Nina is a Lipan girl in our world. She's always felt there was something more out there. She still believes in the old stories.
Oli is a cottonmouth kid, from the land of spirits and monsters. Like all cottonmouths, he's been cast from home. He's found a new one on the banks of the bottomless lake.
Nina and Oli have no idea the other exists. But a catastrophic event on Earth, and a strange sickness that befalls Oli's best friend, will drive their worlds together in ways they haven't been in centuries.
And there are some who will kill to keep them apart.
Darcie Little Badger introduced herself to the world with Elatsoe. In A Snake Falls to Earth, she draws on traditional Lipan Apache storytelling structure to weave another unforgettable tale of monsters, magic, and family. It is not to be missed.

Wonderful story and characters

First, I want to say that the book had some great elements: folktales, a loving atmosphere for the reflective world to take on life, charming characters, a way to look at oral story-telling in the present day, and a gentle dose of non-binary love.
It took me a little bit to adapt to the structure of the story. I can't put my finger on exactly how it felt different from other novels I have read. I think I am used to long paragraphs of description, and this book focused more on short bursts of description with lots of internal (and external) dialog. If anyone gets a similar vibe or can pick out why it is different, I'd love your thoughts.
The downside of this novel was some of the author's choices. The characters would say things that didn't exactly make sense with their characters or with the audience. At one point, the author described a cellphone and personal assistant (like Siri) to explain what they were and how they were used. It made it the beginning fairly stilted and hard to get through; however, I think it was a crafty ploy from the author. The novel follows a young girl who is doing her own style of oral story-telling by creating digital videos. I think the author was telling the story from an outsider (in this case, an animal person's) perspective and explaining the magic of the modern world to a people who wouldn't understand it. It's only now, as I write this review, that this understanding has hit me. I like the book a bit more now.
Sometimes the voice actors can be a bit silly with voices, but they did an excellent job. I could listen to them tell stories over and over again.
A look at modern oral story-telling.

Oli and Nina are the main protagonists in each of their respective adventures in their respective worlds. I loved them from their introduction. The supporting cast of characters are just as interesting, and lovable. I can easily see—and am hoping for—a sequel to this story.
Highly rec it!
Great novel!

The voice actors did an amazing job. I think if I would have read this the pacing would definitely be to slow since it is for young adults but the characterizations left me feeling throughly entertained. Climate change as a real threat can leave anyone feeling nihilistic or overwhelmed. I would definitely suggest giving this to any teenager that may feel anxiety about climate change. Hope is what positioned on the fore front of this narrative and that’s something that is desperately needed.
Young Adults but Great Read for anyone
