  This book had me hooked right from the word go, and it managed to keep my interest right the way through to the end. I really enjoyed reading this book and I would definitely recommended it.

  The Serpent Warrior has a distinct audience in mind - anyone with even a passing interest in the occult would be fascinated by the setup of the story as well as the details of Kai's (the central character) disciplines, practices and rituals. But more than this, and this is where the book comes into it's own, is the heart of the story itself. The question of where we turn when all seems lost, how can we bring together the disparate parts of our lives amidst discord and disagreement about who and what we are...when we are caught in between two contradictory forces and desires. These are all issues Kai faces, and are also highly relatable situations that many of us experience. For me, this is what really brings the book to life. Of course, there is occult philosophy and practice aplently, but it actually supports and blends into the story rather than distracts from it. Kai's life reads as a single story and not two parallel threads (his occult practice and his life experience) bumping against each other. The editing is obviously very well thought out and so the balance is excellent. Besides, one cannot separate Kai from his personal philosophy and practice anymore than you can separate any character in any story from their motivations.
  
  The Serpent Warrior is a rare gem for a book that chooses an occult theme. One that keeps a compelling narrative going whilst expanding one's knowledge - and sometimes reminding the reader that it is all too easy to lose our balance, to lose our way but with humility and understanding - and facing the defeat of our best thought plans - we can return to our better selves once more. Sounds a homily -but the violence and catastrophe of Kai's times makes it so much more.
  
  As I said - this is a book with a specific audience in mind, but the central narrative is so strong that it rises above that specificity and becomes a highly relatable story for anyone with a broad frame of reference, an open mind and a love of a good tale well told.
