Ce que les critiques en disent

"Mercedes Lackey returns to form in The Serpent's Shadow...."This story takes place in the London of 1909, and is based on "Snow White and the Seven Dwarfs." Lackey creates echoes of Sir Arthur Conan Doyle, pays affectionate homage to Dorothy Sayers's Lord Peter Wimsey (who plays an important role under a thin disguise), and turns the dwarves into seven animal avatars who masquerade as pets of her Eurasian heroine, Maya." (Amazon.com review)

I suppose, in a way, this is a version of Snow White, but, spoiler alert, I didn't realize this until almost the end of the story. And really, this novel is so much more. I hadn't read an Elemental Master book before, and I found the characters interesting, the details of setting extraordinary and comprehensive. The plot is part Snow White and part action adventure, but recast in Edwardian England, it is a well-paced read. I particularly enjoyed the 'political' enlightenment of the main characters. Not a literary tome, but fun and engaging.

World creation with a lot of fun
