Book Description:
In the city of Segeno, it’s eat or be eaten. Someone has to rule the masses. A boy has lost his birthright. His parents killed. Dead and gone. A girl has lost her father. She means nothing to him now.
The city of Segeno stands tall after a great war, the only city left of its kind. Terran has lost both of his parents and is now on the run from a tyrant eager to kill him and cut off the royal bloodline. Parisa struggles with her own identity as even her father rejects her for the color of her skin as he claws for the throne. Along their journeys, they meet unexpected allies and encounter unprecedented magick, but, most importantly, they learn what it is to stand up for themselves and take back their city from corruption.
The Court of Snakes: This Desert Cage is the first of a two book series intended for ages 13 – 18. If you like the Hunger Games, Divergent, and Inkheart, you’ll love these books.
This series talks about systemic oppression, racism, oligarchy, and, of course, magick.

MY THOUGHTS ON THIS BOOK
#iReadBookTours
I really didn’t know what to expect when I started reading this book. I rarely read descriptions because I don’t like to know what the book is about. But turns out it was nothing I had expected. Court of Snakes: This Desert Cage is a very interesting read. This is my first book to read by author Tycho Dwelis, and the plot flows pretty well, enough to keep me reading to see what would happen next. I thought the characters were well created and i enjoyed their development throughout the story as each scene takes place. Parisa and Terran are likeable characters, with Parisa being my favorite because of her feisty personality and her strong determination I could relate to.
This book is a YA Fiction and the genre Dystopian Fantasy. I think the younger generation will really love this book, and those who love a good Dystopian Fantasy, regardless of age would enjoy this on as well. This book gets Four Stars from me. I encourage you to check out Court of Snakes, it’s worth the read!
A special thanks to the author/publisher for a copy of this book. I am not required to write a positive review, the opinions here are mine alone. I am disclosing this with my review in accordance with the Federal Trade Commission’s 16 CFR, Part 255.
I’m Tycho (I also use the pen name Cassidy), and I love storytelling! I’m incredibly passionate about writing, art, and anything
that allows me to create my own worlds. My goal is to write dreamy fiction for all ages that is unique, inspiring, and imaginative. I like to write about themes that include coming of age, magic realism, identity, relationships, and bullying. My books are intended for readers ages eight to twenty-five, and are meant to connect the world of the fantastical to everyday life.
I currently live in Colorado and have an MA in Publishing.
