Viper's Kiss by Lisa Smedman

Smedman does it again! The plot here continues to follow our psion/rogue hero Arvin as he travels further in the realms, meets a new love interest, and gets significantly more powerful. There's more intrigue and suspicion here, and interesting plot twists that never seemed telegraphed to me. I liked the way Smedman follows all the rules of how things work in D&D and yet there's lots of success via being smart as well. Her new characters for this book are interesting and worth knowing more about as well.

A wonderful middle book to the House of Serpents trilogy.

Good sequel to the first one. Glad to see Arvin coming along with his psionic powers. Unfortunately, he kept on making the same mistake in this book. He definitely needs to learn more about psionic effects. Or at least be able to cancel his own powers out if need be.
