Welcome to the MOSL Book Challenge
Summary: "The peace forged by the love between Zane and Danica, leaders of the avian and serpiente realms that had been at war for generations, is threatened by the arrival of Syfka, an ancient falcon who claims one of her people is hidden in their midst."
While Hawksong was told from Danica's POV, Snakecharm gives us a glimpse into Zane's mind. I have tried to read the rest of the books in this series, but unfortunately, the author loses track of what made Hawksong so incredibly good. The relationships are the heart of these books, not the magic, not the avian lore. But as the series continues, she gets more and more into the fantasy and loses the heart of the story. Snakecharm is interesting and good, but it could have been better. I found myself missing Danica and her thoughts, especially when something profound happens to her.

Summary: "In a land that has been at war so long that no one remembers the reason for fighting, the shapeshifters who rule the two factions agree to marry in the hope of bringing peace, despite deep-seated fear and distrust of each other."
Danica Shardae is next in line for the crown of the avian society, and she is desperate to make peace to end the blood-shed between the avian and serpiente societies. Zane Cobriana is the leader of the serpiente, and he is just as eager to end the war. However, they each know nothing but hatred and revenge in their hearts for the other side...can they find a way to work together to bring peace? Can hawks and cobras ever get along? I actually read this book many years ago, and I re-read it again this past week. It's such a great story and fast read. One of my favorites.
I'm not sure if this book counts as an animal POV, even though all of the characters are shape shifters. Danica has a demi-form as a human with wings, and she can also fully shape-shift into a hawk. Zane can shape-shift into a cobra. The other characters can shift into various birds (raven, sparrow, etc) or snakes (viper, python, etc).
