Explanation Supposing Books Serpent's Storm (Calliope Reaper-Jones #3)

Serpent’s Storm is the third book in the Calliope Reaper-Jones series by Amber Benson. Calliope is the reaper’s daughter. Yes, you read that correctly, she is death’s daughter. Callie might seem like she has her life under control, she has a new boyfriend and is trying to succeed in having that normal life that she desperately wants. She has been pretty successful too, that is until her older sister Thalia comes back into the picture. Thalia has made a deal with the devil that could put everything the Reaper-Jones family has worked so hard to achieve on the line. There is only one person who could go up against the devil, Thalia, and make sure her family keeps their business. Calliope thinks she can handle it all and go back to her normal life afterwards, but everything is never as easy as Calliope thinks it is.

After reading the second novel in the Calliope Reaper-Jones series, Cat’s Claw, I was a little cautious going into this one. The first two novels, while entertaining, were very formulaic which made it easy for me, as the reader, to sometimes see where things were going. I am pleased to say that this novel did not follow that same formulaic plot. Serpent’s Storm opens up with one damn good plot twist and it doesn’t let go after that. The twists and turns that this novel brings to the series are incredible. At times I wasn’t sure who to believe anymore including Calliope herself! This novel took everything that readers knew about the world and about the characters and threw it all on its head, I applaud Benson as a writer for having the courage to do that mid series.

Another thing that I love not just about this book but about the series in general is Calliope herself. Calliope is one of the greatest female main characters I have read in the Fantasy genre for the sole factor alone that she is stubborn and never changes who she is. There is something about a character who knows from the beginning who she is that is so refreshing. I personally find that, more often than not, authors believe that the main character has to go on a journey before they can truly find out who they are, they believe that the character’s journey leads them to who they are. This doesn’t always have to be the case and Benson proves that with Calliope. From day one, readers have known exactly who Calliope is and the type of person that she is, it is unshakable. No matter what situation Calliope might find herself in her morals, values, and identity are intact always. I love that! It makes every plot point and situation in each novel specific to Calliope.

Something that doesn’t get talked about enough when readers talk about the Calliope Reaper-Jones series is the world building that takes place throughout the novels but specifically in this one. Serpent’s Storm brought the world of Calliope Reaper-Jones to life in a certain way that the other two previous novels had not. What I mean by this is that before this novel, I thought I knew everything about the world and had seen everything in the world of Calliope Reaper- Jones, I was mistaken. Benson brings a whole new aspect to the world in this novel. With more at stake for the characters, there’s more at stake in the world of the characters too and Benson does a beautiful job of showing readers that.

Overall, Serpent’s Storm elevated the world of Calliope Reaper- Jones and brought it to a whole new level of fantasy that I was pleasantly surprised about. Serpent’s Storm made me excited to continue the series and to read the last two novels in the series. This series is truly for any reader who wants a down to earth, realistic even if that means stubborn, main female protagonist. I recommend this book and this series to readers who are looking for something refreshing in the Fantasy genre.

Ever get the feeling that an author is dragging a series on because readers want more, not because they had always planned to write more? That's how Serpent's Storm reads. This isn't to say it's a bad book. The prose is still fun and snappy in that Buffy way. Calliope is still the fun and flailing heroine. The plot, however, did nothing for me, really. I felt like I'd read this book before within the first two, and that's probably why, unlike the others, it took me months of sporadic reading to

Either I was asleep when I read this book, or it was just truly not that great.To be honest, I was a bit surprised at the (mostly) positive reviews I read --just trying to make sure I wasn't being a jerk in not liking it-- but then I started remembering everything that was just totally not okay with the book.First of all, children can't read this book! I really enjoyed the first book in the series. I even recommended it to my best friend knowing she would like it too!There is literally not a

In the third installment about the daughter of Death from Amber Benson Calliope Reaper-Jones is really put through the ringer. Readers not familiar with the earlier books will feel lost in Serpents Storm, as it is severely lacking in structure and logical direction, but for those who look forward to seeing what Callie is up to next, theyll enjoy this next adventure.Things certainly heat up right from the start as the book opens with a pretty graphic sex scene between Callie and her hunk she cant

My favorite book in the series is the first book,Callie has so much potential.I don't think I will read anymore of this series. Callie is a whiny selfish twenty-something.she ruined everything,I like the other characters,I even like the plot,but she is unbearable.
