Tom Mock and 1 other person liked Nerine Dorman's review of The Serpent's Quest (The Splintered Fool Book 1): "I can't rate this book, since I wrote it, but I can totally tell you that it's one of the best things I've worked on since pickled fish. It's got disgraced priestesses, mad gods, barbarian generals, dragons, mummies, and high adventure. "
