| 1 | * AccidentalInnuendo: The Pocket edition of ''The Serpent'' sports a buffet of phallic symbols on the [[http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/images/0671820494/ref=dp_image_0?ie=UTF8&n=283155&s=books cover]], thus accurately underscoring the novel's sadomasochistic elements. |
| 2 | * GeniusBonus: One member of the Fantasywithbite Website/LiveJournal community described the world-building in this series as "catastrophic," but this defect is the result of Gaskell's reliance on the reader's knowledge of unorthodox prehistory. The sources in the first two books' bibliography can point the confused reader in the right direction. [[note]]To give one example, the titular serpent and dragon of the first two novels are the archetypal reptiles from various myths: the serpent in the Garden of Eden story, the Supreme Seven-headed Serpent from ''The Lost Continent of Mu'', [[Myth/AztecMythology Quetzalcoatl]], the Pelasgian serpent, etc. These titles may also refer to the reptilian Zerd.[[/note]] |
