i never noticed how neurodivergent-coded agatha is! esp in this book, where she met a like-minded person. the ending was VERY unexpected, but in a good way. i took one star off only bc the writing was a little choppy at times. i suspect a contractual problem bc the ending felt quite rushed... overall, a v good book.

This was a good conclusion to the trilogy and everything wrapped up very nicely. I didn't see the ending coming and it was very heart-warming how Agatha's friends wouldn't let her face everything on her own.

Pretty much the whole book was really engaging, and I did really enjoy it for the most part... But the ending was not for me tbh. It seemed too convenient and a little ridiculous. Overall, it was a good book, but if the story and the writing were a bit better, it could've been fantastic!

After reading all the books in this series by far, I have to say that the second one was the best- in terms of writing and story... Also this series kinda made me wanna read Agatha Christie's books, so maybe one of those will be my next read

The Silver Serpent by Lena Jones is Agatha's last opportunity to use your little gray cells to help solve a case. 

Will Agatha finally solve her mom's case? 

Agatha Oddlow 

This time, Agatha finally gets her first case with the Gatekeeper's Guild, and it may yield far more clues than what Agatha is hoping to find. Agatha is so happy to have her first real case with the organization that she starts on it immediately with her new partner. I have to say that Agatha may have a crush on her new partner, but it also seems like she does with Liam as well. Agatha has definitely grown up since her first case, and I do miss her detective agency at the school. 

No matter if Agatha may or may not have a crush on her new guild partner, she still ends up solving the case, much to anyone's dismay. 

The Mystery 

An assistant at the National Art Gallery goes missing, and the guild puts together two people who have far too many things in common. Well, except for maybe trying to solve the case correctly. Her partner seems like he wants to cut corners. Anyways, Agatha uncovers clues that solve many things for Agatha and effectively looks like ending the series. 

I wasn't expecting anything that went down, but I am happy that it concluded with a happy ending. 

Five Stars 

I am giving five stars to The Silver Serpent by Lena Jones and recommending it to all. Agatha Oddlow is an excellent series for any child itching to read a mystery that even a parent would love. Sure, Agatha skipping school isn't a great role model, but her wanting to solve cases does. Ms. Jones does a great job of writing this series, and I'm hoping that this isn't the last of Agatha Oddlow. Except if it is, then I'm glad she figured out the overarching mystery. 

I voluntarily reviewed an Advance Reader Copy. This does not affect my opinion of the book or the content of my review. 

Thank you for dropping by! I hope you enjoyed this review of The Silver Serpent by Lena Jones. 

Until the next time,
