The Viper’s Bloodline Awakened (The Gods’ Scion Series Book #5) by Winnifred Tataw – Review by Angela Hayes

The Viper’s Bloodline Awakened: The Fifth Book in the Urban Fantasy series The Gods’ Scion by Winnifred Tataw
My rating: 4 of 5 stars

3 – 3.5 Stars

“The bloodline awakens, and with it, the power to reshape destinies.”

The Viper’s Bloodline Awakened is the fifth instalment in The Gods’ Scion series by Winnifred Tataw. As this follows on from the developments in the previous four books, I highly recommend reading them before starting on this one- as there is a continuing/overarching storyline with important information which you should know in order to fully appreciate the story/instalment, and avoid feeling lost or confused in any way.
As with the other instalments in the series, this is an urban fantasy adventure with action, curses, secrets, betrayal, drama, danger, twists, emotion, sci-fi elements, gods, magic, mystery, mythology, astrology, powers, intrigue, interesting world-building, family, who to trust, doubts, conflict, mortals, agendas, high stakes, suspense, darker elements, and dynamic/complex characters.
This series gets better with each new addition, and Ms. Tataw turns up the tension here, yet again- , putting her characters, and me, through some intense developments/situations- making this instalment the best one, so far…
As I have mentioned in my reviews of the previous books, Ms. Tataw has created an intricate world with unique characters, lore, culture, and beliefs. There are magical, fantasy, and sci-fi elements, which are all woven around things we are more familiar with- which makes the story all the more believable and relatable. I also appreciated the substantial appendix/guide at the end of the book, which was full of interesting and helpful information.
Happy Reading…

Thank you, Winnifred Tataw!
