jayss 's review for:

Serpent & Dove by Shelby Mahurin

3.0

---

2.5 stars

Good:
+ Beginning and ending were quite a hook
+ The plot twists were promising (

Spoiler

did not predict the Archbishop reveal

)

Bad:
+ The period between the beginning and ending was tasteless filler
+ The writing was unpolished and awkward
+ The worldbuilding was pretty thin
+ The main female character (pants do not a strong character make)
+ It kept changing from YA to NA to a slapstick
+ The lack of subtlety and proper hints
