpents of the Abyss is a bit diamond in the rough. There's a gem in there for sure but more editing to smooth out the story probably would have bumped this up to an easy 4.5. You can definitely see where the author decided to go in a very different direction with the story which was a smidge jarring. I was all for the change and enjoyed it but didn't see it coming.

Even though this could use a little work I wanted to immediately jump into more from this world. Continuation books were promised in the end author's note but it looks like they haven't been written yet. I'm very much looking forward to those if Sanders decides to write them.
