No need to read Essex Serpent first. I've read both and both are amazing. Not linked except by brilliant writing. I'll read anything that she writes!!
Jim
you honestly don't need to read either book... they are both awful :(
Lauren
I would think not, it's not a sequel. I haven't read The Essex Serpent yet, I was saving that for later!
Charlotte Cantrell
Definitely not! I DNF The Essex Serpent but really liked this!
Susan
Yes, absolutely no need! However, I do recommend it (and I preferred it). Enjoy!
