Book Review: Lies On The Serpent’s Tongue

Thank the heavens because Lies on the Serpent’s Tongue did not suffer from the dreaded ‘middle book syndrome’ wherein the whole series starts to fall apart due to eye-rolling fillers. Though I have not yet posted my review for the first book, Bittersweet in the Hollow, a simple  Goodreads search would show that I gave it a 3-star rating due to issues that I just couldn’t let go.

Well, I have become a fan since reading Stardust and watching the Stardust movie and the Sandman TV show.  Can Neil Gaiman do anything wrong? Because like his other books that I have read previously, I loved this book despite the initial weirdness that I felt about it.
