Products similar to Serpent Mage - Margaret Weis

A brilliant exploration of philosophical ideals, memorable characters, funny Very talky (but it's good talky so not really a disadvantage)

Fantastic Fantasy Unimaginative people beware

Exciting! Fun! Thrilling! Monsters! Flimsy plot, bad charcaterisation, you know the drill

Nice that all the loose ends are tied up Too obvious, too pat and a very easy ending

If yo've read the first four, you're not likely to skip it. Its simply very boring

Well writing, engaging plot and thoroughly enjoyable piece of sci-fi Occasionally the perspective causes some brief confusion
