Every time I read a Nyla K book I find I need time to process everything before I can wrap my head around everything that happened and formulate my thoughts. Nyla's writing is something else. Each book is so unique and has a way of opening my mind up and making me think just a bit deeper. It's such a special talent and quality she possesses as a writer. Serpent in White is Nyla's retelling of the Brothers Grimm fairy tale of The White Snake. The parallels were 💋
Now. To dig into Serpent in White. Where do I even begin? This book hooked me immediately. Nyla starts painting a picture of this new world. We dive into the Empyrean forest headfirst. This book is poetic and deep yet trippy. Fantastical. With a slight touch of paranormal aspect? Maybe? But I can’t even stress enough how DEEP this book is. At 24% in I was already convinced this book is Nyla's best writing to date. I can feel that that this book truly flowed from her soul. Does that sound crazy? Idc because I feel it.
Abdiel, the servant. Darian, the King. Drake, the Serpent. Each man has special qualities that wove their way into my heart. My favorite part of the charcaters in general is they're a study of contradictions. Very similar in that respect to Joyless. I love that Nyla’s characters test the boundaries of expectations. The characters are unique. They're all strong is so many ways, but vulnerable in other ways and facets that are beautiful and surprising.
As Nyla warns, Rhiannon, the Princess, comes into the book much later in the story. She added another layer of depth to an already deep story. Each character was vitally needed for the characters to complete their own journey. Each piece a unique part of an unexpected whole. It’s hard to explain without spoiling anything, but it’s very true.
The cult aspect of the book is very subtle. After reading this book, I was more than convinced the Expanse is THE place to be. Close to people, to god and the earth. It sounds fabulous. Seriously. Each person with a purpose and able to make use of their talents regardless of social standing or education. Sign me up! And, as always, please make sure to be ready for twists! Nyla is the queen of those. Definitely at the top of my favorite books list. I will be adding the paperback and hardcover to my signed book collection.

My first ever Nyla read and wowwwwzers! I am completely enraptured by her work! This book I hear isn't like her others in a sense. But even so I know I'm officially a fan of Nyla now, and want to read ALL her books. Her writing style was so good. So unique. I just loved everything about it.
Okay onto this review. The Serpent In White was this amazing cult vibe, one with Mother Earth, psychedelics galore, overabundance of spice and everything nice. It was more than a story. This whole part of rebirth (ecdysis as they referred to it. Shedding ones skin. Referring to reptiles) was so fascinating. The characters I loved all around especially Drake. He was a very complex character to say the least. This was a book that I finished and then devoured the authors note but was still just racking my brain on it all. Like so many thoughts to think on. It's so hard to really explain. When a book can leave me still thinking on it days later.... yup that was a book that got me thinking. I love when books can do that. It was just amazing and I was hooked right away!
Seriously if anyone wants to chat on this one that's read it I am so curious on your thoughts! If any of you decide to check this one out. I'm here, know that. But also please check Trigger Warnings. It definitely is a darker one.
