Rated A Plague of Serpents 10/10

Always a pleasure to read anything by Maitland. Setting the atmosphere and making the characters relatable and realistic - despite the difference in the age they are set in, which also clearly shows - is clearly something that comes easy for the author.

Particularly the scene where the main character (Daniel Pursglove) is interogated and tortured, feels so realistic it made me whince while reading (almost similar to the way some people watch scary movie scenes through their fingers).

The conclusion, which is also the ending of the series felt a bit fast, although not in a rushed kind of way. Perhaps I just didn't want the book and this series to end.

Looking forward to what is coming next from Maitland and which age it is set in.
