The book was good overall, minus a few scenes. I think the author could of explained the magic system and worldbuilding better. The enemies to lovers trope in this reminded me of the book "Daughter of the Pirate King", Alosa is really similar to Lou and the bantering between Alosa and Riden are the same as with Lou and Reid (so if you liked that book, you might like this one for that reason) I liked the characters overall too.
Now here are some characters from other books/films that remind me of the characters in Serpent and Dove:
• Coco = Bonnie Bennett from The Vampire Diaries, Coco is literally a Bonnie to Lou (aka Elena) and I love Bonnie and Coco they are my favorite characters
•Ansel = Grizz Visser from The Society, for some reason Ansel reminds me of Grizz probably because they are both Hufflepuffs and because they are both cute and sweet loving characters (I'd die for them both)
•Beau = Cardan Greenbrair from The Cruel Prince, he gives me Cardan vibes all the way he just needs a drink and he's literally Cardan
Songs that remind me of Serpent & Dove (out of context):
•Born to Die - Lana Del Rey
•Still Feel - half•alive
•Traitor - Olivia Rodrigo

hab's bei knapp der Hälfte abgebrochen weil's mich überhaupt nicht abgeholt hat. Ich könnte nicht mal genau sagen warum, aber ich bin mit den Protagonisten so Null warm geworden und fand's auch nicht spannend genug, um's trotzdem weiterzulesen

A very fun delicious read! I ate it right up.
"I leaned back, studying her as she finished my bun. A bit of icing covered her lip. Her nose was still red from the cold, her hair wild and windblown. My little heathen."
"I want to thank you - for everything." I squeezed his fingers, my own stiff and aching from the cold. "Célie was right. I don't deserve you. I made a real mess of your life when I came into it."
His other hand came down on top of mine. Warm and steady. To my surprise, he smiled. "I'm glad you did."
"Reid, if you don't dance with me, I'll go and find someone who will."
His grip tightened on my hips. "No, you won't."
"How can you still be hungry?" he asked, incredulous. "You ate three helpings at breakfast this morning." I made a face. "That was tuna. I have a second stomach for dessert."
"Why the fuck is everyone in this kingdom trying to murder my wife?"
"Reid," she said slowly, incredulously, "did you just curse?"
Then she leaned over Coco's arm and heaved bile all over the forest floor."
"I love you, Lou." His eyes welled with fresh tears. "I-I've never seen anyone savour anything the you do everything. You make me feel alive. Just being in your presence - it's addictive. You're addictive. It doesn't matter you're a witch. The way you see the world... I want to see it that way too. I want to be with you always, Lou. I never want to be parted from you again."
I couldn't stop the tears from falling down my cheeks. "Where you go, I will go."
