The Serpent King by Jeff Zentner

5.0

A wonderful and engaging book. It was very well written and the characters were so, so easy to latch onto. I loved the portrayal of parents and the vast difference between good and bad parents, and bad parents who think they’re being good parents. The big comparison is relatable, I’m sure, for many people. Alcoholic parents can be triggering for me in books and this one brought up some unpleasant feelings but it’s real and raw and that part of the story needed to be told. It’s rare that a book can be so painful yet so hopeful but this one was a perfect combination of the two.
