Love this series so much - the weaving of myths, history, quantum physics, astology and well everything is just stunning
Please bear in mind that this is book 2 and may therefore contain spoilers for the first book.
The story picks up a few months after the ending of Prophecy of Days with Caity back in the castle in Scotland ready to tackle the next part of the prophecy and find a way to stop the evil Fraternitas. In order to do this Caity has to travel to some remote places in order to crack the...more

With The Serpent's Coil I was very scared because in all actuality I read book one when it first came out but never reviewed it (fixed my mistake now) I was actually pretty certain that I would be so lost because it had been a long space of time. However I had NOTHING to worry about, it picked right up from book one and you fell right into the story again. Not to mention in love with the characters.

This series is a lot of fun, but it gets a lot smart at times and hurts my head. ;)
Epic ending to an epic series. Actually, I don't really know if it's the end of the series. I wish it wasn't, but the ending to this book really implied it was, though I could see how the author could squeeze out a third...
Anyway, I absolutely loved it. Most of the time it was hard to guess what would come next (like with Donald and Barend Schlacter in Caity's motel room), though, as with every generalization, there were some exceptions. But certainly not many.

So far so good!
Picking up directly where The Daykeeper’s Grimoire left off, The Serpent’s Coil finds Caity in even deeper water and the stakes are even higher. As with its predecessor, this second book in the Prophecy of Days series is chock full of some of the most intelligent storytelling I’ve ever had the pleasure of reading. There were moments that I had to reread sections, just so I could completely comprehend what was happening. This isn’t a bad thing though.

Oh My Word…This was SOOO Good! Dare I say I liked it even more than The Daykeeper’s Grimoire??
Serpent’s Coil picks up right where Grimoire left off. Caity’s Mom and Dad are on their way to San Francisco to deal with their house that burned down. And Caity needs to figure out where she is going to go to school now that they will be remaining in Scotland.

I absolutely love the mythology in this series because it is so interesting and blows my mind. I think Raedeke does a superb job with that, it holds my attention so well. Even though I would probably be terrified if I tried to do what Caity is doing it is still a lot of fun to read. The mixture of science with the Mayan culture etc. is so cool and I love delving deeper into the mystery. I love getting to explore the world with Caity and I love that she lives in a castle in Scotland, how cool is...more
I had finished The Daykeeper's Grimoire (Prophecy of Days, #1) a while ago so I was worried that reading this after a big break would not make sense. I shouldn't have worried, although we pick up straight were we left off in book 1, you don't miss out on anything.

What was so mind-blowing about this book is that most of the facts it mentions - The Three Hares beginning a sequence in the Flower of Life, the Flower of Life's relation to the torus, the human heart generating a force field in a shape of a torus, etc. - IS ACTUALLY TRUE. Which makes it even more amazing.
Seriously, this is one heavily researched, totally mind-f-ing book.
Fan for life.
Good job, Ms. Raedeke.

After reading the first book of this series, I ran to the library to get the second one. I think I read them both over the span of a couple of days. All I can say is, READ THESE! They are brilliant.
Just as enjoyable and engrossing as the first one. Maybe not the best books to read when you don't feel like being confused though. Because some things in these really break your brain
Have had a "sneak peek" of this one and I can't wait for it to come out. Already watching for any book signing events in our area for Christy so I can be first in line for this one too.
Even though this series is highly unrealistic, I really liked this book. It would be quite the life to travel and also to be part of such a mystery. A really good escape book.
Neřekla bych, že to bylo lepší než první díl i když tady všechno vyvrcholilo. Hlavně mě autorka naštvala, že zase nedala prostor Alexovi. Chtěla bych se o něm dozvědět něco víc, než že je prostě skvělý a úžasný. Ale jinak to docela šlo.
I highly recommend this book for anyone

I enjoyed it very much. It reminds me of my grandmother's teaching of the Mayan's calendars and eternal truth.

2.5 stars. A fun read, but the Mayan mythology and universal consciousness stuff just got a bit too cheesy for me. And it often felt like Caity's speeches were a huge info dump. Still a good series, I just liked the first book better.

Některé věci v té knize mi přišly hodně nereálné a konec úplně praštěný. Na druhou stranu se to rychle četlo a byly myšlenky, které se mi vážně líbily. Caity je otravná, ovšem Justine a Alex byli fajn.
Horší tři hvězdičky
Horší tři hvězdičky
I kind of got lost in the middle. I also found the whole Caity/Alex thing to be a bit of a let down at the end. There could have been more.
3,5
Ty, já Vám nějak nevím... 3 hvězdičky jsou málo, 4 moc, takže to zůstává na něco mezi tím... ;)
