The Viper’s Bloodline Awakened (The Gods’ Scion Series) by Winnifred Tataw – Review by Santana Hicks

The Viper’s Bloodline Awakened: The Fifth Book in the Urban Fantasy series The Gods’ Scion by Winnifred Tataw
My rating: 3 of 5 stars

This is the fifth book of ‘The Gods’ Scion’ series. This is not a standalone and you should read the whole series. I made that mistake and read this as a standalone and was very confused. It took me a long time to get who was who and what was going on.

After a while, I started picking up what was going on but whereas this was book 5, all of the characters were already introduced. A lot of the characters were related and their names all started with ‘R’ which made it even more hard.

The book itself was interesting. The main character is the queen who can’t trust anybody and there’s betrayal around every corner. One of the queen’s children is supposed to be next in line for the throne and everything was going well. All of a sudden, a young man shows up claiming to be the dead crowned prince’s heir, meaning he would have claim over the throne. He will stop at nothing to get it. The queen will have to try to stop him.

The book was very political with a lot going on within the family and kingdom. I’m sure if I read the rest of the series, I would have found it more enjoyable.

Full of fantasy, lore, family, betrayal and a splash of romance, there is something for everyone!
