Dragged a bit

This book picks up right where the Devil's Thief left off.
Esta and Harte get up to lots of time traveling trouble while trying to collect the Book of Mysteries and the elemental stones.
The Serpent's Curse is A LOT. It felt like it could have been shorter and it was frustrating that it wasn't the conclusion of the series.
I did enjoy learning more about Harte's past and seeing where the relationship between Esta and Harte would go.
I'm invested enough in this story to want to pick up the 4th installment.
Thanks to Netgalley and the publisher for an ARC for review.
